Excellent movie. But not quite #1!

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2008)

First off, I gave this movie a 10 because my standards for movies aren't high, and this one definitely exceeds. I know it sounds like I'm contradicting myself,(Giving it a 10 and saying it shouldn't be number 1) but in my book, this movie deserves a 10. Anyways, I loved the dark feel of the movie, as many other people have said. Christopher Nolan made Gotham perfectly. Heath Ledger did do an awesome job as the joker, and I feel he actually does deserve an Oscar for his performance. It was gripping, thrilling, and even pretty scary/intense at moments. Christian Bale also did very well as Batman, much better than everyone else who's done Batman in the past. The ending is great, one of the best ending's I've seen in a while. Overall, this movie was written great, and executed perfectly. Movies like this don't come around too often. Excellent, 10/10.
