the dark knight ---best movie this year!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

The Dark Knight was absolutely exquisite. It was by far the best movie this year! Christian Bale is a natural in the role of the Batman/Bruce Wayne, he is the best Batman yet. Heath Ledger basically dominated every scene that he was in. His voice and mannerisms fit the Joker perfectly. He did a much better job than Jack Nicholson. I like the fact that the Joker is creepy, but can be funny at the same time. Aaron Eckhart did a fairly good job as Two-Face/Harvey Dent, but I think he could have been better. OR perhaps, it's just the fact that Heath Ledger and Christian Bale stole the show. Two-Face's "burnt" half is good, and looks dark -- perfect for this Batman series. It definitely looks better than the purple, plastic Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face. Rachel Dawes -- I don't think Maggie gyllenhaal did a great job, I believe that she was fairly mediocre, but better than Katie Holmes. The story line was totally fantastic, and I applaud Christopher Nolan for his fine directing and writing!
