Best in the Series

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2014)

The Dark Knight is a vicious, engrossing, overwhelming, intelligent film that re-defines 'comic-book-flicks'. In Nolan's grim, dark-depiction of Gotham-City, the director strives to make everything real. Others have compared Christopher Nolan's two Batman films to the Tim Burton Batman films, so I won't repeat their observations. Let me simply say that everything about this movie, from the script to the casting to the CGI to the acting and ultimately the directing is superb. There is nothing more to be said about this movie - probably the best superhero film ever made, with a mesmerizing performance by Heath Ledger as the embodiment of chaotic evil
