Johnny Depp as the Riddler?

I hear that there is a rumour on the web that Johnny Depp is being considered for the role of the Riddler in the upcoming 3rd installment of Batman (the sequel to Dark Knight and Batman Begins)

It's mearly a rumour at the moment, and not at all certain; but I'm a Depp fan, so would be really pleased with whatever film he lands next! (I'm still hoping he will be in the Hobbit)

The Dark Knight- final review!

Why so serious?

A few days ago I wrote a rather controversial review on The Dark Knight. I said I'd like to watch it one more time before I gave my final review... I have watched it again!

I've decided I'm going to change the name: from now on it will be called "The Joker", I decided it was more his film than Batman's, and looking at it from that point of view, I could see the picture as very touching, The joker is a really sad charcter, and really has quite a bit of feeling attached to him!

So in reality, I still love the joker, but hate Batman in this film!

The second watch was certainly useful, as I started to understand the story a lot better... there seems to be far too much to take in on one viewing. So I'd certainly recommend to all you out there, that you go and see this film for the second time.

I thouroughly enjoyed this film, but I can't quite rate it as a classic. still looking forward to the third film!

Movie rating: 9/10 (mostly for The Joker!)

The Dark Knight

"And here we go!"

The Dark Knight

I went to see this last night and first impressions were... Heath Ledger is superb!
Heath Ledger plays the villainous Joker with so much effort put into this great character, I will rate him the best Villain since Hannibal Lecter! Absolutely superb!

Music didn't let us down either, as ever James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer brought us a superb soundtrack as we all expected after seeing a superb trailer!

Cast was quite well picked too.

The only problem I found with the film was that... Director Christopher Nolan created a wonderful setting for a film, but as far as I could see, NO FILM CAME... what was to point in the film? Have I missed the point of the film? [spoiler! Highlight to view] The climax seemed just to be Batman saving a family from dying... surely they could have had a better climax, most superheroes save the world, or save a girl they love or something... where was the climax? [End spoiler]

As it goes I am thinking the first film was much better, though Heath Ledger makes a flawed movie into a gem- a movie that you cannot miss...

One other thing that bothered me about this film: [spoiler! Highlight to view] Nolan seemed to kill off one of his major characters early in the film: Rachel, there was no time for tears for an old friend from Batman Begins. I would have liked Nolan to have given more respect to a main character! [End spoiler]

Well anyway, I have a feeling that I have missed something very important in this film and will reserve judgment until I have a second watch of this film. But as it stands:

GREAT performance from Heath Ledger!

Wonderful musical score!

Story line didn't seem to develop... (though there seemed to be so much potential!)



Parental Guidance?


please tell me what you think! I'd love to hear your views!

Is there going to be sequel to the Dark Knight?

What do you all think.... I really think that Nolan could pull off another sequel, though I haven't seen The Dark Knight yet, so I will have to reserve judgement.

Dark Knight releases in the UK tomorrow, so go ahead and book your cinema tickets!

Will there be a 3rd film to complete a trilogy?
