Astounding (Perfect)

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

The Dark Knight was 100% astounding. The first time I think I've ever walked out of a theater and not had a least one complaint. The perfect superhero movie. I'll remember the movie for its top notch performances. Every scene Ledger is in is pure magic. He doesn't steal the scenes hes in, he takes them. Eckhart is absolutely insane as Dent. You really feel for this guy. He is completely controlled throughout the entire movie. Even as Two-Face. Nolan took the screen time to make us believe in Dent and at the end it shows. Bale is perfect as Batman again. Alfred, Fox, Gordon, etc all get there due. I will remember this film mainly for how spread out everything is. Every character is used. The story is complex, but perfect for the particular movie. Visuals are also excellent. I really can't think of one thing I disliked about the film.
I'll remember this film for Ledger's and Eckhart's performances, the character development, and the overall fantastic directing on the part of Nolan. The perfect superhero movie. 10 out of a possible 10.
