Movie Review: The Dark Knight

Friday, February 12, 2010
Synopsis: With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
U.S. Rating: PG-13

One of the best films of all time. Definitely one of my top 5! No doubt about it! I'm a huge fan of Batman. I used to watch the old TV Series with all the "pow! bam! swaap!..." fighting scenes, the classic movies with Michael Keaton or Val Kilmer... and lately, the amazing ones with Christian Bale, directed by Christopher Nolan.

Nolan was able to deliver one of the most amazing and finest superhero movies in decades! The Dark Knight was a film that revealed the dark side of humans, all those crazy and psychotic instincts that turn men into animals. Heath Ledger playing The Joker was magnificent. He's the perfect example of what Nolan wanted to express on this film.

The Dark Knight is such a highly entertaining film containing all the perfect ingredients: An amazing cast who played their roles in such a brilliant way, impressive and spectacular action scenes, an amazing and unique script, customs, cars and weapons stunningly designed and an unfinished end, leaving everyone wanting more.

Totally recommended. As said before, it is one of the best films of all time. It is impressive to watch either on the big screen or a Blu-Ray (or even on a DVD!). If you haven't watched it, you should add it to your "must watch" personal list ASAP!

What did I like from this movie?

1. Definitely, the best of the film was Heath Ledger's performance. He made the film so worth to watch. I believe he set a standard for all future bad guys and Batman enemies. Every single one will have to "at least" be as amazing as he was on this film. He made his role so real, so tangible, so freaking scary!... "Why so serious, son?!... Let's put a smile in that face!"
2. All the cool gadgets, weapons and cars... simply amazing!
3. The cast, script and direction, such a great job and selection!

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. Nothing at all!

I would rate this movie with a 5/5
