An amazing Film

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2016)

This has to be one of the best films ever produced. The acting is top notch, the story is addicting, and some of the best lines on screen. Not to forget Heath Ledgers sadistic take on The Joker. Nolan delivers his vision of Batman full force in The Dark Knight.
Everything from the visual style, to the lack of CGI, to the grim mood set in every single scene. This movie has tone pouring out of it's ears. The bat pod sequence in the underpass has to be some of the best sound design I've ever heard. Bale really goes all in as Batman too, delivering on several stunts and body work (ie high ledges without green screen) The score by Hans Zimmer is also very enthralling, building the excitement with every heart pounding moment. The Joker's theme is subtle but amazing, some of the best character driven work in awhile. Not to mention I love crime thrilllers, and this film feels much more like a dark crime thriller than a superhero movie. Batman is set in reality and really delivers. Do yourself a favor, buy this movie on Blu Ray and enjoy Batman without all the bells and whistles of modern takes.
