The tickets were bought a week and a half in advance.  The talk of the “Dark Knight” had been circulating for some time now.  We were all informed of the impending deadline at regular intervals.  “Be there at 11!”  “We need good seats” “Don’t be late!”  There were four lines outside the movie theatre, all organized for four different showtimes.  There was a camera crew on standby to film the influx of people to see the greatly hyped movie.  People walked in, booed ALL the previews, and prepared themselves with high expectations for what was called “one of the best movies this year.”  It met ALL expectations.

The acting was superb, the graphics were intense, and the actions scenes gut-wrenching.  Christian Bale, along with Michael Caine, Aaron Echkheart and Morgan Freeman, among others, performed fantastically.  The best performance, however, was from Heath Ledger.  He had to have been one of the funniest yet most ruthless villains ever.  You were forced to identify with the man, sometimes laugh with the joker, and at times loathe the lunatic.  A perfect concoction of fear and uncertainty – how far would he go?  Without blowing too much out of the water, his performance really did hold the movie together.  Personally, the villain seemed to have more color than the main character!  All in all, a worthwhile way to spend 2.5 hours of your life.

And from all of us here at Morpheus Media, thank you Rebecca Matt for putting this all together!  It was an excellent event!
