A Short Review

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2008)

The Dark Knight presents a riveting and enthralling film-going experience that has topped any previous super hero films of any era. This ground-breaking masterpiece slices any reputation of 'another poor batman film' it destroys any stigma from the last batman disasters like Tim Burtons catastrophe. It reinvents, revitalises and reinvigorates the superhero genre.
The Gothic themes continue from the last film, and are used to fantastic proportions in illustrating a crime ridden evil society that the joker has plagued Gotham with. the Joker played magnificently by heath ledger brings a further element of fear and a sinister nature to the film.
Plot twists and turns, developments of characters and their emotions (particularly Harvey Dent's), mind blowing special effects, an enthralling story and Heath Ledger's portrayal of the The menacing joker, ensures that this film excels beyond any other superhero movie made before or since. this is proved by knocking out spider man 3's box office record in the opening weekend.
You'd have to be a joker to miss it!
