Fantastic and Beautifully Done Film...and the fact the Academy did not acknowledged it just proves that the Oscars have absolutely no taste.

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2009)

I particularly loved this film above all the other Batman films, because this one showed different facets of the personalities of all the characters and did not just center around Batman. Heath Ledger, the beautifully talented late great Heath was the brightest star of that film, stealing the show and came across as the perfect overly insane, psychopathic killer in that film, complete with the crazy makeup and the attitude. Christian Bale was fantastic as Batman, with his stoicism being the polar opposite of the Joker. My only criticism is that I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal seemed a bit out of place and her acting was a bit bland. But all in all, The Dark Knight is an excellently done version of Batman that cannot be topped, and the fact that the Oscars did not nominate it just proved my theory that the Oscars have absolutely no taste, but The Dark Knight is an excellent movie and doesn't need a little gold man as acknowledgment. It stands well on its own.
