Comic book movie we deserve

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2019)

First and foremost, I would like to say that I'm a big fan of Nolan's projects, all of them. Also would like to say that he is in my opinion the most demanded director in Hollywood today. I emphasise the word project, because the scale of the Christopher Nolan's films just simply can't be called a movie and "The Dark Knight" is another demonstration of his calibre. I have to say that I'm a big Batman and DC Universe fan, but I've never anticipated that movies based on comic books can be this good. Although Tim Burton's Batman was relatively good, but the last two with Val Kilmer , Clooney and Schwarzenegger in them, in my most humble opinion were a total fiasco and the end of batman franchise for sometime. Along came Nolan with his new vision for the Caped Crusader, and he did not disappoint. The first one, "Batman Begins" was very good, it had great actors, a lot of action, it was the Batman I was waiting for, but "The Dark Knight" takes it to a whole new level of filmmaking and acting excellence. Since Jack Nicholson was so good in portraying the Joker in Burton's Batman, I think everyone had the right to be sceptical about Ledger being the Joker and I bet no one expected that he would be this brilliant. He showed us the very cunning, smart, dark and most of all the genuine villain that we haven't seen in a while. Christian Bale was as usual great, but he was only costarring Ledger. The original score was pure masterpiece, didn't expect any less of Hans Zimmer. The action sequence so well arranged, the screenplay from the Nolan brothers was exquisite and well put, the dialogues were smart and breathtaking that you would remember some of the lines for the rest of your life. That is how good the film was. It just simply had everything you need in a great film, the action, the drama, the love story and of course great acting. To sum up everything that written above, I would like to thank Mr. Nolan for the unforgettable ride on his Dark Knight journey which sadly came to an end. Although, it is known that Christopher Nolan is helping in production of Batman vs. Superman and the upcoming Justitice League franchise, frankly I'm guessing it is for increasing box office purposes only. Batman and Joker will never be the same again.
