Good but certainly not epic!

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2008)

The Dark Knight, seeing all the great comments on IMDb and seeing it knocking 'The Godfather' and the 'The Shawshank Redemption' of the number 1 position I went to this movie with HUGE expectations.
I have to say that I was highly amused with the movie and it was put together excellently! But comparing this to films like the ones I mentioned before I feel this doesn't even belong in the top 50.
I felt Batman was kind of a boring character in this movie he doesn't say much and you don't really feel any connection to his character in my opinion. Now the Joker was pretty funny and well played but his dialog could have been a lot better at times his comments where not as funny as they could have been at certain points in the movie.
My verdict is that this is one of the better if not best action movies I've seen in a long time but it doesn't compare to some of the legends that are in the IMDb top 250! People vote fair this movie is not a 10 star rating don't let the hype cloud your judgment and be honest!
