The Dark Knight Review -Spoilers-

The Dark Knight, which I saw today, is one of the best movies I have ever seen. And I see a lot of movies. Since this movie is so awesome, I won't ruin the whole plot for you. But I will talk about my favorite parts of the movie. First of, Heath Ledger. His portrayal of the Joker is in my opinion superb. It is magnificent. He brought a lot of character to the Joker, and I really felt creeped out by the man in the makeup.

The Joker is definitely one of the highlights of the movie.
Another great thing about this movie are the appearances of Scarecrow and Two Face. Their inclusion was pretty cool. I won't say when Two Face appears, but I will say that he has pretty big role. Scarecrow only appears for a little bit, but it was still cool to see some of Gotham's other villains.
Maybe the biggest "bang" in the movie are the explosions. Major explosions include a hospital being blown to the ground, a police car shot with a rocket launcher, and even more mayhem. But the best thing about the movie is the Joker's evil "plans" (I have quotation marks there for a certain reason, go see the movie to find out.) At a certain point in the movie, The Joker has two ferries filled with people stuck in a river. One filled with convicts, another full of citizens. Both boats have a lot of explosives on board, and a detonator to explode the other ship. To mix things up in his 'Social Experiment' Joker says he will blow both boats up at midnight. There are many other awesome scenes like this in the movie.
Verdict and Final Words
5 Stars ♣♣♣♣♣ If only more stars could be added. This movie is one of the greatest movies out there right now. Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, and other contribute their acting skills to make this amazing film. In truth, it is hard to explain the pure awesomeness of this movie in a blog post. But there is another way to experience the movie other than reading about it. Go see it. Now.

Hancock Movie Review -Spoilers-

First off, I'll just say that this movie has a cool concept. A alien with super powers protecting the citizens of L.A. But John Hancock has little regard of public safety. He is a drunk, lonely man. One day, Hancock saves a Public Relations man named Ray. Ray offers John to have dinner, and Hancock meets Ray's wife Mary and son Aaron. Ray, desperate to repay John for saving his life, tells him that he will help John fix his public image. Ray tells John that he needs to be less destructive while saving people. While watching TV, John sees a news show where a lady says a warrant out for Johns arrest. Ray thinks that John going to jail would be good for John's image. He says that soon the public will need John again. So John goes to jail, and all the while crime shoots up in the city. On his first day in prison, some of the criminals he got locked up confront him. He warns them to move, but they don't budge. So John sticks of the criminals head up anothers ass. (Yes, really.) Ray gives Hancock advice and a suit to wear when he gets out.
Soon enough, Hancock is let out to stop a Bank robbery turned hostage situation. John saves a pinned down police officer, then enters the bank. John dispatches 3 men, then confronts the fourth. The man strapped C4 to all of the hostages, and has a detonator in his hand. He tells John that if he breaks into the vault, he will let the people go. The man soon makes the mistake of calling John an asshole (which occurs countless times during the movie), so John slices the man's hand off. Later, during dinner with Ray and his family, John discusses his origin. He says that he woke up one day in a hospital in Miami 80 years ago with his skull beat in. He also reveals that he does not age.
After that dinner, John puts Ray to bed (Ray being very drunk), then goes downstairs and attempts to kiss Mary. Mary throws Hancock through the wall of the house and says "If Ray finds out about me, your dead" John, who needs answers, asks Mary to meet him at his trailer. It is revealed that Mary and John are god like creatures born in pairs. Mary tells that all the others paired together and died. Its is revealed that John and Mary are connected. John angers Mary who gets in an aerial fight with John. The fight ends with much destruction, but Ray sees Mary fighting John. That night, Ray confronts Mary, with John in the room. John learns that he was once Mary's husband. We also learn that the others of Johns race died because they married and died. They die because when two of Johns race are close, they start to become mortal. Mary and John have been with each other for 3000 years. When John asks her about what happend 80 years ago, she says that they where becoming mortal again. John was attacked (by whom, it does not say) and hit in the head. Hard. And although John heals, he get amnesiea and does not remember Mary. So she leaves him to protect them both. When checking out of the hospital, the nurse asks for his John Hancock (signature), so John thinks that is his name.
In the prison where John was held, the bank robber (who now has a hook hand thing) and the two men who had the unfortunate butt incidnet are talking about getting revenge on John.
Later, John enters a liquor store to buy some beer. On the Tv, he sees a report of a jail breakout and a picture of the bank robber, but he does not recognize it. While trying to buy the beer, John realizes that the clerk his being held up. While stopping the robbery, John is shot. And he bleeds.
John is rushed to the hospital, and is visited by Mary. She tells that John is becoming mortal by being close to her. She asks him to fly far away so he will heal. Ray and Aaron also go to the hospital to visit John. The three escapees attack however, and shoot Mary. Infuriated, John throws two out of the window. Trying to find the third, John is shot by him. Every time John is shot, Mary feels the same pain. Mary dies, and John seems to. But before The robber can finish John off, Ray chops off his other hand. Hancock, still alive, flys away so Mary can heal. She does.
A month later, John calls Ray and tells him to look at the moon. John "wrote" Ray's buissnes (All Heart, an attempt to save the world as described by Ray) logo on the moon. John is seen in New York fighting crime after that.

Verdict
5 Stars ♣♣♣♣♣ -I thought that the story was great. It kept me guessing to the end, which I like. Will Smith and Charlize Theron are excellent in this movie. I believed that Mary really cared for John, and vice versa. Will was a cocky arrogant, well, asshole. And I loved it. It was defintley one of my favorite movies of 08.
