The Best Movie Of The Year & Quite Possibly The Decade.

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

In the 2000's we have seen so many amazing films including Gladiator. The Lord Of The Rimgs Trilogy, Million Dollar Baby, Crash, Batman Begins & even Iron-Man. All those films were fantastic but The Dark Knight was even better. I Loved The Dark Knight because it was the perfect movie & the perfect sequel everybody hoped for. The Plot was excellent, the cast was fabulous, the special effects were good, & the action was awesome. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was legendary. He deserves the Oscar for best supporting actor. Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest actors of all time and he was great as the Joker in Batman (1989) but this Joker was better than Jack's Joker. One Scene that would probably give Heath Ledger the Oscar is when he meets up with the mob & shows them a magic trick. He was scary and funny as the true DC Comic Joker. Christopher Nolan can finally be named a great director because look at the movies he's made Memento, Insomina, Batman Begins, The Prestige, and this classic The Dark Knight. The way he crafted this movie with the perfect shots was incredible. Christian Bale is the perfect Batman, he was really good as Bruce Wayne but even better as his alter ego Batman. Aaron Eckhart was awesome as Harvey Dent/Two-Fac , this was his breakthrough performance for him & did an excellent job. Gary Oldman was great Lt. James Gordon.Morgan Freeman & Michael Caine two great actors did great as Fox & Alfred. I was very disappointed when Katie Holmes wasn't going to reprise her role as Rachel Dawes, so Maggie Gylenhaal had a lot to live up to & she was perfect. The action scenes were great, one scene with Batman & Chinese mobster Lau was awesome & the best scene of the movie was The Batman & Joker chase scene. It was perfect that one scene. This movie is intense, dark, exciting, & will keep on the edge of your seat. I recommend that this classic for a best picture nomination, Go see this movie! R.I.P Heath Ledger 1979-2008
