A beautifully orchestrated masterpiece...

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2009)

Although being a sequel to ''Batman Begins'', ''The Dark Knight'' does not in any way rely on it's strength.This film stands proudly on its own. A true gem in the history of films that from beginning to end shows us an epic struggle of life...
I can safely say that each scene in this film is brilliant in it's own right.It violently grips you in the exceptionally outstanding opening to leaving you with a wild frenzy of emotions in the last...
Christopher Nolan directs one of the best casts and maybe the finest line up of characters we will see in a long,long time. But Heath Ledger as The Joker is always the surrounding hype of ''The Dark Knight''. Be that as it may,his performance as The Joker is light years away from what makes this such a unique masterpiece.
I'm not saying I didn't like his performance. I think it's one of the best portrayals of a character captured on film that can be compared to even praised Brando performances. The Joker performance is one of the many elements that makes the film exceptional. It's the entire cast and their ability to act out against each other. Christian Bale,Heath Ledger,Aaron Eckhart,Gary Oldman,Michael Cain and Morgan Freeman...Take a bow.
The score.The darkness of the score creates an ''out of this universe'' feel to the film which compliments it's realistic tone. It really is another major element in this amazing film.
I can't talk about the story without giving spoilers, but as I said, it's a beautifully orchestrated masterpiece.
All in all, The Dark Knight has majestic timing with all of its amazing elements coming into being at the right moments. It has really been an amazing feature to have witnessed this rare piece of art...
A brilliant story crafted with creative theatrics...
It is because of films like this the art of cinema came into being....
