The Dark Knight is a Triumph

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

The film transcends the genre and raises the bar for Comic Book movies making the first one that is a legitimate contender for the Oscar for Best Picture. Calling it a comic book movie is actually kinda of an insult. Chris Nolan has crafted a masterpiece that will be known for all time and is deserving of the best director nomination. Christian Bale owns the role of Batman and he is the best one to date outdoing the great Michael Keaton.The Late Heath Ledger simply disappeared into the role and truly gives a haunting performance that is Oscar caliber and in my opinion his best performance and deserves the first posthumously awarded Oscar since Peter Finch. Aaron Eckhart is amazing and sines in the role of Harvey Dent.He has done something truly amazing ans has cemented his status as an A list actor. Gary Oldman is also perfectly cast as good cop Jim Gordan and delivers a truly great performance Michale Cain and Morgan Freeman shine and give solid work as they continue to offer Bruce Wayne advice as Batman Butler Alfred Pennyworth and WayneEnterprises CEO Lucius Fox respectively. Also Maggie Gylenhall is somuch better than Katie Holmes. The Film is all around amazing and Ican't wait to see the next installment from Nolan and Company.
