    yes I've seen the movie and lemme just say I'm pleased with it. And let me just also say that no matter whether you were almost up for 24 hours the previous day, if there's something you've already put your mind and heart into, you can wake up and feel normal no matter how much you slept or whether that sleep messed your sleeping cycle so badly. Other than that, below might contain some spoilers, so yeah go on with that in mind. OH btw, no need to stay after the credits because there's nothing. Props to the guy working on the theater for letting us stay even though they have to clean up for the next showing.

    So yeah. Honestly I think Heath's portrayal of the Joker was definitely some scary ass shit, but not that much. I mean I was expecting a more fucked up Joker persona but what I saw was pretty damn good. Seriously it would be someone I would not want to meet in person, ever. The cinema we saw it on only got 6 people on our showing, but I guess a crap load of others went early just to buy tickets for the later showings, which solidifies my theory that if we waited for Friday or Saturday night to see it, chances are slim. This is a hella good movie, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna break so many records. And it's hella long as well, marked by the agonizing hour or so I had to go through cause I was holding my bladder but definitely didn't want to miss a second of it. It would be interesting to see if a third movie from the Nolan era would be made cause of the ending. My only objection is the surprising demise of Dent, cause come on now, he would make an awesome villain for later movies. And to see that the death was so simple? Come on now, give us something better to see him go. Well I didn't expect to see his role as you-know-who so much in this movie cause I initially thought it was gonna be like the end of the first movie, just a teaser for the next one, preferably by showing his final face. But alas it didn't happen, his role was way more in the movie, and well he died. Sucks. Props to Cillian Murphy for reprising his role as Scarecrow even though he's only on for 10 minutes or so (at first I doubted that was him, but the credit roll confirms it).

    Does Ledger deserves an Oscar? Honestly I don't know, but to give it to him cause he passed away would be wrong. It's nice to see all the comparison of the Joker and Batman character, with the former stating in the film that it looks like they're gonna be facing each other forever, and the fact that they can't kill each other because of their own fucked up reasons, and of course because one seems to exist because of the other. That's why it's so ironic that Heath passed away. Farewell, you did a superb job portraying him. You will be missed.

    Huh, seeing that the movie ended that way, could it be that a third movie will be based on the Manhunt arc from the comics? We'll just have to wait I guess.

    And yes there weren't any Watchmen exclusive trailer before the movie cause this is Indonesia. That sucks.

    Thank goodness I didn't wear any of the Joker shirts that I mentioned before cause all I saw was little nerd kids who wore them to the movie.
