The New Benchmark Of Comic-Based Movies!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

Kudos to Christopher Nolan for directing such an intense two and half hour thrill ride which pushes the benchmark of the comic series to a whole new level! And one of those few movies which not only lives up to the hype, but even surpasses it! Truly remarkable feat of performance by Heath Ledger which further defines the character Joker more than ever! And in my opinion; even surpasses the equally matched counterpart Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the same character in the decade old Batman Movie.
The tension portrayed in being a Batman and also at same time being Bruce Wayne is truly fine work done by Christian Bale. Also worth mentioning. Aaron Eckhart pulls off an remarkably performed transformation from an Attorney to 2-face. And the rest of the cast have done a pretty good job too. All in all the Dark Knight is one those few movies where its really difficult to pin point any weak aspects at all! So to conclude The Dark Knight has become the "Godfather" of comic-based movies and easily one of the best films ever made!
