Yet another amazing comic book movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2008)

Gotham City is starting to become a criminal free city, Batman is looking to turn in the suit for his love life Rachel, who is at the moment with Havey Dent the DA of Gotham. Harvey has put a ton of criminals in bars and the public loves him and looks at him as a hero. That is until the biggest threat Batman has ever faced turns up, The Joker. Lutenient Jim Gordan, Harvey Dent, and Batman have to face the Joker's horrible plans for Gotham city.And that is a very brief outline of the movie!
The movie is 2 hours and 32 min. and not one minute is wasted. The movie started with a bank robbery and an intense one at that the movie throws you into the Jokers twisted mind. Heath Ledger was amazing as the Joker, but thats not the only reason to see this epic movie. Christen Bale, Michale Cane, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman everyone shines in this movie. But Heath is my favorite. He played the Joker disturbing, but so shocking it turns out funny in a good way. The movie is rated Pg-13, but in no way a children's movie. It is intense and kids would probably think its boring and wont understand it.
My favorite thing about The Dark knight other than the amazing cast was the plot. So much was fit into this movie it needs a second viewing. The character development was also amazing. I hated how in Spider-Man 3 that we had to wait till the last 20 min. for Venom, but in this movie we do wait a while for two face , but Aaron Ekhart played Harvey Dent so well that you really forget he is two face. The location of Gotham City is another plus, unlike the original Batman series, the director of this series made it fell like a real city, not Gothic like. I actually forgot I was watching a Batman movie that's how much i got into the movie.The action scenes were amazing and mind blowing,as well i wish i saw it in I-max!!!
That being said, i do have to say toward the end, the last 25 min I fell out of the of plot. I had to leave the theater for a moment, then when i came back I felt diconected from the plot. After I talked about it with my friends and family and thought about it all night I really appreciate it now. I really want to see it again in theaters before DVD.
What turned out to be an Amazing summer for comic book movies, The Dark Knight takes the spot for best movie of the year, beside Wall-E. The movie is so Epic and a gigantic blockbuster you would be crazy to Miss it in theaters. If you hate Batman still give it a shot, if just for Heath's role. The plot is huge and you need to be able to sit and watch the movie so understand it. The Dark Knight is a little short of being a perfect movie. The movie4 needs to be nominated for an Oscar and Heath Ledger needs an supporting role or atlest a dedicatinal Oscar for the best villain role of all time!
