Wild Times

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2008)

There are many movies that do not live up to the hype of themselves, but The Dark Knight definitely did. It was full of entertainment and non-stop action. The thing that made this comic movie better than all the others was the extraordinary acting that took place in the movie. It goes without saying that Ledger gave a performance of a lifetime as The Joker and he truly made the role come to life. Then with actors like Bale and Eckhart, it was an amazing cast and that is why the film was so successful. All of these movies have great special effects and action scenes but the acting made it stand above the others.
I should say that I think this is not one of the best movies of all time. It is just a great entertaining movie and that was it's sole purpose. I think we can all agree that there is not much meaning behind the Batman movies besides just trying to deliver a good story line and some great action scenes. And it definitely delivered in both of those areas.
Overall this was hands down the best comic movie ever made and cannot wait for the sequel.
