Dark and Epic, one of the best superhero films ever

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2013)

Truly, an incredible feat. Incredible acting, especially Ledger and Oldman. Ledger's performance is chilling, but legendary. It's a superhero film that is decidedly real, making each development in the plot increasingly dramatic.
The set pieces aren't too big, but do the trick; the finale is a nail-bighter. The score ranges from calming and mysterious to brutal and intense, fitting the dark themes of the film. I think the script was a little weak at some points, and certain moments are confusing, but the gripes are honestly very small. This is such an incredible film, and Nolan is almost masterful. The Dark Knight exhausting, intense, and incredible ride.
