A few flaws make The Dark Knight imperfect, yet worth all of the money and time!

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2008)

When I heard of TDK (The Dark Knight) for the first time, I wasn't amused. I myself am not a comic-book fan at all, and usually, I do not enjoy or even gather patience to see the films made out of them. But after I heard the hype and rave reviews, performances, and extremely high rating, I bought my ticket a few days early. When I arrived at the theater, it was sold out completely. I had to look around for a good 10 minutes to find a seat. When the screening finally took place, I was stunned and entertained heavily for every second. The story line is semi-original, the dialog is very catchy (yet campy and comic book like nonetheless), the performances by Ledger, Caine, Freeman and Oldman were amazing. One of the main problems I had with this film was Bale's "Batman Voice", which was just all too cheesy and almost embarrassing. Yet from beginning to end, I was surprised at how entertained I was, and actually, I loved just about every minute of it. It was a tad slow, but the whole film itself is worth the wait. This is one of the first great pieces of cinematic art from the new millennium. I recommend this movie 100%, even if you are skeptical like me about comic book themes. This movie is sure to win multiple awards, and I feel comfortable saying that every person involved that will win deserves it 110% I was enthralled from beginning to end, this is certainly close to living up to the hype of "Masterpiece"!
