Best Superhero Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2008)

Let me start off by saying this movie was nothing short of amazing best superhero movie ever. However, this movie is not and never will be worthy of being number one on that list. Top 25? Definitely. Top 10? Pushing it but i would say so. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was without a doubt Oscar worthy, one of if not the best villain and superhero movie performances, and a straight up amazing acting job. Heath Ledger was captivating throughout the entire movie, in all honesty i didn't really care if batman wasn't in the movie or not as long as the Joker was. But don't get me wrong everybody else in the movie was great Bale (best batman ever) Freeman and Caine (two of the best of all time) and Eckhart ( second best in the film) and Gyllenhall was terrible. The action sequences were perfect as well and not over done at all. The overall theme or idea of the film being anarchy and revenge i definitely enjoyed, reminded me a lot of V for Vendetta. There were few problems with the dark knight but if u have one problem to me your not the best. It was a little dragged out, the scarecrow scene was unnecessary. Maggie Gyllenhall was awful, they're 0 for 2 casting that role and finally it didn't have that surprise ending that people including me love, thats why fight club, the prestige, memento, the usual suspects are all so great. So all in all fantastic movie top 10 worthy just not number one.
