The raindrop in the sunniest day

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2014)

Masterpiece. There's no doubt. But answering to the comments about its perfection, I have to say, as a comic fan, that its fails cannot be ignored. And if we talk about perfection and fails, the main theme is obviously the Joker. Undoubtedly, a perfect performance by Heath Ledger, rest in peace, but also a great but unfaithful reinvention of Joker's physical appearance by Nolan (read "The Killing Joke" by Alan Moore). The makeup, the scars, the hair, the pose... and yet, a great character, resulting in a brilliant script which turns even comical in a psychotic way. The "funny chaos" created by the Joker, simply awesome. And so is the photography, and the cast, and the soundtrack... everything. And that makes it the best superhero movie ever, beating Watchmen and Batman Begins as the main competitors. Finally, I have to say that I'm happy to see such a great (and dark) ending for such a great film, in which Batman finally becomes, as said by James Gordon, a Dark Knight. To sum up, dark, comical, psycothic, brilliant. Perfect? Judge by yourselves.
