Keeps you on the edge from the beginning

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2008)

I love it when a movie begins with a bang, and the Dark Knight does this, and then to top things off, it never stopped. The movie was always interesting. If you had too go to bathroom, you have to pick your spots or you'll miss something. There are a lot of little subplots that all come together to build one great movie. The movie also sounds excellent and looks even better. There was only once were you could really notice any CGI being used, otherwise it looked all real, and thats just what I want. Heath Ledgers performance has to rank not only as in the top 5 of best bad guy performances, with people like Hannibal, but his performance is diffiantly one of the top 10 performances of all time. It will be a shame if he doesn't won, I don't care if it looks like a sympathy vote, he earnt it, you cant tell that was heath playing, there was no way, and the way he played it, helps you understand how he killed himself. Also, the make up department did a hec of a job on Two-faces, bad face. In the end this movie will be remembered for a great box office, heath ledgers joker, great sound, a great score, great action, a great story and hec, people may forget this movie is about Batman. By the way, Batman gives one of the great hero moves at the end of the movie, gutsy to know the costs, but he does it anyway, and really that is one of the best running themes, does a hero need a mask or not.
