Incredibly Mindblowing. The Best Film of 2008!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

The Dark Knight was really worth the wait! I waited...let's see...14 months. Wow, thats a long time. Ever since Batman Begins, and the way it ended with the joker card and Batman saying "I'll look into it." I was like "They have to make a sequel!". And nothing for 2 year...until May 2007, my prayers were answered. My friend told me of something about a new Batman movie in May, I researched, and found the website: (Whysoserious.com). Yes I may sound like a nerd, but I did go on the scavenger hunts looking for the teaser trailers and the posters and photos of the Joker. Then in 2008 with only 7 months to go, hearing all about the production, and Heath Ledger being the Joker, getting so hyped. On January 22, while watching the news, bad news darkens my day. Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008) died of accidental overdose, I did not live for that day, a fantastic actor whose life was cut short sadly.
After all the sadness, July 18 finally came along. I saw the The Dark Knight at Cinemark at 7:45 pm Opening night (I was not lucky enough to get my tickets for Thursday 12:00.
The Dark Knight has to be the most incredible film I have seen this year. I surpasses Batman Begins in every aspect! (Batman Begins is a great film, The Dark Knight is just wayy better) Every little thing about it was fantastic!! The editing, the direction, the cinematography, the score, the effects, the acting. The acting, Heath Ledger put on the best performance I have ever seen put on film. Aaron Eckhart was just as great as Heath was! Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Maggie Gynllenhaal (who was a great replacement) all did fantasitc. I really have to give the standing ovation to Heath Leger, he did the absolute best in this film. Rest in peace Heath, you are missed.
Two warnings about seeing this, It is really long 152 mins (2 1/2 hrs) so don't quibble, noting seems to slow down at all. The other warning is that, parents don't take your children that are younger than 12 years old. The Joker is quite scary, and the way he kills people is very disturbing, how he got the cuts is explained.
The Dark Knight really is the best film of 2008! (Wall-E is equally good, but go see this) You won't wanna miss this one in the theater (or even IMAX) because if you do, you'll be missing out on one of the greats.
10/10
