Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2008)

What to say about this movie........hmm what to say? this movie is god damn unbelievable. Now I will first point out that I probably am a biased fan and have been following the production of this movie for three years, but let me tell you, this movie was one of the best, if not the greatest movie experience I've ever had!!! I mean I'll give a quick overview of highlights in the film, but I am sure other people have already mentioned them. First off the acting in the movie is ridiculous. Christian Bale, Aron Eckhart, and of course Heath Ledger tear through this film like a freight train. Heath Ledger's performance exceeds the hype by far, and gives movie goers the best on screen villain of all time!! Christian Bale flawlessly weaves in and out of the complex character of Bruce Wayne/ Batman and Aron Eckhart creates a very believable and tragic performance.
The Cinematography, screenplay, and special effects are also top achievements here. We haven't seen special effects this good since Terminator 2. And there is barely any CGI, most of the action is real in this film, which is rare to see in films these days....
I have always considered myself a movie Geek, and I actually have the last 12 years of the Academy awards recorded, and I know all the heavy names, but let me tell you. This movie is just as good, if not better than any of them. If this movie doesn't get nominated for at least five academy awards such as Best Supporting actor, best screen play, best director, best cinematography, and dare I say Best picture, then the Academy will no longer hold any credit in my eyes....
I know movies like this are frowned upon in there, but it really is that good. This isn't a mindless action flick, this movie is masterfully developed with in an intricate and complex plot, all filled with various themes including dichotomy between good and evil and also with what falls in between.
And if the ending of this movie doesn't move you, then I don't know what will. This had one of the greatest and most memorable endings I have EVER SEEN!! Now stop reading this and go see the movie. And if you already have, GO SEE IT AGAIN. Thank you Christopher Nolan for this brilliant piece of art!!!
