I am sure that "The Dark Knight" would be one of the most thrilling experiences for almost everyone out there except Batman. He had everything.. We saw how he acquired his swift moves in "Batman Begins", he got Batmobile and now he has introduced his Batpod as well. With ever reliable "Alfred Pennyworth" and techwiz "Lucius Fox" on his side he just cannot go wrong, at least we thought like that and batman must have hoped the same.
But one man had different plans. His plan was to have no plans at all. No plans and no rules.. He just wanted to increase the criminal status of Gotham city and make it darker by executing some of his cute little... did I say plans? But the real beauty of the film is when the war between the good and the evil reaches another level. The joker starts questioning Batman's ethics and his existence itself and that puts him in a deep mental dilemma.
The action was superb, no overdose of CGI, you just cannot ask for more in the acting section, great score. But really.. this film stands out for two reasons. Christopher Nolan's incredible ability to get into each of the character's mind and present each and every minute issues that are going through their mind. We saw that in insomnia, in Memento. He is able to do the same with a comic character here. Thats just unbelievable. The other factor is of course Heath Ledger. But as far as I can see there is no ledger in this film. I can see only THE JOKER !!!!
