BEST superhero film ever made? VERY likely.

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2008)

The Dark Knight, superb in every aspect, surpassing its predecessor; Batman Begins in every way possible.
Pulling in the audience with an excellent cast, starting with Christian Bale; as the charismatic Bruce Wayne. His performance in this film was more deep than that of Begins, and Bale really delves into the character, distinguishing his separate personalities and the troubles that come with it.
Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Maggie Glyllenhal and Morgan Freeman work together to provide a very solid foundation for the true star of the show; Heath Legder.
Ledger ends his career(sadly) with a blast out performance as the joker, a psychotic, evil and 'smart' Batman nemesis. A truly memorable job, he steals every scene he's in, leaving the audience stunned, amazed, frightened, so captivating that he seems to be a constant presence within the film, as we are still thinking of him even after he has left the screen.
TDK's soundtrack is also to be commended. Subtle enough to not dominate the film, yet powerful enough to leave a lasting impression on the audience and also to complement all characters and settings, further enhancing the dark mood and atmosphere of Gotham City and its inhabitants.
Finally, the real hero of The Dark Knight, Chris Nolan must be mentioned. From all his films, especially Momento, he has proved to be an exceptional director. He shows his skills once again, nailing Batman's theme and atmosphere with his perfect direction. Combining the well-done script and cinematography, he creates a work of art, a masterpiece.
10/10. The Dark Knight is flawless in every way, creating the very possible, best superhero film of all time. It may be a batman movie, but yet it is so much more than that. Multiple viewings highly recommended, as it is packed with so many things that one cannot fully appreciate them all without seeing it more than once.
