A transformação que é dada ao Bruce vai muito além do personagem de forma isolada. Ela também está presente no universo como um todo, e Joker junto ao Duas Caras é a prova mais notável disso. Amo o modo de retratar o coringa como um anti-herói, a serviço do caos. Todo desenvolvimento do personagem foi meticulosamente pensado. Seus pensamentos, suas motivações, suas mentiras, suas atitudes. E é claro que nada menos que Heath Ledger teria o grandioso papel de interpretar este personagem. Além de fazer o papel da sua carreira, o mesmo imortalizou está retratação do mesmo. É uma pena que ele tenha ido tão cedo. Seu potencial era enorme.

O final agridoce é sensacional. Não é de hoje: o coringa sempre ganha, mesmo que você tenha feito tudo certo - ou pensado ter feito. E o duas caras é a reflexão disso.
Assim como toda a Gotham.

A OST por Hans Zimmer é lendária, assim como toda a caracterização da cidade. Os momentos cômicos são certeiros, apesar de que as vezes me parecem fora de momento. Os plots são muito bem feitos e nos pegam de surpresa. E por fim, as reflexões desa obra tem muito a nos dizer, e assistir apenas uma vez não é possível.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Greatest Superhero Movie Ever!!!
The Dark Knight: A film that not only knows who and what to do with it's characters but executes them and their motives perfectly. The story is amazing here, Batman is now established in Gotham and crime is at an all time high but then the Joker whips the city into completely anarky, and also The Joker in this film....WOW, Heath Ledger truly captured what the clown prince of crimes needs to be like, giving one of the greatest performances of all time (if not the best) Christian Bale shines just as bright giving a perfect performance of the duality between Batman and Bruce Wayne, and Bale's and Ledger's chemistry is unlike anything ever put on screen, while Bale and Ledger shine the side characters get great moments as well, Gary Oldman gives as great of a performance as he did in Batman Begins, Aaron Eckhart captures Harvey Dent's turn to Two Face perfectly, there is just too much good things in this movie to say, just watch the movie for yourself and be amazed at every sequence truly a masterpiece, 10 out of 10… Expand

After watching it again for what must be the umpteenth time, it is still one of the best movies I've ever seen. Heath Ledger is phenomenal, just absolutely stunning as the Joker. Even after seeing Jouaqin Phoenix's amazing go at this character, Ledger stands head and shoulders above all the rest. Christian Bale brings a gravitas to his role that is not easily duplicated in the other entries of this trilogy. And Aaron Eckhart makes a great transition from the "white knight of Gotham" to Two-Face, albeit a rather short and sudden transition. Lastly, although I love Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine as much as anybody else, Gary Oldman deserves the highest praise as Commissioner Gordon; he is always fantastic in every movie.
I'll share a key quality of a great movie: when you think it's over and excitedly find that you are just halfway through! I'll never forget thinking that it would be fine if the movie ended after Joker was initially captured, and to my surprise had another hour of wonderful movie to enjoy! In the end, the Dark Knight is hands down the best Christopher Nolan movie, the best Batman movie, and one of the best movies, period, of all time, in my opinion. If it's on, I'm watching.… Expand

What an amazing movie, the story is brilliant and the actors do more of an amazing job then they did previously in Batman Begins, dont get me wrong they're all amazing in the first one but this one they get way better than they did the firstWhat an amazing movie, the story is brilliant and the actors do more of an amazing job then they did previously in Batman Begins, dont get me wrong they're all amazing in the first one but this one they get way better than they did the first time. Also, Batman/Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) does more of an amazing job playing the Cape crusader then he did in the first by his performance and the action scenes which happen with him throughout the movie, speaking of the action scenes they're so good and intense to watch and they make me want to see what happens next throughout this superb movie. Finally, the villains of the movie The Joker (Heath Ledger) is phenomenal, the reasons on how he's phenomenal is on how he gets into the role of the character and another thing which I like about his joker over the others is how he plans to do certain things which might end up killing someone in a certain way but a very joker way, which really adds to his character and this really does make him into one of the best villains out there. The other villain in the movie who is known as Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart) is really good throughout this movie he really does get better more into the movie when we get to understand his character a bit more. I almost forgot to mention during the fight scenes the camera work is so smooth during them and its fantastic. I'd honestly say most of the green screen and CGI effects hold up pretty well throughout this amazing movie, the rest of the crew do an amazing job and they make this movie brilliant for what they're given. Overall, I'd honestly say you need to watch this movie as soon as possible because its brilliant and its honesty worth the watch.… Expand

