Dark, funny, intense, and a masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

It seems to me that this film is the best of 2008. And many years to come. It is simply a masterpiece! The entire time, from the first take, to the breathtaking last, I was on the edge of my seat.
The acting, well what can I say about it. WONDERFUL! Christian Bale does a great job as Batman the second time. Aaron Echkart does a great, but disgusting Harvey Dent outlook. Morgan Freeman is always funny, along with Michal Caine. Gary Oldman does an awesome job as Gordon. Maggie G did a good job. (I'm glad they didn't bring back Katie Holmes.) But now the highlight.......THE JOKER. Heath Ledger's incredible job as the joker brought out the characters dark side, with a few funny stuff thrown in! I would take Heath Ledger's Joker over Jack's any day! Jack's Joker has the funny clown side with his white face. While Heath's brings the dark creepy side with his angry face paint covering up his violent scars.
The Joker is the best part of the entire film, his evil dark character is deliciously great. The way he stands, looks, how he kills people, and of course, the smacking of the lips. In every scene with him in it, my hands shook. I noticed a few rows down, the first time you see the joker, a woman began to cry. The film made me sad as well to.
The action was one of the greatest i've seen in a while. Nolan brings things out I have not seen in a film before. So many cool and disturbing action scenes. Nolan I think is one of the new visionary directors. This movie brought out an intense side of the story of batman. The entire film is intense. That's why I liked it.
The film in incredible. Heath Ledger would deserve an Oscar dead or not. I will see this a lot in the theater,and will be added to my DVD collection.
The film will make you laugh, jump, cry, and applaud at the end. I know I was.
