Dark Knight Movie Review

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2017)

The Dark Knight was a fantastic movie and had some very good casting for some very specific roles in the movie. The role of The Joker played by Heath Ledger was the perfect example of how well the casting was for this movie. I went back and researched the ways he went about preparing himself for this role and it was unbelievable, but also very unfortunate to see what happened after the fact.
The movie was great and as all batman movies go you see Batman going through the struggle of good versus evil. The Joker proves time and time again also that he doesn't care who he hurts and whether he dies or not. One example of this would be when they are fighting on the top of the unfinished skyscraper and he is pushed off the side by Batman and you see him falling to his death and just laughing as hard as he can. The obvious choice for another place that you may have seen a scenario like this would be the Dark Knight Rises, with Bane and how fearless he is and he isn't going to stop until he gets rid of Batman. But as you all know Batman would eventually go on to save The Joker but this just shows how fearless he really is and also the lighting they use from the hovering helicopter makes for a pretty memorable shot.
When it comes to action movies now I feel that they are always trying to use too many explosions. I feel that was an area that the crew did a very good job of keeping these very limited throughout the movie. Also, I remember seeing this movie in theaters when it first came out and I remember it not being too loud. Which is another downfall to the newer batch of action movies.
Overall, I do believe this movie is truly a 10 out of 10, going down the line there is only one thing that bugged me out of the whole movie and it was the fact that you never got to see the Joker again or even really hear about his whereabouts. I know this is more about possibly setting up the story for further down the line but I was ready to see him be finished off by someone or at least see that he made it to the Asylum. But the acting in the Dark Knight was phenomenal and they did a very good job of being able to improve on a movie from such a long time ago which now is very hard to do.
