The Godfather of the 21st century!!

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2017)

Christopher Nolan's second batman film is dark, twisted, and surpasses the first film in every aspect. In 2005 Christopher Nolan rebooted the franchise and redeemed the cape crusader by transforming the character into a dark complicated persona. In 2008 The dark knight redefined the superhero genre.
It is very rare to see a comic book movie with a dark tone, the script is full of philosophical musings and realistic themes, unlike many movies such as the lord of the rings or harry potter where it is about hero vs villain or good vs evil, this movie is about how each character deal with their own circumstances, every human is corruptible. Bruce Wayne and "The joker" share one common thing, that they were corrupted when they were young. Harvey Dent for me is the most important character in the film, he was the white knight, the man which did everything batman or Bruce Wayne can never do, and later he was corrupted by the joker, this character presents how good brave characters fall from their peak.
The performances in the movies are so powerful, Christian bale is the best batman and shows how batman is if he existed in the real world, Heath Ledger's electrify performance is monumental and frightening and one of the best performances of all time, Gary Oldman as the good guy is remarkable, Harvey Dent is beautifully played by Aaron Eckhart and the supporting cast Morgan freeman and Michael Caine are amazing in the film.
The editing and the sound mixing are Oscar worthy. Hans Zimmer's score is emotional, dark, powerful and it is extremely significant to the movie. This is Chris Nolan's best movie, the cinematography and the directing are stunning.
After almost ten years The dark knight is still debatable among critics and politicians, the movies presents themes about war on terror, law and order, who is right, who is wrong, is batman a hero?
The Dark Knight is my favorite movie of all time and one of the best movies ever made. 10/10!!
