A Pinnacle in Film making history

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2018)

Let me get one thing straight, I've never liked Batman. Before Batman Begins, Batman was literally a joke, a meme. But Nolan's Batman Begins came out and crashed theaters everywhere. It became one of the most popular movies of the year and for good reason. Nolan had set a high bar with Batman Begins and anything below that bar with the Dark Knight would be rejected.
And he didn't disappoint.
The Dark Knight is one of the most intriguing movies I've seen to date. I've seen good and bad and I can tell you. The Dark Knight is a true masterpiece. I would've rated this 10 but my philosophy is that every movie can be made better, there is no perfect movie. So I'm not rating the Dark Knight a ten.
But the Dark Knight is one of those few movies which is flat on close to near perfect. It's an intense and thrilling movie that will get you on the edge of your seat in the theaters. Not to mention, the acting is absolutely superb. The late Heath Ledger's performance is to die for in this movie. His portrayal of the Joker remains to date some of the best acting the world has seen and in my opinion the best I've ever seen.
The storyline is gripping and character development is off the roof. The casting is perfect with Bale's batman adding his dark and serious tone to the movie. The Dark Knight is filled with moments you can remember for years on end. There are very few minor problems with the movie itself, but it's all minor compared to the satisfaction you'll receive while watching the Dark Knight. The ending is truly spectacular.
I do have to say, The Dark Knight is a fairly dark movie and many do not appreciate this dark approach that Nolan took, but I have to say. The Dark Knight is probably the second best movie I've seen by far next to Inception.
