the Dark Knight

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
The Dark Knight is the sequel to very entertaining Batman Begins. The Dark Knight tells the dark and disturbing tale of the rise and fall of the Joker. The story is full of dark and memorable moments that stay with you long after the film is over. The dialogue is fluid and the action is intense. The opening sequence is one of the best opening scenes ever. The ending shows us how evil can win in the end.
The acting is amazing. Heath Ledger delivers his best performance ever. He plays the Joker with such easy and plays the character perfectly. He truly deserved the Oscar. Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman all perform very well.
The pacing is very good. Christopher Nolan perfectly paces his complex and detailed story. The runtime is also very good for such a complex film.
Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes in this film. Some could see this as annoying but Maggie does a good job portraying Rachel.
Pros: Dark and disturbing story, amazing opening sequence, fluid dialogue, intense action, amazing acting, masterful performance by Heath Ledger, perfect pacing, amazing directing by Christopher Nolan, and a good runtime
Cons: Having a replaced actor can be a downside
Overall Rating 9.8
P.S. The Dark Knight is one of the greatest superhero films of all time. I would highly recommend it.
