The Dark Knight Review

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

To me and many others, The Dark Knight has reached the top at its genre. The movie is so well paced that it made 2 and half hour feel like 1 and half hour. This movie is an instant classic that should be watched over and over again, and you will never get tired of it.
The movie is at its climax from the start to the end. At first, I thought the movie is going to take 20 minutes to show us how the new suit and bat-pod are made (as in Batman Begins), but it was so action packed and plot enriched that it skipped it! The bat-pod debut is so emotionally exciting that it makes you want to cheer! Although the movie is a long film, there is no unnecessary scenes. The movie does not walk the traditional path of plot telling. It tells you the plot without you noticing it. The actions are so well distributed among the story line that you feel like the movie has no contrast.
Whenever a great action sequence is about to start, you can feel it because the music foreshadows it. The music grows darker and louder as the action gets warmer. The score plays a very large role in this movie. In fact, the score is so suited to this kind of movie I cannot think of any better music other than this one, all thanks to Hans and James.
When you watch this movie, the action sequence will show you how creative Christopher Nolan is. The action sequences are unlike anything you have ever seen before. The technology batman uses is that only James Bond can dream of.
I want to point out that Batman gives me more emotion appeal even more than the joker. Batman is who I can relate to, but the joker is totally out of this world. This is what the joker should be and he is crazy and cunning as any creature in existence can be.
I like to thank the people who helped making the film, and they have indeed taken filming to the next level! I definitely think this film deserves a win for the Oscar.
