The Dark Knight

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2008)

This movie is a ten, but apparently I have been told that sometimes if you vote ten, IMDb, doesn't count it, same goes for the vote of a 1.
Regardless, this movie is a ten! Not only the best Batman, the best superhero or comic book movie, but one of the finest movies ever made. I would have to say for sure top ten all time (my list).
Not only does The Dark Knight take the plot to a whole new level (which I wont get into for those who haven't seen it), but the character development of Batman, is phenomenal. Not too mention the casting. Not in quite some time have I seen a cast mesh together so wonderfully, that every single role fits perfectly. Normally, there are some weakness, for example, Batman Begins, awful, awful, Katie Holmes. Thank God for Maggie Gyllenhaal. She really brought Rachel Dawes to life, which was defiantly lacking in the last movie. Aaron Eckhart is simply, amazing. Michael Caine is perfect for Alfred, his timing and wit is so on point. And of course, the best man to play Batman, Christian Bale, if it wasn't for Heath, everyone would be going nuts for his performance. (The same could be said for Aaron Eckhart.) Now to Heath, his role as the Joker has to be hands down one of the finest roles I have ever seen anyone play in a very long time. He steals every scene that he is in, he makes you laugh, he makes you squirm, you hate him, you love him, and you leave wanting more. His portrayal of the Joker is the best acting job I think we will we for a very long time. Unfortunately, we will never see him on the big screen again, (of course after The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus), but I can't imagine his role in that to be anything like The Dark Knight.
I can't wait to see this on the IMAX! A must see!
