Who would've thought a Batman movie could be so...Perfect?

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2013)

The Dark Knight is a revelation in film making-both comic book and regular. Usually I give comic book movies slack, since the actors aren't meant to be brilliant, he plot is not meant to be mind-bending and meaningful, and the theme is supposed to be something along the lines of, "Heroes will always be there to save the day!". However, if I give Christopher Nolan's masterpiece "The Dark Knight" slack, I would be driving myself insane to put an infinity out of ten for the rating. The Dark Knight needs no slack put on it, it is a GREAT film. Starting off with the acting (I'll end with The Joker), Alfred (Michael Caine), Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale), Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) pull off the (second) best part of the film, the acting is...Beautiful. Yes, these actors are beyond good, however, the "main attraction" is Heath Ledger's version of The Joker. You feel as if Ledger is actually as insane as The Joker and his acting is beyond brilliant and beautiful to the thousandth power (RIP).
However, that is only the acting, the plot is GREAT and the theme is something we should all remember. I won't spoil anything, though, you deserve to watch this movie for yourself.
Or, better yet, IT deserves for you to watch it.
OVERALL: The Dark Knight is quite possibly the best movie I have ever seen, the acting, plot, theme, directing-I could go on-is just magnificent. If you haven't seen it simply because it's a "Batman movie" you are truly missing out. Nolan's work of art is so brilliant and good that The Dark Knight isn't even a Batman movie anymore. If you haven't seen it, you are truly missing out on something extraordinary.
