The "knight" is darkest before the dawn

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

Let me start with this statement: This is the greatest comic/superhero movie adaption ever to be achieved to date. I have been keeping up with every update on this film since is saw "Batman Begins". Let me tell you that this film was everything that I could have hope for.
"Begins" gave audiences a relatible Batman(Bruce Wayne)that everybody could understood and could cheer for. We also saw an interesting and realistic take on Gotham City and characters such as James Gordon, Alferd Pennyworth and Lucios Fox. We got to know these characters and settings to the point were audiences wanted to see more.
Director Christopher Nolan and his crew gave audiences and fans more than an excellent film but literally quite a masterpiece. "The Dark Knight" ranks with sequels such as "The Godfather: Part 2" and "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". This film contains intelligence and genus in all directions. Christorpher Nolan was born to created these two batman films; Christan Bale once again plays Batman like he actually is Bruce Wayne; but the most talked about and hyped up character of this film is of course The Joker. The late Health Leger give us a funny, evil and psychotic Joker that no one has ever scene before. Leger's performance is brilliantly played and is very Oscar worthy. Through out my viewing of this show, i was anticipating every scene that included the Joker. Health Ledger and The Joker mixed together in this film like Anthoney Hopkins and Hanibal Lector did; his performance was humorous but creepy at the same time.
The introduction of Harvey Dent(played by Aaron Echart) in this film was interesting. It shows how Dent is driven by love and compassion for helping people and how he is driven to the point were he snaps and become sometime completely different. A very pleasing performance done by Aaron Echart is believable in a every aspect.
"The Dark Knight" proves that even a Batman movie can break box office records and go down in cinematic history. I give Cristopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" a solid 10/10
