A slick, cool blockbuster by the sophisticated Christopher Nolan!

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2010)

"The Dark Knight" has perfect cinematography. It is a clean cut film, with amazing camera angles, great art direction, everything looks so sophisticated. Thats what i like about this film, its not just a great blockbuster, but its a great blockbuster with substance. Christian Bale steps into the role of Batman for the second time and he does not disappoint. He is a great actor and really portrays the characters of Bruce Wayne/Batman really well. The newcomer Maggie Gyllenhaul is not bad, you can stand her but i'm sure there is someone better to play Rachel Dawes. The rest of the cast were well selected and really played their characters well. It would be a crime not to mention Heath Ledgers amazing performance as the Joker, he embodies the role of the psychotic and mysterious villain and he really convinces the audience that he is this characters which is a great acting skill. He steals the show in this film. The ending is a great opening to allow a third movie to come along. Christopher Nolan shows through his filmmaking that he has put a lot of effort into this project by the sheer genius of the film. A definite blockbuster and worth the watch!
