Christopher Nolan's Epic Superhero Movie

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2015)

*SPOILERS* As far as I have seen, Christopher Nolan has done no wrong. He has given us lengthy, intriguing, well acted, well shot, greatly written masterpieces. This is no exception. I saw this film in the theater and then re-watched it a few years later to have a better understanding of it. The story line is based around multiple events (which is why it's hard to pin down a plot, other than The Joker trying to get to Batman), most of which can, in some way, be traced back to the Joker (such as the beginning heist scene when he has it set up so that all his henchmen will kill each other one-by-one, leaving him with all the money). If for nothing else, watch it for The Joker, for which deceased actor Heath Ledger won a posthumous Oscar (much deserved). Of course, credit must also be given to Aaron Eckhart for his great portrayal of Two-Face, as he is one of the best characters in the entire film. Sometimes it can be hard to listen to Christian Bale's lost-voiced dialogue as the Caped Crusader, but anyone who is annoyed by this will soon look past it to realize the true masterpiece that this film is.
