For the first time, two and a half hours feels so short!

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2008)

This is about Batman trying to stop the Joker from taking over Gotham City.
"The Dark Knight" is truly amazing. For the first time, I wanted a two and a half hour film to be longer. It's that good! The story telling is very good. Every scene is captivating, shocking and mesmerising. It kept me interested throughout the film, and in fact most of the time my hands were sweaty from all the excitement and suspense.
It's amazing that it does not require tight editing, excessive gore or senseless violence to make the film exciting. Christopher Nolan really knows how to tell a story and transform it into a masterpiece that is not only entertaining, but also thrilling and memorable at the same time. No wonder Christian Bale would only star in the next Batman film only if Nolan is the director!
