A true masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2009)

To be honest The Dark Knight is the best movie that I have seen from a very long period of time. It has everything needed to be classified as one of the all-time great films. To start with the performance of all the actors is just outstanding Christian Bale is one of the most gifted people in Hollywood anyway, but here Heath Ledger can be categorized only as pure genius. His role is unforgettable, when you see that genuine madness in his eyes, you are not able to stop watching till the end. The story is very realistic, well as far as the story made up for a batman movie can be, but still. One thing that annoys me is that modern movies like this and many others remain neglected, because of all the old masterpieces. I am not saying that they are bad, I just want to say that today even very rarely this kind of films still appear out of the blue and we should not think that they are worse than old ones. The Dark Knight is not just worth watching it must be watched and you will see that nowadays the reason we don't appreciate this and many others like it is not because they cannot match something that has started a gender or it was the first, but because they cannot match our unrealistically high standards.
