The Dark Knight, as many have said, is so much more than a comic book movie. It is a crime saga, and a brilliant piece of film-making.

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

Calling 'The Dark Knight' a comic book movie or a summer movie is insulting. It is a crime saga, it is brilliant, it contains one of the best villain performances ever in a movie (yes, Mr. Ledger really is that good), and overall it shows what happens when a bunch of dedicated film makers come together and make a film.
Every other summer movie that comes out/came out in 2008 is/was crap compared to this. It was funny to me that they were showing a preview for the next Mummy movie...it seems so ridiculous that two such movies could exist in the same world.
I don't mean to use this review to bash on other movies, but it really delightful to see such an amazing movie come out of Hollywood. On the other side of the coin, it is annoying that other films' makers just don't care as much.
Christopher Nolan is a genius, every actor in this movie ranges from good to astounding, every explosion looks real, action shots are stunning, and as I have already said, The Joker is breathtaking.
10/10, this movie is a crime masterpiece, the best comic book movie ever made, and one of the best films to ever have come out during the months of May-August.
