Shining through the dark

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

Now,Now here we go. I cant remember for how long i was waiting for this film to come out. The dark knight is probably the most awaited film of the decade,it was surrounded by hype from the moment the production began.On top of that, it dealt a heavy(sad) blow with Heath Ledger's death. Finally when i saw it,I was completely blown away.The movie is probably the best in years.It has a brilliant cast,great acting and to top it all,Nolan's masterful direction.Christian Bale as the Batman is very convincing,so is Michael Caine,Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart.
The real hero of this film however is Heath'Joker'Ledger,he not only delivers the best performance of his life,but also terrifies you and brings out probably the baddest,sadistic and ass kicking villain in cinema history.He gets so immersed in the character that you can hardly imagine him doing something other than playing Joker(his performance in Broeback Mountain to say the least,is forgotten) Nicholson's Joker in the 89' Batman does not come even closer to this one as it was more of a buffoon than a criminal.Ledger is Psychotic and will leave a mark on your mind forever.It is sad that such a talent passed away at such a young age,however he does deliver one of the most spine chilling performances ever before he died.Hats off Heath Ledger,an Oscar too is a very small honor for such a talent. Rest in Peace.
