Christian and Heath light up Dark Knight

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2008)

I finally was able to get to the theater last night and watch The Dark Knight. The movie was spectacular. I thought Christian Bale was amazing and Heath Ledger was seriously INSANELY good. This really was such a stellar cast...Caine, Freeman, Oldman...all delivered solid performances. Maggie Gyllenhal seemed an odd casting replacement for Katie Holmes (wonder what she was thinking turning down the role?! Hope it wasn't for Mad Money)but Maggie did an ample job. I think his performance was a marvel and his acting ability boundless. The plot was a bit confusing at times but the action, drama and spectacle more than make up for that. Even the musical score was fantastic! Such a great summer picture!
