Not the best movie ever, but still a work of art and far from an average superhero movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2018)

This movie, considered by many as the best of all time, got my attention as well. Of course, I previously had expectations that Nolan couldn't possibly ruin this and would offer us a believable and interesting story instead. I was not wrong. The story was deep, with well-developed characters who have multiple dimensions, everyone having their virtues, but also many flaws as well. What raised my grades in this movie, was definitely Heath Ledger's impeccable and unique to such extent that The Joker has been given a whole new definition. It is an unspeakable shame that Ledger is no longer alive, as he would have probably make big time if he had still been. Nevertheless, acting alone cannot save the movie. There was also brilliant cinematography. There were some scenes where it was hard to believe little to no CGI was used during filming. I also regret not seeing this in cinemas because I think it would be one of the best cinematic experiences, and if would feel quite realistic (it felt realistic without it actually). Overall, however, I find the whole story slightly overrated to be positioned as the 4th movie of all time, mainly because there were some plot holes (or at least I missed something) that I couldn't quite explain to myself, and generally I didn't feel as if I was watching the best movie of all time. Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, it is highly recommended, as it's already made history in many ways, and will be talked about many generations later.
