"The Dark Knight" is a first rate high-octane action film and what I expected from Christopher Nolan

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

"The Dark Knight" is what every action fan is wanting from summer blockbusters, like this one. I have seen "Batman Begins" so when I heard there was a sequel to this movie, I thought for sure it would beat out the previous Batman movies, and it did! Although, when hearing that Heath Ledger would play The Joker, I was optimistic because it wouldn't seem that he could reach the standards as playing The Joker.
After seeing this AWESOME movie and Ledger's portrayal as the Joker made me a believer that he should be getting that Oscar nomination. "The Dark Knight" explodes from the screen with high-powered action, twists and turns, great story, plot, and highly engrossing characters.
This movie is the best movie I have seen this year and maybe potentially all-time. When parents take their kids to see this movie I would suggest that if they are younger and get scared easily I would recommend that they watch the film first, due to some disturbing images and/or violence.
In the end, "The Dark Knight" is a must-see for all action and comic book fans. Although, the death of Heath Ledger was sad because I believed that he could have excelled in any future films. Though, he's not, I say, RIP Heath Ledger.
I hope he gets the Oscar as the Joker and should be on the top for best action villain.
This movie will be your best bet at the theater that is, if you love action films as I do. GO SEE "The Dark Knight" YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!
