I took my friend for his birthday to see The Dark Knight this weekend, since his girlfriend had no interest in seeing it and just about everyone else we know had seen it. A group of 4 of us (three of which had seen the movie, including me) drove to the theater to see if it would be just as enjoyable the second time as it was the first time.
It was.
Now, obviously there are differences in your movie experience when you see a movie for the second time. You know what the action sequences are, you know who lives and who dies, and you know how it ends. But with this movie, watching the action sequences was still really cool, I still jumped during one scene where a dead body hits a glass window (and I knew it was coming- doh!), and the ending is still fantastic. It's not quite the same heart palpitating catharsis, but it's still pretty damn good.
One of the reasons for this is the intelligent character development. It really is exciting to watch the Joker and Batman go up against each other, whether in a fight or just in the interrogation room. The performances are that outstanding. And the script has so many great one-liners, allowing the dialogue to flow smoothly from one scene to the next. My favorite? "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Poetry.
So basically, this movie kicks ass and just keeps on kicking. :)
