The Dark Knight was amazing…

Great flick. Jonathan, who was sitting with Kristin and I, has a very positive spoiler-free write up of it over on his blog: Country Caravan: The Dark Knight. I myself don’t know if I think Ledger’s performance is a certain Oscar nomination, but it was quite good. I also don’t know which movie I liked more, Iron Man (*) or The Dark Knight (*). Iron Man was definitely lighter than The Dark Knight, but Tony Stark is more human than Bruce Wayne. I’ve always favored Marvel Comics over DC Comics simply because Marvel lives in the real world with New York and Chicago, while DC Comic hides in the mythical Metropolis and Gotham. The characters in Marvel seem more like what me and my friends would be like if we were blessed/cursed with super powers, while DC Comics characters are more symbols than humans. Thankfully, The Dark Knight is one kick-ass symbol. Go see it as soon as you can. Seeing it in IMAX was amazing.
ps—a copy of the poster pictured above is now hanging in my office at Mahalo.
Update: Mahalo Daily interviewed some of us after the movie and here it is:
