The Dark Knight is a good film that will be forgotten eventually

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2009)

The Dark Knight is a good action movie that features tightly crafted action sequences and it boasts a decent story to tie it all together. Sadly though the story is still drawn out like all comic book movies. The acting also is very bland with only Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine performing well.
The direction is solid and Nolan has learned from his mistakes in Batman Begins. To say the least though, the film needed a better editor as the film kind of drags on past it's expiry date. For a movie this long it needed a really good story but it lacked it and the ending is terrible. Overall though it's a good film, just not one of the best of 2008. It'll be a fun movie to see for a night but the Dark Knight won't have you looking back on it as a classic.
