My first review & rating goes to my favorite movie yet (And I think that is going to be really hard to surpass)

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2015)

"The Dark Knight" clearly changed the way we look the blockbuster movies. This movie changed the superhero genre forever. So the rest of the genres. We can find influences in the most recent (and best) James Bond by Daniel Craig and an increasing number of outings from several franchises that include grounded themes, complex plots and a progressive retrospection about the world we live in these days, how we arrived here and where could we go.
Right now it's very strange to see a fantasy movie or an action movie full of auto-parody which tries to take things hard without considering itself a parody (for example, a movie like "True Lies", "Air Force One" or the latest Brosnan Bond's: "Die Another Day" could be so embarrassing after 9-11 and even more in these problematic times). Even when we are looking for escapism and top notch entertainment (like Mission: Impossible franchise), that movies must include elements from the real world, dangerous connections rather than a crazy man who wants to rule the world or destroy it (look at "Rogue Nation" or both "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall", an example of a fine action movie done with the right characters and clear & present menaces that you could actually believe). Times have changed. And for better. Now we can look at a movie or a TV show and believe their stories, feel worried about the characters at the same time we love to be thrilled by the twisty or engaging plot.
And for me, without "The Dark Knight", that couldn't be possible. Not at least in the way every big movie is presented right now. That grittiness, that darkness, that fear and reality mixed with action, comic book suspense and surprises every-wear. This movie changed the cinema. This movie had it all and stills having it all. It's a eternal classic. A modern masterpiece that sets the bar at the highest and beyond.
I could talk about the direction, music, performances, the unstoppable Heath Ledger, that insane script... But nearly 5,000 people wrote about that before me. And that's a proof of something big, unique and timeless. I don't care if it didn't won the Best Picture Oscar. I don't care if it's not the number 3, 2 or 1 in the spot. It's a great movie by a great legacy of itself. A legacy that was so eventful, so impactive and came so surprising like the shocking and unforgettable Joker at every attack of his. For me, a cinema lover from Spain, "The Dark Knight" is the perfect movie. My perfect movie, my favorite one. Period.
