The Movie The Dark Knight Finally Deserves.

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2005)

Finally The Dark Knight has hit cinema as he should have, forget Batman Forever and Batman and Robin the whole Dark Knight Image and Vision is not mean't for kids. The whole Batman/Dark Knight character deals with issues such as Revenge,Murder,Crime,Insanity and Despair these things are not to be put in a kids film. Batman and Batman Returns were both Great Films but they will be separate from Batman Begins (Different Origins and Darker Vision)the others were plain overplayed kids crap that are not worth watching.I would compare this movie with Brandon Lee's The Crow as both have got the Bleak Comic Book Vision Perfectly and the Title Characters are incredible. The Crow is another amazing film that tackles the serious issues as above. Bale is Awesome in the title role capturing the calmness and despair of Bruce Wayne and switching to the Sheer Aggression/Rage and Darkness of Batman and the other actors Oldman,Caine,Hauer,etc play the characters perfectly but this is definitely Bale's Movie. The setting is perfect,capturing a time 5-10yrs from now and with present day issues(crime,poverty,etc).The Sets and Visuals are Fantastic and the Images on Screen are Mindblowing.The score is also spot on and it gives a feeling of emotion to key scenes. Let's just hope that the Dark Knight Films get Darker and More Brutal and that they keep hold of the actors (Bale,Oldman,etc)and go back to it's origins because the Future of the Dark Knight does not exist in camp,overplayed kids films, let's just hope the movie moguls understand this! it's more than just bums on seats. There are tons of films out there but very few with real substance, but this has it and in bucket loads.
