I Just Want My Phone Call

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2008)

After I saw Batman Begins, I became so obsess with movie. Batman Begins was my favorite batman movie, superhero movie and my favorite all-time. For some time, I had mix feelings about the movie when I heard The Joker was the villain. The reason was because I hated The Joker in the original batman movie. When I saw the first photo of Heath Ledger as The Joker, I then became obsess with The Dark Knight. Then I finally walked to the theater and I was blown away when I left the theater.
After cleaning most of the streets in Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) is finally set to finish the job in Gotham City. With the help of Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent/Two Face (Aaron Eckhart) things look better than ever in Gotham until The Joker (Heath Ledger) sends total chaos back in Gotham. Batman is force to cross the line between hero and vigilante that leads to an ultimate showdown between The Joker and Batman.
The story in The Dark Knight is so much better than Batman Begins. There are so many great themes in the movie that people and the world can relate to. Another thing I love about the story is that there is all kind of emotions in it. It was an absolutely thrill ride from the beginning to the end.
The performances in the film are one of the best I've seen this year. After seeing Christian Bale in Batman Begins, I thought he was the best batman yet and he has proved it again in The Dark Knight. Bale did a great job playing Bruce Wayne's multiple personalities. Heath Ledger was absolutely astounding as The Joker. This is The Joker that I wanted to see in a long time. Ledger stole the whole movie and he is on my list for best movie villain. I won't be surprised if he doesn't get an Oscar, but he needs some kind of award for his performance. Your performance will be forever remembered. I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was great as Rachel Dawes and better than Katie Holmes in BB. But I still think she did a good in BB, unlike others, they she was horrible. Also new in the cast is Aaron Eckhart aka Harvey Dent/Two Face. I really like his acting as Harvey Dent, Two Face was even better. I didn't expect that much from Eckhart, but he did shocked me and fans and did an amazing job.
The action scenes in the movie are awesome. In my opinion, the Batpod chase scene was the best of all. I wasn't really sure about the Batpod before watching the film, but after seeing it on the big screen; I couldn't keep eyes off the damn thing. It is such a cool looking ride.
The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie of the century and the darkest of the century. Heath Ledger performance was mind-blowing, terrifying, and fun as hell as The Joker. In my opinion, He is the best villain of all time. The ending really sets the tone for the whole movie and the music was so amazing. I say bring another installment even if it can't top The Dark Knight. A great story will do it for me.
