Worth Watching

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2015)

Step aside, Spider-Man 2 and Superman II: The Dark Knight surely reigns as the greatest superhero film of all time. From its thrilling first frame to its last, it has raised the standard of films.
After the super hit movie Batman Begins, in which the billionaire Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) cleaned up corrupt Gotham City by becoming the Batman, now he has joined in the fight against crime by the equally committed district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).
Enter the Joker (Heath Ledger), a fearless psychopath who pushes Batman and its residents into a battle. Christopher Nolan has skillfully woven action and suspense wonderfully in the movie.
The Dark Knight's real star is Heath Ledger, who stole the show with his remarkable performance. The cracked white makeup of the Joker along with his blood-red lips makes him even more frightening. And while Nicholson(in Batman(1989)) was a merry, scary joker's acts like "do you know how i got these scars?", are even darker. This haunting Joker surely makes The Dark Knight an unforgettable movie.
