A Masterpiece!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2008)

One of the greatest heroes of our time...comes blasting onto the silver screen yet again. The Dark Knight is one of the best movies I have ever seen and should be considered to win Best Picture along with Best Supporting Actor, Heath Ledger. Not only does Ledger give a performance so full of life and harbor a devilish portrayal of the prince of crime but he helps develop the Dark Knight into a movie so different from any superhero movie that has ever been made. Along with Ledger is Christian Bale who really gives an excellent portrayal of a "Dark Knight" that portrays a fearsome vigilante who really gets into the part as Batman. A Batman so easily angered and easily manipulated that puts everything he believes in and blames it upon himself to save the city he loves so much. This is NOT a superhero movie it is a Masterpiece considered as Nolans crowning achievement as well as Ledgers. This movie is a triumph and the Best movie that has hit theaters in years. This movie changes the aspect of many things on different levels. No longer will the words "Why so serious?" be just words but words that come out of a movie so powerful that is sure to change the aspect on Bat-haters and superhero movie dislikers. This movie is a crowning achievement for Warner Bros! In the biggest economic hardship of our time, The DARK KNIGHT managed to rise up from economic degradation and explode in Box Office Sales. This movie ran from the very bottom and climbed a latter shoving every movie in its path to get to the second step below Titanic. It managed to almost win but certainly will at the Academy Awards.
