Great but not the Greatest

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2008)

First off, The Dark Knight was a fairly amazing movie. Yes, Heath Ledger pulls off an amazing performance as The Joker, and he steals every scene that he is in. Not to take away from the rest of the acting, which was also well done. Great action sequences and a good story line come together to round off this great movie.
HOWEVER, I have to say that this movie is slightly overrated, especially considering that it has been voted as #1 on IMDb's Top 250 Films of All Time. I'm not saying that it doesn't deserve to be IN the Top 250 but I am saying that movies such as Pulp Fiction, Fight Club and American History X are films that I would rank higher than The Dark Knight.
That said, it is still a great movie and when it comes out on DVD, I will be sure to buy a copy and place it right next to Batman Begins in my DVD collection.
My Verdict - 8/10 P.S. No offense to anyone who regards The Dark Knight as their favourite movie or deserving of the #1 spot. This is just my opinion.
