One of the greatest films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2009)

This is an amazing film that was definitely one of the best ever. Very complex but not too much for the watcher to not understand or be lost and lose interest in the film. There are many climaxes, great action scenes, and several plot twists and a good moral that everyone can live by. Heath Ledger (who is one of the best actors who ever lived) created the darkest most psychotic man in movie history and makes who feel an emotion for The Joker (in this case it is hatred). Aaron Eckhart also gives a true and sadistic performance. Great performances also come from Maggie Gylenhaal, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, and Christian Bale (who continues to play an amazing Batman. I am a little shocked at the PG-13 rating because of the level of sadism in here and The Joker (and I am 15 years old) is very scary and I could barely sleep. The only reason I give it a 9 is because the voice of Batman grows on you and becomes annoying after an hour or so. Great writing, directing, cinematography, art direction, visual effects, music, and it is the biggest shock how The Reader (which is only decent in my opinion) got nominated for Best Picture instead of this. The Dark Knight was definitely snubbed big time and it is unfair that it was not a Best Picture Nominee. Overall, it is amazing and you should watch it.
