Unbelievably Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

This movie definitely surpasses the hype. I know that many people have said this, but it is completely true. Not only does it surpass the hype, but it happens to be the number 1 on IMDb top 250. In just one day of being opened it has been rated a 9.7/10.
There is too much to say about all the actors. Of course, Heath Ledger stole the show as the Joker, but all the actors gave a great performance. Christian Bale was great once again. Michael Caine was great as Alfred, he had some of the best lines. Aaron Eckhart was surprisingly amazing. He wasn't really important in the trailers mainly because he doesn't really get that much screen time as Two-Face. However he was very good as Two-Face and really gave a great performance.
The Dark Knight is one of the many movies where I can find little to no flaws. The entire thing went so smooth, everything was just perfect. Nothing was out of place and everything fit where it was put. There wasn't anything unnecessary and nothing was not understandable.
Of course I have to talk about Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker. It was not Heath Ledger playing the Joker at all. It was the Joker playing the Joker. I know I definitely need to give credit to Christopher Nolan for the script, but Heath Ledger portrayed the Joker amazingly well. The way he stuttered in some sentences, the way he chapped his lips, even the way he walked and gestured was just amazing. He put himself in this movie as much as he could, and it is a shame that he passed away.
All in all, this is basically the best movie I have ever seen. I can't wait to see the next, and I can't wait to see the Riddler. If the same people who casted this one cast the next, it will definitely be good. I also hope someone who is "half" dead is still alive.
