Has to be one of my favourite films of all time, filled with action, you are gripped to the TV, also Heath Ledger does an excellent job as the joker, in the facial expressions, to the small details.
Overall an amazing movie.

Despite being overrated, The Dark Knight shows viewers a strong villain and dark atmosphere. Sadly, Heath Ledger died postumously to its release however, he still earned a Oscar for best supporting actor and cemented himself in film history.

That's right folks I'm calling this film not the best because it has no super in it and gives you a sad and disappointing view of real life. The plot, characters, and whole presence makes you so pissed off and the critics call it the perfect superhero film what a load of **** Yeah I just said it **** and who really cars if I say a few swear words, it just my own opinion. The most part that makes me angry is that health ledger's joker is the supervillain, I prefer the Jack Nicholson version and to give a dead guy a award for good acting is like walking off a bridge. I admit some of the action scenes were cool but I'm no batman fan. I'm a loyal superman fan and I think the man of steel is way better than this crappy film. So that's my review of a extremely overrated film that died so much in disgrace that it could never make me pleasant… Expand

Is it overrated? Absolutely. It suffers from the same problems as Batman Begins- namely, the over-reverential script and the over-analysis of the movie's themes. But this one is much better, and I can explain why in five words: Heath LedgerIs it overrated? Absolutely. It suffers from the same problems as Batman Begins- namely, the over-reverential script and the over-analysis of the movie's themes. But this one is much better, and I can explain why in five words: Heath Ledger as the Joker. This is the one part of the movie that deserves as much praise as it got. Ledger finds that tiny, tiny spot between funny and terrifying and milks it for all it's worth. He's a wounded puppy-dog of a jester who won't hesitate to slice your mouth in two or blow up a cruise ship, and he'll be laughing all the way. Also, he's the only actor in the crowd who can ably handle Nolan's Script and fuse it into his character, though that might be more of the Joker psychology that Ledger's acting. Whatever it is, he nails it. I just wish the rest of the movie was as clever and nuanced as him.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Batman film everyone should deserve, even for people who don't like Batman. The films atmosphere, relatable characters, well-done action scenes, tension building are the things films need more of these days. The Dark Knight is a film I watch just to remind me what any other film but this one should try and be like. I mentioned action scenes separately because they are one the biggest highlights for me. Every single scene ranging from fist fights and car chases is perfectly edited and choreographed to show the realistic Batman in action. The car chase showing the Joker trying to catch Harvey Dent is perhaps the most detailed and perfectly executed piece of cinematography in film history. It might be a little disappointing that they got rid of the Bat mobile so suddenly and without warning. However the bat cycle blends in perfectly with one of Batman's many fantastic vehicles for the trilogy. Batman himself has become much more easy to take seriously which is saying a lot. He has now moved on from his only works by himself cycle in the first film, and now shows him with Harvey Dent and Jim Gordon working together to take down crime in the city. All the while knowing that Batman is a vigilante. Bruce Wayne is now still onto Rachel despite her having found out his secret in the last film, who has now moved onto Harvey Dent and seems to use Bruce's secret against him as would anyone. However the most interesting character for me is the joker himself. He is perhaps the most well-chosen actors for the part as Heath Ledger portrays him in a way its creepy. He is a man driven by nothing but chaos and the very destruction around him. He is also driven to bring down the Batman. This is a brilliant plot device since the Joker has nothing to sacrifice but his very life. Whereas Batman has his social life and his secret identity at stake. The Joker only wants Batman to give in. This is good for tension building because the audience are with Batman and realise that the Jokers plan is technically impossible to beat unless Batman... well, kills him. I won't go any further because I am positive that you've already heard enough hype for this film, and let me say that The Dark Knight has lived up to every bit of it and more.… Expand

Just look at the Batmobile, so incredible! I totally love the action and crime in The Dark Knight, and both the opening scene and the ending was just awesome. I’m also amazed by how groovy the movie was, and with the great music and the awesome actors couldn't the movie have been done better. Every small detail in the movie is perfect, except that there are some confusing and slow scenes in some places.

The Dark Knight is a spectacular movie, and the best to date by Nolan.

