Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2011)

The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight is a film which follows on from Batman Begins, the origins of Batman, and that was a brilliant film. But The Dark Knight completely exceeds its prequel. It is an absolute masterpiece, the ensemble in this exceptional crime, thriller, action, drama, is one of the best I have ever seen.
Christopher Nolan, in my opinion, is the best director ever, the way he creates an atmosphere is astounding. I love the way he has taken 'Batman' and turned it from being stupid and quirky into something brilliant. The darkness really brings out how great Batman and the other characters are. And the actors who betray them do it brilliantly, Heath Ledger especially. Christian Bale did just as good at being Bruce Wayne/Batman as he did in 'Batman Begins'. But then they introduced the Joker, and Heath Ledger was selected to play this crazy, schizophrenic maniac. And he did it better than anyone has/could of. Jack Nicholson, step aside, Heath Ledger brings this character alive and makes him truly unbelievably brilliant.
The story of this film is incredibly thought out, very clever and fully enjoyable. The screenplay was incredible, I never thought I could get so into a film, but I couldn't take my eyes off of my TV screen. The ending of this film is the best ending to any film I have ever seen. It is so action packed! Everything just comes together, and there is not one boring moment. The sound to this film meets the standards to the video completely, it doubles the excitement.
This film is not to be missed whether you like Batman/superhero movies or not. It is a brilliant film for people who love excitement and tension. Buy this film and watch it. In my opinion, this is the best movie ever made.
