Americans love to exaggerate everything...

Rating: 7/10 (10 August 2008)

With all do respect, the film is certainly not worth being voted no. 1 at IMDb's 250. Actually, none of my European mates understand that. How come, such film surpasses, for example Shawshank Redemption or Se7en? I guess, and for sure I hope, that it's the temporary, immature yell-off feeling, which will calm down with time, in order to become a objective opinion. Please, tell me one thing: apart from the phenomenal acting of Heath Ledger, what is "the masterpiece"? In every important paper here, down in Europe, we can read: "What's the point of calling this film a masterpiece, whereas, apart from the Joker, the film is not even as good as Batman: Begins. We've already heard from the friends from across the Atlantic, that "Transformers" were "the masterpiece", which is a lot of a grotesque. The film, for sure, is a very good piece of cinematography, but far from being no.1. Far from being no.10. Let's wait, eventually, the film will become and an "OK Movie". Nothing more, nothing less. Yet, Heath Ledger's performance will remain for ever. The evidence? What can "The Dark Knight" get at Oscars? I would bet on Heath Ledger. Still, nothing more. That's the truth we all have to accept. The film, I shall repeat again, is NOT the masterpiece. Regards
