Beyond comic book movies and other Hollywood classics alike

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2009)

Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight will indeed be one of Hollywoods finest pictures to be ever produced. The technical details such as the direction, screenplay have introduced a whole new generation of flimaking, yes this is the generation of Imax. This is the only movie in history that has directed certain scenes only for the imax viewers.
Another Oscar nomination part would be the script. Lines said by the characters particularly the joker have dislodge that are as energetic of the action scenes. Jokers duologue's are poetic. Disturbing yes but that is what impresses the viewer about the joker character. It brings tension to the plot as you will get to know how horrifying joker really is.
Acting has never been this good in a Batman movie as compared to this movie. Christian Bale, Micheal Cane,Gary Oldman all surprise their roles as Batman, Alfred, and Commisner Gorden. The new actors and characters are Maggie Gynhall who replaces Katie Holmes for the role of Rachel Daws,Aaron Eckhart who is playing Harvey Dent,and of course Heth Ledger as in now his memorable role the Joker. All actors really go in depth with their characters and make you feel for them whether you love or hate them.
Christian Bale is as i said before if you read my review of Batman Begins, the best Batman actor to have ever existed. Bale maintains the same energy from Begins with the character with a new suit and the Bat pod. My opinion to both is the bat-pod is great,fast,and thrilling just like the tumbler. The new suit allows Batman to be very flexible and can finally turn his head. I do like the new suit but however it does look Iron manish and makes him look like a machine. Still my favorite Batman movie costume is the one from Begins. What I would've preferred if they would have the begins costume but use the new developed cowl so his head could turn without having to go all looking robot.
Despite of Bale maintaining an action packed and dark version of Bruce and Batman, the movie's star is Ledgers joker. Heth Ledger has given in my opinion the greatest performance in the history of Hollywood. I'v seen movies like godfather and all other Oscar performances but this has to be the best. Scene after scene the joker is,psychotic,deadly. No other villain ever has been equally evil as this joker. Jack Nicolsin you have been owned sorry.
Other performances like Harvey dent Gordon and Rachel Dawes were very good.
The soundtrack is awesome, download all the trackes, and listen in particular the track called Why so serious? its based from the joker and its as creepy as joker himself.
Now its on DVD and if you are the very few who have not seen this movie please rent o buy it. You'll be doing yourself a favor. If your not a Batman fan then watch it for Heth.
RIP Heth Ledger, you will always be remembered.
