Joker Made the Movie

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2008)

To start, The Dark Knight definitely lived up to it's hype. Intense would be a word to describe the action in the movie, as well as suspenseful. With every weapon pulled out in the movie, someone dies, unlike most movies where the gun is just put down and the one it is pointed at stays alive. the action and dialogue scenes were equalized to keep the audience entertained as well as informed.
Now, to start with the characters. Not much humor was passed in the movie, not including the Joker. He was the saviour of the movie. If there was no Joker, the movie may have gotten just over 6 stars on my rating. He kept the audience entertained with black humor comedy and most of the action/ killing scenes. Ledger did a better job than Nicholson in my opinion. As for Batman, Christian Bale did a great job of not attracting the movie's attention to himself. For most of the movie, everyone really just wanted to see the Joker. Two Face, the other villain, was just as exciting as Batman.
This movie could have been better if each of the main characters was developed more and not just the Joker. That is why I gave the movie 9 out of 10 stars. The filming was great, the dialouge was great, and the action was great, but the characters weren't developed too well. Definitely see this movie as it will blow you away on the big screen.