We as viewers got to witness some of the best performances from Health Ledger as the Joker and Gary Oldman as Gordon, it was truly special to watch. What is so unique about this Batman movie is that it does not feel like a typical Batman movie, but a psychological crime drama mixed with a dark story. Christopher Nolan knew that bringing too much CGI could destroy the quality of the film so he chose to go for a realistic Batman movie and it just worked so well! The soundtrack from Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard are absoutely brilliant that really matched with the movie's dark twisted theme. The movie is the closest as flawless you can get, and possible the best movie ever made in history of cinema.… Expand

Rewatching this 10 years later, it's interesting to see how the strengths of character and script outweigh continuity errors (my favorite is the 28 caliber Chinese pistol Dent takes off a thug in a courtroom-3 continuity errors in 1 instant).Rewatching this 10 years later, it's interesting to see how the strengths of character and script outweigh continuity errors (my favorite is the 28 caliber Chinese pistol Dent takes off a thug in a courtroom-3 continuity errors in 1 instant). Never for an moment is this movie less than enthralling. You could put a clock next to the tv and watch it fly by. I particularly like how the camera never lingers for a second, once the message of the scene is carried, boom next. I think this movie is, above all, a triumph of editing. You never question for a second where we are or what we are set up for. Cuts of cityscapes are especially effective at cleansing the palette for the next plot maneuver. Most notable in this movie are what is absent. Joker has no definite origin in this movie even though the story is taken from the same source as this year's Joker, which was totally an origin story about a failed comedian. Batman and Joker in this story both wrestle with their own origins, debating themselves how they came to be who they are, the question is more important than the answer in every case. The Joker is a study in flawed narrative, remembering his past however suits the occasion. Batman reinterprets himself, changing his armor and tactics to suit the occasion. Both are dealing with loss and identity in in their own ways. Joker, being narcissistic, seeks to alter reality to suit his goals. Of course, like every narcissist, his goal is always to get attention-never to succeed. Batman, being codependent, changes himself to suit the needs of those around him. Both have something to learn from one another. If Batman could learn to be more selfish and Joker learn to be more considerate, each could try to repair the broken world they live in without making it worse.
Roger Ebert said this movie is a study in how morals become sacrificed in attempting to justify the ends, and the only real winner is the Joker, who just wants to see destruction.

The end of the movie has a wonderful message. All people really need is to hate the person who looks out for them, so the Joker had the ultimate victory. I guess that explains why people love the Joker so much. It really is a depressing movie.… Expand

Easily the best Comic book movie ever made. A simply perfect follow up to the already amazing Batman Begins, The Dark Knights shows us what truly makes Batman tick. The Dark Knight introduces us to the famous performance of the JokerEasily the best Comic book movie ever made. A simply perfect follow up to the already amazing Batman Begins, The Dark Knights shows us what truly makes Batman tick. The Dark Knight introduces us to the famous performance of the Joker portrayed by the late great Heath Ledger. The Joker is the perfect foil for Batman in this film as he is the complete opposite to him. They say opposites attract and that is completely true here as The Joker's chaotic nature is the perfect antithesis for Batman's strive for justice. Throughout the film Batman is constantly questioning what he stands for and if what he does makes things worst. This sense of self awareness and conflict within the character automatically makes the film better and makes for a more intriguing watch. One aspect that truly makes this film stands out is that its not just a conventional comic book movie. At its core this film is a crime thriller. Delving into the deepest darkest depths of crime and what effects acts of anarchy can have on society. If your a fan of the Batman mythos you will enjoy this film regardless but if you are looking for a smart, well directed and exceptionally acted film you will definitely not regret watching this epic, directed by Christopher Nolan.… Expand

The dark knight is the best movie from the trilogy and also has an amazing villain (the joker) and has overall great characters there will probably no movie like the dark knight so if you like batman or superheroes in general just watch it.

