The Dark Knight Review
Director: Christopher Nolan
Genre: Action/Crime
Codestar30 Rating: 9/10
Batman (Christian Bale), Police Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) and the new district attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), are Squeezing the criminal mobs hard. They are on the verge of doing some major damage to the operations of the low-lifes in Gotham City. In their desperation they accept an offer from the psychopathic Joker (Heath Ledger) to kill the Batman for half of all their money. Batman struggles to cope with everything the Joker throws at him, but with help, he fights on. However, the Joker is like no threat Batman has been faced with before.
1st off, this is the best Batman film, it out does each of its predecessors by a mile.
This movie has so much going for it. The most notable feature in my opinion is the amazing performance by Heath Ledger as The Joker, which deservingly won best supporting actor, and it is a tragedy that he is no longer with us. He just plays the part so well, its impossible not to believe he really is a deranged psychopath, with a chilling laugh and conducts his horrific crimes with such a casual attitude. Aaron Eckhart also does a notably good job playing Harvey Dent, and the rest of the cast put in a good performance to.
There is plenty of action. Fist fights, car chases and explosions. The Batman beats many a criminal to a pulp. The plot is luscious, with twists, turns, and suspense galore. There is never a dull moment, as the next threat from The Joker is always lurking around the next corner.
This is a great movie, possibly the best comic book hero movie ever. You definitely need to watch it in the unlikely event you haven't already. The Dark Knight is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
