The Dark Knight Review

THE MOVIE WHOSE HANGOVER CANNOT BE IGNORED BY HOLLYWOOD EVEN TODAY.

The epitome of what a thriller should be.

A broken hero, a crazy villain, a seemingly unbreakable city. The Dark Knight is everything you expect from a movie. It's immortality is majored by two main factors:- Ledger and Nolan.

Heath Ledger's act, simply put, is one of the greatest performances of all time in live action cinema. He gave it all. He managed not only to stand out of the entire cast of Oscar nominated actors, but mark the beginning of the period where Superheroes weren't "kid's stuff". It deals with complex philosophical issues and infuses them into an adrenaline pumping story. Combine this with the genius of Sir Christopher Nolan, you get a riveting thriller that's sure to keep you at the edge of your seats. The only mistake it does is IT ENDS.

Christian Bale often is overshadowed by Ledger's towering performance, but manages to still be the best Bat out there. Michael Caine is, well, Michael Caine. Morgan freeman has a very short role, but manages to leave a mark as he always does. Special mention to the stunt doubles and action choreographers. (The truck flip is UNBELIEVABLE.)

If you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favour. Go watch it.
