The Best Film I've seen in a really long time

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2009)

What can be said about the Dark Knight that hasn't been said before? This film is amazing...AMAZING with capital letters. Those who haven't seen it should rent it and watch it as soon as they can. I think that apart from the original Star Wars and The Godfather, this is possibly my favorite film of all time. It is not overrated like so many claim. It's one of those rare films that surpasses the hype. I'm going to make my review short cause honestly I don't think I can say much of what hasn't already been said by audiences and critics alike. Great directing by Christopher Nolan. I think he's a talented director and someone we should watch for because he is going to keep dazzling us with complicated, intricate and entertaining movies for years to come. I actually think he's going to be one of those director's that is mentioned with the same awe and appreciation as Martin Scorcese, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg. The film also has top notch performances by Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Eric Roberts among some others. But the best performance is delivered by the late Heath Ledger. His performance is the stuff dreams are made off, he is not only the best Joker, but he is also the best villain, in my opinion, of all time. He is downright awesome. Anyone who likes superhero movies should watch this film, it's like the Godfather of all superhero flicks.
If you haven't seen it yet watch it. It's long, but it's worth the time.
