Why so serious??

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2008)

Enter "The Joker" in Gotham City to entertain us all, in the form of Heath Ledger and the chaos sets in. He is ruthless,messy,merciless and acts on instinct. Joker unleashes fury in Gotham city by robbing banks and killing his own aides to attract the attention of Batman. Heath Ledger was praised before the release of this movie very much for his psychotic performance as the Joker. Truly, his performance is so inspiring. He made sure he will live forever in our hearts in the form of JOKER after his unexpected death in January'08.
Batman, with the help of the new district attorney, Harvey Dent, cleans up the city streets off crime. Harvey Dent becomes the hero of the city with a human face and Batman has his mask still on. People of the city starts trusting Dent more day by day. Aaron Eckhart also fitted the bill perfectly as Havey Dent/Two Face. Batman arrests Joker with the help of Dent and James Gordon. As the story should go, Joker manages to escape from the prison and corrupts Harvey Dent and changes him to Two Face.
The dialogues of Joker are fun and intriguing at the same time. The way Ledger utters "You complete me" and "I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you?" to Batman is astounding.
Compared to Heath Ledger, Christian Bale has a little thing to offer in the store in this movie. Ledger out does every other actor in this dark masterpiece.
Christopher Nolan has written a beautiful movie here. His characters Batman and Joker are so believable that you completely forget that you are watching a semi-superhero thriller. Batman is all human and vulnerable to the chaos created by The Joker in this epic. Some sequences like the introduction of the Batmobile and the picking up of Lau from his HongKong office are surely adrenalin pumpers for those who seek thrills in action flicks.
Watch The Dark Knight without missing at least for late Heath Ledger as you will not look him again on the silver screen and this movie is worth every penny you are going to spend.
