better than expected

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2008)

before i saw the dark knight, i prepared myself for just another hyped-up superhero sequel. and me, hating action movies, found it the best superhero movie i have ever seen! it was thoroughly entertaining in every way and definitely delivered. starting with the acting- it had great actors in it. Christian bale played a beautiful balance of Bruce Wayne and batman, or the "dark knight." heath ledger, wow.. he played an amazing part and i wouldn't doubt he wins an Oscar. it was not what i expected, but way better. i love how there's kind of a moral, how not everyone can be trusted.. and not to rely on just one person to be the "hero," as said by the joker. the storyline was not exactly "classic batman." especially when it came to the joker. he was twisted and crazy, but portrayed perfectly and he was made very believable. not as family-oriented as you would expect your regular superhero movie to be, but definitely a great movie. after seeing it, i definitely recommend it and was not surprised with how much it has grossed so far.
10 out of 10 (:
