Those of you who have seen the movie, know exactly what the title of this review alludes too, no more needs to be said.
Those of you who haven't seen the movie... what, exactly, are you waiting for?*

I'm still not sure what it is that I can say on this film that hasn't been said. It has been out in the States for over a week and the European opening weekend has come and gone. I think I manged to convey if a few words in my previous entry the feel of the movie, as it related to me.

It is, without a doubt, one of the most intense, tense, thrilling, terrifying and exhilarating films I have ever seen, if not the most. I'm having trouble thinking of another movie that left me so shaken and speechless. The Dark Knight is a work of cinematic art.
I came into this movie with a huge amount of baggage; not only have I been lapping up the hype for the past two years, since the announcement that a sequel to Batman Begins was in production, but also as a Bat-Fan. I've been a Bat-Fan since I was a child, before I began reading comics regularly.
I was, obviously, not disappointed.
My Review - No Spoilers )

It is a deeply horrific film. It is a far scarier movie than any slasher movie out there. Human nature is displayed flayed and gutted for us all to see.
Not every movie goer is a conciseness viewer, but unless one ignores the guts and glory, there is no way you miss the moral and ethical tragedy that is played out before you.
Though I didn't and still don't, feel any kind of catharsis, it is a very satisfying movie and you can't help but bask in its affects and effects.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
