Not just a superhero action film,an absolute classic of a film is The Dark Knight

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

I have waited for this film for so long and now I have had the privilege of watching it.Most of this movie came to me as a surprise.The Dark Knight is one of,if not,the best film of the year and probably ever made.It is one of my favorite films.It was more than a action film to me,it was an epic like Heat,The Godfather saga and Scarface among others.Christopher Nolan was brilliant at directing this so in my view,he should be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director as well as the film as a whole being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay as well as the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Christian Bale stars as Batman/Bruce Wayne who proves that he is just as good as he was in Batman Begins,if not better.The cast also includes Gary Oldman(Jim Gordon),Michael Caine(Alfred),Morgan Freeman(Lucius) as well as William Fichtner,Eric Roberts,Aaron Eckhart(Harvey Dent),Maggie Gyllenhaal(Rachel Dawes) and the late,great Heath Ledger as the Joker.
The cast was magnificent but I think it was Heath Ledger who made me feel proud to watch this film.His performance is worthy of an Academy Award win for Best Actor as he gave it his all and more than 100% of an effort for his role as The Joker.We will all miss you,Heath and your character who you made iconic.Rest in Peace.Heath Ledger-1979-2008.
