Why so serious? Because it's The Dark Knight!

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2009)

Batman is back and fresh! This time he's facing the Joker.
Heath Ledger's Joker is considered to be the best Joker so far, and for good reason. In the movie he's a sick, demented psychopath with a cunning mind who is always one step ahead of Batman. Heath's performance is just brilliant.
But so is Aaron Eckhart's, who plays the mayor of Gotham city. Christian Bale and Maggie Gyllenhaal aren't very bright actors in this one, but that doesn't affect the overall impression.
TDK has many mind-blowing action scenes and monologues which don't bore you. It's dark, but at the same time doesn't exaggerate with its darkness. It's meant to cut your breath every minute and make sure that you won't forget this experience.
Final Score: 4.5/5 or 9/10
