The Dark Knight is a masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2008)

The Dark Knight is one of the best films of the year. I would not be shocked to see it nominated for several academy awards. It's a Masterpiece in many ways. For example, the action sequences are epic and shot wonderfully, the cinematography is excellent. The direction by Christopher Nolan is perfect. The Script by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan takes a masterful stroke as they go deeper into the story of Batman's and Gotham's Struggles. Also, the acting is superb, every performance is top notch and everybody is giving it all they got. Christian Bale is the best batman ever in the franchise as he plays a broken man torn between being Batman and Bruce Wayne. Aaron Eckhart is the lawyer Harvey Dent who Gotham has now turned to for help against the gangsters and thugs as they are weary of batman's vigilante crusade and they accuse batman for getting cops killed and property damages. Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over Katie Holmes Part (yay!) as Rachel Dawes, lawyer and the woman who Bruce Wayne has always loved. The late Heath Ledger is The Joker in such a chilling and depraved performance. Heath Ledger must get an Oscar nomination and hopefully a win for this dark and sinister portrayal of The Joker. The Joker comes to Gotham and starts causing destruction and chaos. The Joker corrupts people and gives Batman and Bruce Wayne Ultimatums. This film gets intense as films like No Country for Old Men and The Departed. This film is not only an epic action film but also excellent story telling that needs to be seen.
