The Best Batman Movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

I saw this film last night (opening day) and I stood in line for an hour to get a ticket and a half hour to get into the theatre and I was not sorry about the wait. The Dark Knight is amazingly written, produced, and acted. I don't know if I agree with the rumor that Heath Ledger could be up for an Oscar nomination because of his creepy and awesome performance as The Joker, but he is definitely great as the psychotic clown. Aaron Eckhart is also a scene stealer as tough and fearless District Attorney, Harvey Dent. The effects are what make this movie. It is truly eye-opening material. The story holds you the entire time with twist after twist. The film is a little too long in my opinion, but it still held my attention. The Dark Knight is worth the wait and is worth seeing. I predict definite Oscar nominations for Effects, Score, Make-up, Editing, and Cinematography for this thrill ride into Gotham City that no other Batman film has matched.
