A captivating, sophisticated, and thrilling masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2011)

Batman Begins was a brilliant and nostalgic version of Batman that director Christopher Nolan brought us. The movie though was underrated by the Academy...So, my expectations for The Dark Knight were high. In the end, I wasn't disappointed...
The Dark Knight was a narrow masterpiece that missed no ingredients and exceeded my expectations. The terrible death occurrence of the notable star Heath Ledger though, was shocking. He was perfect as the Joker, sometimes the show-stealer. The rest of the cast was also brilliant like Bale and Freeman.
Screenplay, was notably terrific (hitting all the right notes). Nolan's growing and improved direction was Oscar-worthy, sometimes even better. His direction was long ignored by the inclusive Academy. Now, was the time for that to change...
Yet, it only went on to win 2 Oscars, while it deserved so much more! Slumdog didn't deserve much...Overall, I am breathless and out of words for the film. Look out for Ledgers amazing performance and Nolan's outstanding direction. A rich and dark film that succeeds as a crime-saga, as well as a great film!