I found The Dark Knight to be great film, living up to it's name. Although it is a shame about Ledger's death. He played The Jokers part perfectly. No one could have played the chaotic clown any better than Heath Ledger. As for Christian BaleI found The Dark Knight to be great film, living up to it's name. Although it is a shame about Ledger's death. He played The Jokers part perfectly. No one could have played the chaotic clown any better than Heath Ledger. As for Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne to be very exceptional as well. The movie itself and the plot to be devised exceptionally well.

With Gotham in diss array and Batman trying to clean up the streets and is shunned by the law; while a megalomaniac is on the loose blowing up hospitals and killing without remorse. A great work of Art, better than the other two films in my opinion. Introducing Aaron Eckhart as Two Face; I found to be very exciting to see, seeing as he's one of my favorite DC villains.

Although the film is very long and some parts to be boring it's the little things that was fantastic. With Ledger's fantastic portrayal and improvised parts, showing the Joker in his true form.

This movie will be cherished and remembered for decades and the one of the greatest live action Batman movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rare breed of film which is both serious and impossibly entertaining. Why so serious. The acting is first rate with already classic landmark performances from Ledger and Bale, with strong supporting acts from, Oldman, Freeman and Caine. The audience are able to feast there eyes on cinematic magic from the breathtaking visual effects, shown extensively through the chase scenes with the Bat-pod and Lorry. Whiles Hanz Zimmers theme keeps you heart pounding throughout the film. The film which is already seen as a classic for the genre has no major shortcomings though of course people will dig plot holes. Definitely the best superhero film of all time, though a wide range of successful themes allow it to almost transcend its genre.

Well one of the outstanding reasons would have to be The Joker (Heath Ledger), firstly the performance by him in this film is fantastic and absolutely deserved the Oscar for best supporting actor. Another reason why this is a great feature and most definitely the best of the trilogy is because there's no stupid backstory that's just a load of nonsense, the Joker is just simply crazy or messed up and even as Michael Caine says in the film 'Some people just wanna watch the world burn' the joker mentions a few times about his past and how he got his scars but changes them each time so no ones actually sure what's wrong with him.
I also think Christian Bale plays a great Batman, compared to George Clooney or almost any of the others

The one kills with theThe dark knight pivots around this one premise: there is good and there is bad and there is nothing in between. This black and white morality is embodied in the characters of the insane Joker and the angelic Batman. The one kills with the least provocation, indiscriminately because even his own henchmen and allies are killed in an offhand, often gruesome, way. The other avoids killing in the most desperate and chaotic of situations and we see him, in his human form as Bruce Wayne, flounder in his dalliance with Rachel. For Bruce is a gentleman and as a gentleman he would not impose himself upon a woman. He is the knight, a dark knight, but a knight non the less.
Joker exists to tempt Batman into falling from his shining white pedestal for no other reason then to proof that he will, if push came to shove. Thou shalt not kill..unless one has to and then one is damned for all eternity.
And it is Joker who will do the pushing and shoving, until he gets Batman to do something that is 'wrong'.
And eventually he will..
Of course he will...
It is all hogwash.
The movie, clamored to be the more realistic of them all, might be what it claims to be, but it is still unrealistic and, to boot, based on an abject morality. There is dark and there is light, and just one wrong deed is enough to turn white into black, because here is nothing in between. Intentions do not matter and it just takes one wrong deed to have people abandon Batman to the wolves, for he is a vigilante that ought to be put in jail, even though the purposefully made inept law enforcement agencies can not deal with the likes of a Joker or, for that matter, any other villain. Unless Batman helps them of course.
Ironically the movie has no reason to be from the start, for Batman is a vigilante and thus acts outside the law. Case closed, the movie has lost it's macGuffin.
The whole movie revolves around unrealism. Joker can command hordes of henchmen, who cater to his every whim. Unexplained is why these henchmen serve a psychotic murderer who has no problem in killing them at the blink of an eye. They just do. Unexplained is where Joker gets the means. He just has them, in abundance. Unexplained is how Joker knows things. He just does. The image is not of a man gone insane, but of supernatural being that has come to earth to do evil. Is Joker Satan?
So in what is it then more realistic?
Is it the style that has been stripped down to the level that there is no style at all? Where the comics are drawn in stark dark colors, gritty details, unusual angles and unsettling stylistic elements, the movie has abandoned all of it. The cinematography is mediocre. Shots are wasted, like the one that sees a conference with a long table and rows of chairs, but the camera fails to use the obvious opportunity to align the shot along the table, using a focused angle that zooms in on Bruce Wayne sleeping, while the people are talking about him. The camera is used in a 'safe' fashion. Lighting is just done away with. While to comics show a fascinating play of shadows, the movie does not use that at all.
Is it then realistic in the way people behave?
Is it in the way that people do not think twice to show no loyalty to Batman at all? Or is it in the way cops fail to spot that their fellow policemen have been replaced by Jokers henchmen? Or is it in the way a mobster engages in a standup open fight and forgets that he has to reload the damn thing? Or is it in the way the crime-bosses let themselves be bullied by Joker?
Is there then any realism in the story line?
You mean in the way the omniscient and omnipresent Joker terrorizes Gotham to the point that the citizens are willing to offer up their hero to the mercy of that madman? For that is the whole story and it takes more then two hours to tell something that did not have anything substantial to explore after the first half.
There are far better movies that examine the themes of good and bad in a more down-to-earth and humane way. Serpico springs to mind, or Taxi Driver or Fort Apache, the Bronx. All of whom score lower then this movie.
The irony is that Dark Knight is praised for what a Batman movie ought not to be. It ought to be unrealistic, stylish, shot with unusual angles, using stark contrasts, snappy dialogues and allow for Catwoman.

