Greatest Comic Book Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2008)

The Dark Knight is on a whole other level...Its more of a Crime style movie than comic book. Much darker with the added cast member, The late, Heath Ledger portraying The Joker. The beginning goes by a lil quick but for good reason. Batmans new costume and Batpod adds more to the action. We see a more mobile Batman than its Rubber constricted Batman Begins costume. Harvey Dent(Aaron Eckhart) does a great job but seems corny at certain scenes. Eventually we see Eckharts great acting skills towards the end. Gary Oldman does an amazing job as does Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. Finally there is a Rachel Dawes(Maggie Gyllenhaal) worth watching. But even though Christian Bale does a superb job as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Heath Ledgers Joker steals the show. He does get over the top screen time like Nicholsons Joker and it works better and with how terrifying he is in this movie...Im glad we didn't see so much screen time(scratch that...every scene he was in left me smiled, amazed and terrified) Saying he deserves an Oscar isn't a far fetch thing. I may seem over praising but I was honestly skeptical on the hype for this...But for all the huge Batman fans that enjoyed Batman Begins and yet wanted more...You get your wish...This is brilliant...I wont say its a "masterpiece" because thats an overplayed word...seems like everything is a masterpiece...This is just plain brilliant and one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. Aw heck...Its a masterpiece ;)
