Though this comment may not convince all of you to see this film but I will write it anyway. This film can only be described with one word: Beautiful. It was such an amazing work of art. The cinematography was so amazing to look at. You could a lot of what became the film-noir genre in this film. The lighting, the shadows, the depressing story. I have to say, for a silent film, that you could really tell that a lot of hard work went into the acting in this film. The facial expression were so self explanatory, that if I watched it without English subtitles, I still would have been able to follow the story. The entire time, I was captivated, I was pulled into the film and I would not turn it off or even pause to use the washroom, I just sat and watched it. It was so amazing and I recommend this film to any and all who not only like silent films but to every film-goer out there. It was just so good.

This film was everything I expected and more... To admit, I never really knew much about Bill Maher when I went to see this film. I saw this at the Atlantic film festival and I loved it. My friend had told me that it was going to be good, so when I saw it in the schedule I said " Hmm, maybe i'll see this." So we did. It was hilarious, I wet myself at several points. But! It was also VERY insightful. I actually learned quite a bit about how religion can be REALLY stupid. And it's true. I really enjoyed the interviews with some people who just take everything way to seriously. I loved the comedy being used to explain things that are very serious. So I completely suggest this to everyone, not just Bill Mahers fans.

This was by far, one of the best movies I have ever seen! There was plenty of non-stop action to keep everyone entertained but the thing I think stole the show was Heath Ledgers performance as The Joker. Though I don't want to say it, Heath did such a great job, his Joker surpassed that of Jack Nicholson. He made the Joker darker, scary, and well thought of. This Joker rivals the evil of Hannibal Lecter. This was by far the best superhero movie I've ever seen. All in all, an Oscar winning performance from Heath, and this movie certainly deserves AT LEAST a nomination for best picture. Many will say that it probably won't get best picture, just do to the fact that it's a superhero movie. They're wrong. Go see The Dark Knight everyone, and you'll see what i'm talking about.
