The Only Movie Worth The Ratings

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2019)

I'll begin my review by accepting the fact that I am a big fan of Batman; the guy's my favorite superhero of all time. Even though, I did not like the old Batman movies from the 90's (maybe because I watched those in the 2010's). I did not have any expectations when I sat down to watch this movie. Batman begins was my favorite Batman movie, until I came across this masterpiece.
First, the characters. Christian Bale killed it as the caped crusader, just like the first movie. I cannot imagine anyone else in the role. He looks like he was born to play Bruce Wayne. The acting, dialogue delivery, everything was perfect about him, almost. 9/10.
Heath Ledger as Joker was marvelous. Its a shame he died after making this movie, but he left a Joker legacy unlike any other super villain in the history of superhero movies. Heath Ledger didn't just act like the joker; he was the joker. Bloody Excellent. 10/10
Aaron was great as Harvey Dent. Just like the above two, I cannot imagine anyone else who would fit the role so perfectly. His acting was on point and he timed his dialogues with his body language with perfection. 9/10.
Other supporting cast such as Caine, Maggie, Gary and Freeman helped an already good cast look great. Each of them were very invested in their roles and made the movie pop out.
The story, direction and action scenes were perfect. Mr. Nolan is already my favorite Hollywood director by a long shot, and he further enhanced his credentials as the biggest gem in Hollywood direction by delivering upon the expectations of hardcore Batman fans. (Which I am not)
Overall, one of the rare few movies that has it all: acting, direction, cinematography, soundtrack, story, visuals, characters and action. A truly perfect movie in every bloody sense!
