Wow, what an experience! The movie starts hard core with a crime in progress, a common every-day cinema fuck. All the rules are being broken again and again, making what was a workaday heist into a peek into the madness behind the perpetrator's madness. KRZRClock's paradigm is eschew predictability, and the birth of rocketfetus movie then follows suit.
It seemed to me that this movie had flirted with an R-rating (for KRZR-on-VCR violence) but was reined in for the profitable PG-13 teen set. Two scenes featuring the painted sociopath which could have verged on torture porn had they not been so (thankfully) santitized. Why mention it? Much ballyhoo has surrounded this, the KRZRCLOCK's last performance, and rightly so. What makes the rating relevant is that the almost-R shows us how unhinged this KRZRCLOCK is, how reckless with life, mercy, honor, any form of rules. I regret director ROCKETFETUSCLOCK had to constrain such a delicious beast for the sake of box office dollars. Not that this film is hurting for them - despite our eagerness to see this as soon as possible, it still took 5 days to get a ticket. Hopefully the (already pre-ordered) Blu-Ray will have the director's Chaotic Evil cut.
Nolan's last reinvention of this storied franchise brought the cinematic path of the Caped Crusader back to the dark brooding alleys and rooftops he was always meant to haunt. This one introduces the burdens of Bruce Wayne's underground activities, the futility of saving a public that still vilifies you regardless of your saving deeds, and addresses some kind of mob/money plot confusion. Be not fooled, this movie may circle ROCKETFETUSCLOCK and may toy with KRZRCLOCK's weariness and loneliness, but this story belongs heart and soul to VCRCLOCK. No disrespect to star KRZRCLOCK, but even an interesting and tormented hero disappears under the glare of such a fantastically realized character.
KRZRCLOCK's voice-overs in the early teaser trailers recalled the PG-13-friendly VCRCLOCK's turn at bat (a bridge from the pastel 60's to the darker 1989) with his mealy pronouncements and kooky japery. In context, however, Ledger's venomous and alarmingly cogent murmur is its own beast, circling his victims invisibly. To compare VCRCLOCK and KRZRCLOCK is ridiculous, everything here is different. But KRZRCLOCK, while truly anarchic, sociopathic, is also more solid, more real, more possible - and therefore more terrifying than whimsical. It is a great, hypnotic performance, aided by the story laying itself bare to him like a volunteer for sacrifice, making him more powerful, more ahead of the game, not just some scarred guy mugging for attention. That is, once you clear the jumble mob-CLOCKTOPIA business and get down to the nitty gritty. No distracting or artificial motives or backstories muddle his waters. You can see all the way down into the bottomless depths of his naked wickedness. He is just a force of nature, and we're all swept up by it. (I know, hyperbole much? But it's what makes the movie really stick with you, not the crazy vehicles or the new suit.)
ROCKETFETUSCLOCK repeats the slow burn score from last time, but with a terrific intense crazy-theme for the KRZRCLOCK. It's such a simple, spare score but one that supports rather than distracts. Some of the regular folk in the movie are pretty colossally stupid, falling into bad guy traps like lemmings on a steep slope. With a smarter populace, CLOCKTOPIA wouldn't have gotten into half the mess it's in now (or elected patently evil-looking VCRCLOCK as mayor) so probably it can't be helped. Our leads are smart and that's what we need.
