Greatest comic-book hero film indeed

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2015)

This film 100% deserves its current IMDb-user rating.
Heath Ledger's acting is both perfect and insurpassable. And as usual, there is no waste of Oldman, Caine, and Freeman.
The movie is not overly lengthy because of its thrill at every turn, the soundtrack is literally perfect (this goes for the whole trilogy) because of how it truly emanates the essence of movie- Batman, the intrigue with the entire urban spectrum of Gotham is excellent, no screen time is wasted with less-than-important scenes, and this film is truly the gem of Nolan's fantastic trilogy.
The performance seen in The Dark Knight features absolutely nothing less than the apex of Joker-plots and Joker-personas that will ever be seen on screen (And I do not say this simply because Heath Ledger happens to be dead); as well as the epitome of all movies that could have the tags "Dark" and "Action".
Unless action films are not "your genre", there is no reason to watch this film only once.
