The official countdown has begun until the world premiere of The Dark Knight. We are one week away and already the media frenzy around this movie is growing. I’ve yet to find a single bad review online and some of the critics giving the movie positive reviews is really quite impressive. Even The Blot’s favorite film maker, writer/director Kevin Smith says the movie is “epic..it’s the Godfather II of comic book films and three times more earnest than Batman Begins…easily the most adult comic book film ever made.” (link) That’s pretty high praise from a man hard to please!
If you have any inclination about seeing this movie on opening weekend then I highly urge you to preorder your tickets now, because this film is going to easily turn into the biggest blockbuster of 2008 and tickets will be hard to find.
