Simply Excellent

I left the theater in a state of disbelief and awe that such a masterpiece of a performance was still present in today's Hollywood churned movies.
The Dark Knight is by far the best movie and it ranks up there with the Godfather in the critically acclaim department.
Christopher Nolan has managed to surpass the his incredible work in Batman Begins with another superb storyline that just grips and pull your heartstrings. He manages to get the audience to sympathize with Batman's plight and the Gotham City that is portrayed is so realistic that you would be forgiven that if you thought it was real.
The brilliant cast turned out splendid individual performances and they really portrayed their characters with so much emotion that is lacking in today's movies. However, the Oscar nomination and possibly a win should go to Heath Ledger who nailed the role as the Joker. He played the role so well that I felt so terrified that such a criminal could exist. In other words, it was just breath -taking to watch Heath.
Dark Knight is much more than a simple summer blockbuster. It tells the struggle of good over evil and that sometimes you can either be the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
