Not just a "Superhero" type movie...

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2008)

Greetings from Lithuania.
This movie "put a smile on my face!" I just came back from premiere of this movie in our country and i can tell you one thing - this film is a serious stuff.
Forget all "Spider Man" or "Superman" type blockbusters - this movie is serious as it gets! Dark, real, and scary (in different ways) - this movie beats them all! It is a crime movie and a suspense-thriller - not a superhero movie.
Heath Ledger really deserves an Oscar nomination for his Jocker - one of the best villains i have ever saw on a big screen. Watching him on screen i thought - that's what makes performances unforgettable.
Ch. Nolan created a "real" world and a "real" movie about Batman. It's so real that even scares. One of the things i like about this movie is that it has very limited CGI.
"Dark Knight" won't win an Oscar for a best picture of the year, but it's the best action - adventure film of this decade (along with "Bourne Ultimatum").
My hat is off to Christopher Nolan and his brother for creating the essence of a masterpiece.
So, "why so serious?!"
