One of the best movies ever Created!

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2012)

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!! This movie was an absolute masterpiece in every sense of the word. It was thrilling, entertaining, frightening, deep and meaningful. I absolutely adored every second of this Phenomenal ride. Not only is this the best superhero movie ever made but it is one of the best movies ever made period. I couldn't even begin to describe how this movie changed my life and the way that I see the art of cinema. This is a sequel that proves just how necessary sequels are and that they can be superior to the original. Batman Begins is a masterpiece but The Dark Knight grabs the audience by the throat and forces them into submission in a way that no movie ever has. This is not a movie that one merely likes or even loves. This is a movie that burns into your subconscious for months on end after your have seen it. It is easily the most memorable movie that I have ever seen. I firmly believe that Batman is the most complex hero ever made so when I say that This movie reaches depths never seen in a Batman movie that is no understatement or lack of appreciation of the previous Batman titles. Christopher Nolan outdoes himself with this movie. His directing skills are in full form and so is the cinematography and the art direction. Nolan made a great decision to shoot this movie in Imax. The scene when Batman goes to get lau out of Hong Kong is a magnificent treat to both the ears and eyes. All of the action scenes are executed with great effiency and finesse. Some of the most intense and thrilling action scenes that I have ever seen in a movie to date. The Batpod is one of the coolest looking vehicles that I have witnessed in my life. The way it manuvers is Badass and the scene when it flips the truck over is simply a stroke of genius on the part of Chris Nolan. This scene perfectly captures the violent tension between the protagonist and the antagonist of the picture. This movie is about so much more than cool explosions and Batman versus The Joker. Its about how much Batman and Joker represent what goes on in our society and the world. Joker is the greatest nemesis of the bat for a reason. Not because clowns and Bats have anything to do with each other but because they are unique polar opposites and represent different aspects of the human condition. The Joker is a happy clown who is humoresss and carefree. He seems to be really innocent and angelic. He is too happy and that is what makes him creepy. He is hiding the madness, sadism, disgust of humanity underneath that facade. Thats the best way for pure chaotic evil to thrive. Everyone considers him to be a Joke until he strikes. This is what makes the Joker so lethal. He takes innocence in its purest form and turns it into a nightmare. The Joker dominates this entire movie thanks to the late Heath Ledger's Oscar Winning mesmorizing and staggeringly complex performance as The Joker. Heath Ledger gives the best villain to a movie that I have ever seen in my life. He is the best actor in the movie. He doesn't spill any blood and yet commands terror with everyline that comes out of his mouth. Its unbelievably sad that we lost such a great actor. This is a once in a lifetime performance. Every scene that he is in is cinematic gold. Batman always stays in the shadows and is a torchered and always reflects on his actions. Christian Bale does an excellent job of being both Batman and the billonaire Bruce Wayne. He is dressed as an evil demon in order to act like a hero. Its the best way for justice to thrive in the city. He takes a nightmare in its purest form and turns into something heroic. Thats why The Bat symbol is one of the most inspiring symbols of all time. It makes you believe that one person can really make a difference in the world. The supprting cast is amazing as well. Maggie Gyllenhaal is great as Rachel Dawess. Morgan freeman is terrific as Lucius Fox. Michael Caine is the perfect Alfred. Gary Oldman deserved an Oscar for his brilliant performance as Comissonor Gordon. That leads me to Harvey Dent/Two-face played by Aaron Eckhart. Both Ledger and Eckhart deserved academy awards for playing such deep and profound characters. Eckhart's take was tragic and nothing short of unforgettable. He was the heart of the film and should be studied as a reference for future movies featuring the character. Hanz Simmer's score was sheer perfection especially during Two face and Joker scenes. I walked into this movie with insanely high expectations and had all of them meet or exceeded. I have never seen anything quiet like this movie in my entire life. I left the theater exhausted and I have never fully recovered from how amazing this film was. It is Platinum and a one of kind Jewel that will never be made again. I love this movie and I will always love this movie for as long as I shall live.
