Awesome And Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2017)

The Dark Knight is the second part of Christopher Nolan's gritty re-imagination of the Batman saga. This was a pretty good film. The production quality was magnificent and Ledger's performance as the joker was magnificent. Much has been said about the late Heath Ledger's turn as the Joker. Granted, he completely submerged himself in the role but to me the performance just doesn't seem right. The strength of the film is carried on the backs of the two primary characters, Heath Ledger's Joker, a sado-masochistic, psychotic, sociopathic killer with no limits, no boundaries, no rules and Christian Bale's Batman for whom structure and order are all.
Christian Bale was born to play Batman, he is Batman in every sense of the word. Christopher Nolan is an amazing writer, producer and a visionary director. I truly believe that he took the Batman experience to a whole new level, a level of perfection. It's not only an incredible Batman movie, it's an incredible movie on its own. It has anything and everything you'll ever want in an enjoyable movie experience.
The drama between Bruce, Rachel, Dent, Gordon is complex but works. This is a personal drama besides being an action movie and it works well.
I really enjoyed the film but simply felt it a bit shaky at points. I'm not sure whether it is the genre of the film or the quality of it but in my opinion I doubt it will become a classic.
