Although overrated and too long; The Dark Knight is a uniquely designed piece of art by Christopher Nolan with a fantastic and unforgettable performance by Heath Ledger. |

Almost dark enough |
|
A madman has brought his wrath to "Gotham City" (Chicago, Illinois) which is finally cleaning out the criminal element. That man is known to authorities as "The Joker" (Heath Ledger). And there is only one man who can stop him -- a masked vigilante known as "The Batman" (Christian Bale).
However, another man is trying to do, legally, what the "Caped Crusader" has been doing. That man is the District Attorney "Harvey Dent" (Aaron Eckhart), who eventually becomes what "Bruce Wayne" (Bale) fights to become in his dark alter-ego.
The two men who are trying to get "The Clown Prince of Crime" each have the same partner -- "Lt. James Gordon" (Gary Oldman), who is one of the only uncorrupt cops on the force. But, "Batman" has two more partners in his battle against evil -- "Alfred" (Sir Mic... |

Best Movie of 08 |
|
The best movie of 2008, one of the best movies of all time, and my personal favorite. This movie takes a comic book series and pulls it down to our level without getting ridiculous. It's the best superhero movie ever by far, but it doesn't really feel like a superhero movie. It takes on more of the feel of a crime saga, with the Batman mythos thrown in it. Should have been nominated (and won) Best Picture in 2008. It truly was robbed thanks to the political correctness of the Oscars. God forbid a superhero movie be in the list. But whatever, the best movie in 2008 bar none. Buy it. The end. |

Does Not Live Up To The Hype |
|
I know there are many who will disagree with me, but I was not overwhelmed by this movie. Heath Ledger was brilliant as Joker. The Joker was underused, however. I'm not particularly a fan of Christian Bale. I find his acting flat, as I found it in this movie. I believe he has the worst Batman voice ever. There were too many subplots going on at once and I found this detracted from the main plot at times. Sure, there were lots of chases and explosions, but not all of them were necessary. Bigger is not always better and I wish the movie makers out there would realize this. So many movies could be totally streamlined. It's like everything was in this movie, except the kitchen sink. I found the movie to be too long. It just didn't live up to the hype for me. |

i think that under all the expectation chris nolan did a good job with the dark knight, it wasnt as understated as batman begins, (which i think is maybe just as good as the dark knight) and at times it felt like scenes were only in so that the movie could get to the end and at times were either unneccesary or in the wrong place, i.e the scene where the joker kills 'gamble', and batman and fox chit chatting, it however it might just be my over expectation that makes me think this way. but on the whole what we have is an excellent action movie, with probably the most heroic yet most believable protagonist of all time and a sick demented villain who's motives are never truly explained ( because they dont have to be). well im rambling now, but id give it a 4 and a half out of 5 |
