Dawn of the Dark Knight.

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

The dawn has come to a dark age of movie going. This year has, in my opinion, been disappointing. Disappointing, that is, until now. With an outstanding cast, director, cinematic score, and wonderfully brilliant cinematography, the Dark Knight shows us what Hollywood is capable of if they actually give a darn.
This film flat out deserves to win Oscars for best picture and best actor (Heath Ledger) as well as best cinematography. I had lamented Indiana Jones 4 earlier this year, but now i could care less as a film has arrived that blew all previous films this year away in a single night.
This film had myself and well over 300 other glued to our seats and so intent on the film that we couldn't take our eyes off the screen. Cheers and applause accompanied several scenes of the joker and batman and some people were even brought to tears, driving home how much of an emotional and intense film this was.
If you have seen the previous film, Batman Begins, and are waiting on the reviews for this one to go see it, you won't be sorry, except perhaps that you did not see it opening night. It is however with one sad realization that i left the theater. Heath Ledger, the actor portraying the frighteningly chilling villain, Joker, has passed away and will be unable to receive his Oscar, which I have little to no doubt he will win.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of Batman: The Dark Knight for bringing us this years blockbuster and for revitalizing a series destroyed by Cloony and Arnold.
