Deserves a 9

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2019)

The Dark Knight is perhaps one of the greatest movies of all time. My only qualm with this movie is that watching it almost ten years later, I noticed it was not actually that good. Much like The Departed, it is not able to time well. Other movies do this wonderfully, like The Godfather or Scarface. Not The Dark Knight.
The Joker is probably the coolest on-air representation of all time. The scenes have so much dread in them, and put the power in the little man. I feel all Batman movies are a divide between the rich and the poor. This movie depicts that as well.
The story is that the Joker takes over the entire crime organization of the city of Gotham. And it's basically up to Batman to fight back and defeat him. There's also a mayor who's life comes into peril. That's basically it to be honest.
It's a great movie, well worth the watch. Surprisingly as well, it's also one of the best crime movies out there, told from the perspective of the police/good guys.
Deserves 9 Stars.
I'll give it 8 Stars
