Beautiful! Compelling! Perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2017)

One of the greatest DC superhero films ever produced if not THE greatest, "The Dark Knight" is the sequel to Batman Begins with many returning cast members, such as, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman, with a new yet utterly recognisable villain entering the stage; Heath Ledger playing the Joker, giving an absolutely amazing performance as a crazed psychopath. Moral issues are tackled with great cinematography and beautifully performed parts. If an issue was to be addressed, it would be Christian Bale's voice as Batman. Although it can be overlooked due to the minor issue it plays in such a big picture, it is frustrating to hear his deep and croaky voice. Take a Strepsil! "The Dark Knight" somehow surpasses "Batman Begins" and there is next-to-nothing to flaw this film with an exceptional performance from Heath Ledger, making him the most incredible villain to date.