The Dark Knight in my opinion is the best super hero movie. Acting was superb by Christopher Nolan and the villain(the joker) was easily one of the best villains throughout super hero movies.

The Dark Knight

Nolan's Hamlet-alike Batman is a wise old soul that has reached a place and places a stone so deep and so illuminating that it almost feels unfathomable to be touched or even seen. Continuing the legacy of The Dark Knight comics, Nolan explored the aftermath of a vigilante marking justice with his bare hands in the previous chapter. Ergo, this season is politically influenced, challenged and correct. Above all the intricacies of the plots suggested in this crime saga, my personal favorite, is how human this said-superhero is treated.

With clean crime comes a clean film. Compared to the previous adventure of the Batman, the action is crisp, smart and a complete fanatic of itself. Take the characters, for instance. On what stage and state they are in. The reason I'd like to think, they all fail and never were ever going to reach the salvation they hope for, is because they barely are thinking about others. And here comes the final Nolan touch. All the "bad guys" of the film are actually thinking about others. Their ideologies hence remains above our heroes and their deeds not so much.

And hence emerges, one of the finest and sensible villains, the history of cinema has ever encountered. The Joker played hungrily by Heath Ledger will stay timeless for both its performance and what it leaves and breathes for. And they are the questions, his cheats and lies, are actually vital questions that whips us now, just as they did then and they will in the future. For there is no definite answer or any answer that Nolan is throwing out in the world, it can float untouched in a bubble as much as you like. Personally, I felt Harvey Dent played like a bad boyfriend by Aaron Echart, has a last act that exceeds the Joker's final bluff in the game. Probably because the Joker's is a question- which comes in early- and Dent has a cold answer that no one wants to hear. And since his crux of the trick feeds on the last moment, watching those three wrong-doers play a game of chance feels like the best note to end a film on.… Expand

Greatest comic film of all time

Everything is on the ball. Acting, story, cinematography, score, action. You name it this film knocks it out of the park. Bale gives another killer performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne with a great performanceGreatest comic film of all time

Everything is on the ball. Acting, story, cinematography, score, action. You name it this film knocks it out of the park.

Bale gives another killer performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne with a great performance from Michael Caine as Alfred. Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart were stellar as Gordon and Harvey.

The stand out performance is obviously Heath Ledger as The Joker. He's scary, but compelling. Every moment he's on screen in a joy and he steals the show. A much deserved Oscar was given to Ledger post-humously for this performance.

In the years since it's release this type of filmmaking has become taboo for comic movies, with films that put character and story above cringey jokes and a formulaic plot structure being panned because critics have decided that if it's not Disney, it is automatically bad.I honestly believe had this film been released in 2018 instead of 2008 it'd have been panned by critics for being too dark and serious and not having enough humor, and for the "crime" of not being linked to Disney in some way.… Expand

If your a fan of classic Batman stories such as The Long Halloween, and The Killing Joke, this movie is a perfect interpretation.

The main flaw I have to say about this film is that it wants to show us too much, too fast. This, in my opinion, ruins the continuity that made the first film so great. In the first film, each character from Bruce Wayne, Henri Ducard, to John Crane, was fleshed out and had depth. But in this one, the film is so excited to show you Heath Ledger's Joker, that it seems to ignore everything else!

And Rachel Dawes? Well she's being played by a new actress (Not Katie Holmes) who does not act well in her role at all. She feels like a completely different person from the first film. And Bruce Wayne? Well he's just there for the show. The sprinkle on Joker's Cake. This entire movie, is only about Heath Ledger's Joker performance....

Now to the main portion of this review, the portion everyone is so overhyped for.... Heath Ledger's Joker performance! It was great! He completely deserved an oscar! But the negative I do have to note is, this film shouldn't have shown Two-Face, nor all the other mob bosses. It should have only focused around the Joker and developed this character out a bit. This entire movie feels like one big explosion from start to finish while Bruce Wayne is in his home chumming down on some popcorn. It really felt like he was not in this movie with how underdeveloped everything else was to the Joker.

Overall, I rate this movie a 6/10. It will be remembered for Heath Ledger's Joker performance, but no one else's flat performance. I somewhat recommend this.… Expand
