As i have been a fan of the Caped Crusader since i was a small child, i have seen all the Batman movies and from the moment i saw that The Dark Knight would appear i have been waiting for it anxiously.
My wait was worth wile as this movie is 1 of the best movies i have ever seen.I expected it to be a very good film as i was also very impressed by Batman Beggins,but this movie surpassed all expectations.
The plot itself is superb, very complex storyline, many twists and turns with fantastically complex characters.This movie in my opinion is very psychological as it uncovers many deep parts of the characters persona,also this is 1 of those movies that makes u think about everything u hear.Intelligent,mind-challenging discussions, reflections on many life matters, in other words a very intelligent movie, not a simple superhero movie.
The characters being so complex, fantastic acting was needed and it was obtained with the late Heath Leadger(God rest his soul) as The Joker and Christian Bale in the role of the Caped Crusader(a.k.a. Batman).Of course the other actors did a fantastic job but the 2 main characters performances were astonishing.Bale is no doubt about it THE BEST Batman of all times as he reveals the real soul and mind of Bruce Wayne and The Batman.All the anguish,pain,suffering,sacrifices and more,all of them are here.Heath also created a Joker never before seen, its the kind of Joker that shocks you,scares you,makes you laugh and make you cry,all at the same time.I hope both actors rec-eave an academy award as they deserve it.
Of course accompanied by all of this, the visual effects,music and the action in the movie are great to and fit the movie perfectly.The music used chills you to the bone, the action keeps you tense all through the movie and the effects simply silence you.
Overall this is not just a simple superhero movie, it is a masterpiece, a psychological action, mystery and drama movie like no other.
I strongly suggest going to see this movie as you will not be disappointed, the movie will shock you( in a very good way) like you have never been shocked before.
