If you're doubting that TDK will live up to the crazy hype, don't.

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

It's very, very rare that a movie sooooo incredibly hyped up actually meets expectations, and The Dark Knight proved to be a rarity. Masterfully directed, superbly acted (there is no justice in this world if Ledger doesn't posthumously win the Oscar for Best Supporting), beautifully shot, expertly crafted...there's just flat out nothing wrong with The Dark Knight. The film takes the first half to gloriously sink it's claws into you, and the second half holding on until the very last moment. Absolutely brilliant, and 100% deserving of every scrap of praise it receives. As for every single other summer movie that comes out in the future: Take notes. This is how you do it.
