Film of 2008

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2008)

I was more excited to see the Dark Knight than any other film I can remember. Batman Begins was okay, the Prestige was one of my favorites, and the Dark Knight looked amazing on the trailers. And it didn't disappoint. Ledger's performance makes the movie. But I didn't have to tell you that, you already knew--isn't that what the hype's all about? Well, believe the hype. It seems like every scene that pops up in TDK is your favorite. Joker is as hilarious as he is psychopathic. Every line by him is a memorable one. Besides the Joker, Two-Face is also a very memorable villain in the movie. Batman (Bale) is entertaining, but paper thin almost in TDK. In Begins, you see him portrayed perfectly. But in TDK, most camera time is focused on Joker or Bruce Wayne's life, not Batman's. Still, Bale's performance is okay and doesn't distract from the movie. Every scene is perfect. If you haven't seen it once I suggest you do. And its even better the second time.
