The Dark Knight - Wow

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

Nothing can express how great of a movie The Dark Knight is.
First of all, Heath Ledger's performance is one that cannot be duplicated. He is very cunning, menacing, and creepy throughout the entire film. I found my mouth hanging open a few good times. Words cannot describe how amazing he was. He deserves an Oscar nomination because The Joker is his best role ever. No...he deserves to win the Oscar nomination...no contest.
There were moments when I thought "Wow I was never expecting that!" The action is very intense and sometimes I would wonder if the movie should be PG-13. All the other main actors such as Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman gave great performances as well. The score is great thanks to the combined forces of Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard.
Chrisoper Nolan is an amazing director. He hasn't even made a lot of movies and 3 are on the top 250(now 4 because of dark knight). If he doesn't win the Oscar for best director, I would be very disappointed. Can't wait to see what he does with the third installment.
Overall, the best film of the summer and probably the best of the year. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece that you do not want to miss witnessing on the big screen.
