PG-13
Movie Review #9: The Dark Knight (2008)
Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhert
Batman raises the stakes in his bourgeois war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.
my thoughts on this movie are phenomenal. This is excellent in every way. The performances are awesome, especially the late and great Heath Ledger as the Joker. He has made him into an iconic movie villain. Batman, eat your heart out because The Joker was the true star of the film. Christopher Nolan had everything: perfect directing, perfect story, perfect balance between action and drama, everything is perfect. Overall, this is one of my favorite films of 2008. This is the best comic book movie of all time. Yo Nicholson, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish, But Heath Ledger had one of the best performances of all time. This movie is a instant classic.
