In Nolan I trusted...

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2008)

Unrelenting, unconventional, mordant and of course most of all, dark.
The Dark Knight is one of the best movies ever made. Simply because it manages to merge multiple genres and succeeds at that. More than enough.
The mere fact that this is being compared with movies such as the Godfather, Heat and The Departed means Nolan did something revolutionary not only to the Batman Franchise, but to the comic-book movie genre.
Christian Bale plays such a heartfelt and humane Bruce Wayne. His Batman is the definitive one.
Ledger's performance is one for the ages. His Joker is a good match for Bale's Batman and Nolan's vision.
Aaron Eckhart delivers with what is perhaps his best performance yet. He was as much a part of this movie as Batman and The Joker.
"Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.." When you revolutionize a genre and with that cinema, a movie becomes a classic. This is a classic.
Time will make that clear.
