One Word: Epic.

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

I am not a big comic book fan; however, The Dark Knight is unequivocally one of the best movies I have seen in years. For those who have followed Batman over the decades: You will not be failed.
Jonathan Nolan's screenplay is nothing short of a masterpiece, and brother Christopher Nolan's direction is flawless. It is a cinematic tour de force. The blend of drama with intense action will keep you at the edge of your seat while obscure plot twists will keep you guessing and leave you astonished.
Performances by the star-studded cast were thoroughly convincing and brilliant. Heath Ledger's maniacal portrayal of the Joker is legendary; Christian Bale leaves Michael Keaton in the dust in his role as the caped crusader; Aaron Eckhart made me a firm believer in Harvey Dent, and Gary Oldman was very impressive as the steadfast Lieutenant Gordan.
This is a film you will want to see again.
My rating: 10/10 stars.
