The Dark Knight
PG-13
Without a doubt, The Dark Knight clearly trumps all superhero movies that came out before it. Iron Man turns to rust, and the Incredible Hulk can turn green in envy and Hancock can probably find some other place to find to. The Dark Knight is an edge-of-the-seat thrill ride and I could say it could match up to the original Batman. The thing which drove the movie forward was clearly the late Heath Ledger's terrific and flawless portrayal as the demented, intelligent and mad The Joker. Other than that, the movie would have probably fell to pieces attributing to a pale portrayal of Batman/Bruce Wayne in this sequel compared to Batman Begins. Two Face/Harvey Dent's role as a prop in this sequel was nothing much other than a stepping stone to the movie's conclusion. So hands down: the movie was clearly awesome given it's thick plot and the late Heath Ledger deserves a long round of applause.

A beautifully done movie which no doubt everyone from all walks of life will be able to relate to. Makoto Shinkai has beautifully integrated our everyday lives into three short stories, woven to tell the tale of love and departure
