I went into the theater - still unrecovered from the shock on how this movie had hit No.1 in the IMDBs All Time list of movies (see here), beating my favorites such as Shawshank redemption,God father and Pulp fiction , etc - after all its "just a super hero movie" !!

But then as i walked out after watching this movie , i felt , SURE it was a Damn great movie !!! THE Best Super hero movie i ve ever watched in my life(the previous was Batman Begins - its predecessor) !! The closest a superhero movie can get to a Normal-life drama packed with emotions and psychological brilliance !! The best movie of the year so far !! THE Best Performance by a villain i have seen ever since Sir Anthony Hopkin's portrayal of Hannibal Lectar in The Silence of the Lambs !! Am sure that Ledger would get the second ever Posthumous Oscar in history !! MAN ! What a performance ! Got no words to describe him !! And a surprise package in the form of Aaron Eckhart - his performance was the 2nd best in the movie which was filled with characters playing their roles perfectly !! Although CG was good , i felt it could have been even more good , especially during the fight sequences !! The same was with the Background score !! And finally , the climax was great too !


BUTTTT , Are we missing an important point somewhere ??? HMMMM.... Is this what movies are all about ???! Comic book adaptation !! Unrealistic plot !! Over the top characters !! Aint Real movies are those which depict Human life & Reality - the human sense , emotions, behaviour , psychology,etc ??! Hmmmm.. I leave it that to your discussion !! Although i Stand by my Point !! I loved this movie but it does nt deserve to be on top of Shawshank redemption - No movie can ever have a SOUL to it like Shawshank did - Nor on top of the Godfather - Although its an oscar winnin performance from Ledger , NONE can beat Brando and Pacino as The Corleaones - Nor can it beat Pulp fiction - with Quentin's stunning dialogues and story-telling !! SO , May be it may deserve to be in the Top 10 , but definitely NOT No.1 !!! Hope that day comes soon ! :)

Well i have to say that i was somewhat disappointed today !! :( Am a huge Will smith fan , right from the days of Independence day , and so , although few of my friends wanted to see The Dark Knight that released today , I insisted on seeing Hancock and watchin Dark knight at a later time since there was huhe rush today for its tickets !! I knew it did nt fare that much well with critics and IMDB had given it only an average score ! So i did nt go with much expectations - even then i was pretty disappointed ! Mainly because of the Reallyy KOOL and absolutely Awesome first half of the movie !! It was the most original suff i ve seen in years !! I have never seen such humour for a long time !! Everyone of us were laughing like anything !! But then , once the second half started things took a wild turn with a not-so intersting twist in the movie , and things became USUAL Superhero-flick stuff !! After enjoying the first half sooo much , i was irritated by the emotions and the yet-another-superhero movie atmosphere of the second half !! As we left the hall , all of us were of the same opinion that if the humour was there in the 2nd half too , it would ve been a great movie !! But then as he says now n then in the movie , i can say the movie was only a "Good job" and only for the first half !! Ppl who still wanna watch it - Guys , Dark Knight has released now !! Go watch that !! :-/
