Disregard the fact it's somewhat overrated (to an extent), and you've got yourself a fantastic film with both a brilliant protagonist and a terrific - very menacing - villain

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2019)

The Dark Knight is about as big a movie you'll get. Let's flash back to 2008 for a second; you're telling me it made over a BILLION as far back as then? Before all that Avatar, 2.7 billion crap? I know there are other movies from beforehand that made this amount of money -- and perhaps a lot more -- but are they the same in regards to quality? No. they're not. The Dark Knight is regarded by many as one of the greatest movies of all time. I can kind of agree with this and I definitely understand why somebody would think this. In terms of perfection, however, that's one thing it is not. I believe -- and I know people out there will agree -- that there truly only is one perfect Batman movie, and that's the first instalment in this trilogy, Batman Begins. This movie is fantastic though, and yes, truly we get one of the finest and most astounding acting performances we've seen on the big screen - Heath Ledger's Joker. Is he my favourite portrayal of the character? I think he possibly could be, movie wise. Overall, I'm certain in saying the performance goes to Mark Hamill. But this is a massively noteworthy and genius performance. I just wish Heath Ledger were alive to see it and to see how much fame and love and admiration he got for this stunning portrayal of one of the best antagonists we've seen or known. Christian Bale is fantastic yet again, too. That Batman voice is awful, though. Still awful. But other than that, great acting. He's a good Batman and a brilliant Bruce Wayne if you ask me. The Dark Knight definitely gets a solid 8, perhaps 8.1./10 from me for its fine acting, direction, cinematography, choreography and for the its chemistry between actors/characters and the dialogue -- specifically between The Joker and The Caped Crusader. An amazing film overall.
