Magnificent

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

I waited years for this film. I just finished watching it in IMax in the midnight premiere. Have I got some thoughts or what?
I'm not going to go into all the stuff everyone else has already said. By that, I mean I'm not going to write about how much Heath deserves that Oscar, although I think he definitely does.
Before I went into this movie, I thought that between leaked photos and video clips, I knew way too much. Boy, was I wrong. I knew nothing about what I was going to see. I made all these predictions. I was wrong about everything. There were certain things I guessed right, but in some way, I was still wrong.
The dialogue and shooting of the Dark Knight was flawless. The music was somewhat of a combination between the first film and the Prestige.
The twists were terrific. Every time I realized what was about to happen, I held my breath. The twists would be followed by straight up action. Action that Michael Bay could only dream of figuring out how to shoot. I mean, Gotham was a serious war zone. I really had that feeling that the Joker was going to strike at any minute.
I give this film a 10/10 on IMDb. Unbelievable stuff. I'm proud of you, Christopher Nolan. And Heath, you truly were a force to be reckoned with.
