Definitely Worth #1 Position

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2010)

The film that we've all waited for. The Dark Knight. This film stars Christian Bale, and directed by Christopher Nolan. I'm not a big fan of Bale's work, but this film, I must make an exception. The plot was fantastic, and all the film aspects were present. Romance, action, mystery, thriller, drama, etc. The film starts right where Batman Begins(2005) ends. Batman Begins ends with Gary Oldman's character finding a Joker card, giving us the idea of the joker in this film. However, this film begins with Batman arresting the Scarecrow, before we see the Joker, just to tie up loose ends.
This, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, were Heath Ledger's last films, before his death. Of course, we must congratulate him for doing such a fantastic job in his role as the Joker, but also must realize that is was Christopher and Jonathan Nolan that wrote his part. Heath was given the lines, and it was up to him to spruce it up, Joker-style. He did a fine job of doing that, and was quickly the general public's favourite character in this film. Out of pure respect or true acting, I do not know, but I believe that one thing was understood. He will be remembered as the mad Joker, forever.
The Joker sets up a series of traps, and dangerous situations in which, without the help of Batman, would literally send Gotham city into a mad panic, whether it's blowing up boats, or blowing up hospitals. This film was meant to be at that #1 spot. The Dark Knight is a great film, and a must-see for all movie lovers.
Also, one more thing I noticed. How is Morgan Freeman fine with making Batman, essentially, a "tank-like" Bat mobile, and not fine with the cell phone tracking device? Either than this, one of the best superhero films of all time.
