Best movie I have ever seen...and I watch A LOT of movies

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2011)

I have never seen a perfect movie, and did not know there could be such a thing. But this is it. I have always been a Batman fan. But this was so much more than a comic book movie. It was an epic. Even if had nothing to do with the character we know and love, it would still have an excellent story. It's suspenseful, funny, terrifying, heartwarming. It literally has everything you could want from a movie. And it seems REAL. The Batmobile didn't look like a bat, it looked like a tank, able to withstand anything. Plus it held the Batpod. How awesome was that? And the Joker! Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace, did absolutely some of the best acting I have ever, ever seen. He WAS the Joker. Not some cheesy bad guy. He was a REAL psychopath. He was both hilarious and terrifying. And his objective was to cause chaos. Not greed. Just to wreak havoc on Gotham City, and especially on Batman. And the whole story is phenomenal. It's over two and a half hours long, yet it doesn't seem like it at all. You never want it to end. It starts with a bang and never slows down. And the armored car chase? Easily the best car chase ever put on film. I watched this movie three times in the theater. I've never done that. And I LOVE movies. Great story, great REAL effects (the only CGI in the entire movie was Two-Face, and I'm glad Christopher Nolan did that right and not Like Tommy Lee Jones), and the acting - top notch across the board. I can't wait to see how how Nolan tops this, because you know he will this. I can't believe it didn't even get a nod for best picture. A shame. At least Ledger won. He deserved every bit of the hype. He and Nolan both went above and beyond all expectations.
