Dark,Complex,Enthralling crime saga!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2016)

In my honest opinion, director Christopher Nolan's greatest achievement would be the revival of one of greatest superheroes of all time!(The last one was Batman and Robin and we all know how that one went!!).With Batman Begins, Nolan paved a solid foundation for the trilogy and he brought out the big guns in the second movie:THE DARK KNIGHT!!. The thing about this movie is that it is not just another superhero movie.It is a dark, complex entertainer spanning various genres of movie industry. Christopher Nolan does a brilliant job as the director, with each frame pulling us closer and closer to the edge of our seats.Cinematographer Wally Pfister has succeeded in bringing a sense of reality to this comic book fantasy.Hans Zimmer as always produced a mesmerizing background score that at times gave me goosebumps!!.Christian Bale is pretty much convincing as batman(Although his sound as batman is irksome at times).Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine,Maggie Gyllenhal,Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart are perfectly cast in their respective roles.But the most groundbreaking performance was delivered by Heath Ledger as 'The Joker'.With every scene more scintillating than the previous,Heath ledger played his heart out in this role!The interrogation scene b\w batman and joker is a cinematic milestone to say the least! Some might say that this movie is way overrated.The truth is..It is not!!!..This is not your garden variety summer blockbuster.With the initial bank heist scene, you'll know that you're in for a ride!.Trust me,The Dark Knight will not disappoint you. With stellar performances,gritty cinematography,mesmerizing score and sure handed direction...The Dark Knight will be hailed as a Classic of modern cinema by the future generations..Absolutely positive about that!!