If one movie captured what it was like to live in the post-9/11 decade, this is it. This is the movie of a generation.

It seems to lack a traditional narrative structure, instead pounding away relentlessly with jump scares, psychologicalIf one movie captured what it was like to live in the post-9/11 decade, this is it. This is the movie of a generation.

It seems to lack a traditional narrative structure, instead pounding away relentlessly with jump scares, psychological horror, and real action. Terse direction and a chilling manical score drive the action. The bank robbery prologue remains one of the classic film openings, but memorable scenes and quotable dialogue abound, culminating in the epic Batman/Joker interrogation scene.

People rightfully remember the profound tragedy of Heath Ledger's death so soon after this iconic performance, but there is an abundance of strong acting. Aaron Eckhart provides a nuanced foil before making a scary turn, and Maggie Gyllenhall sells the horror of the Joker's machinations, and of course Christian Bale somehow conveys the weight of the world being on his shoulders in an oddly thankless role.

Largely grounded in reality, the film nonetheless reveals plot holes and implausibilities upon rewatching. However, it is a testament to it greatness that despite the Joker's seemingly impossible schemes or the muddled ending, the emotional impact of the film as a whole remains untarnished. The film's brilliance is that in the climax with an unknown everyman, not a superhero, is given a choice to kill or be killed, the film genuinely sells that he might go either way, and the audience invests in his decision.

Even a cynic cannot watch The Dark Knight without laughing at its black humor, squirming at its horrors, and doing some self-evaluation afterwards. What has fear done to us? What is the right response to terror? Where do we go from here? Simultaneously a work of cinematic art, a philosophical treatise, and a pop culture classic, this movie's place in history cannot be denied.… Expand

But, it was not like a superhero movie. It was like a exciting psychological crime movie. That's the only disadvantage maybe but I ignore it, because Batman has more serious style than the other superheroes. He's like a detective rather than a superhero.

After all, this movie is a masterpiece of Nolan. Deserves 10 out of 10.… Expand

Throughout this collection of movies that tried to depict the Dark Knight, this one is the only one that does it right... no, scratch that, it doesThere have been many Batman movies, some were good, some were okay and some were just awful. Throughout this collection of movies that tried to depict the Dark Knight, this one is the only one that does it right... no, scratch that, it does it perfect. A simply amazing and captivating movie, that puts the Dark Knight into the perfect 'light': darkness. It presents him, not as a hero that saves the day, but as a man who sacrifices everything for justice and for the city that he loves.

The screenplay is just fantastic, taking the hero-movie genre to a whole new level. Christopher Nolan's dark and modern directing style also fits perfectly and Hans Zimmer's score makes you feel like this is something special, this is something different, this is the ultimate superhero movie of all time. The dark score captures the corruption and the decadence in Gotham just perfect.

The acting is also extremely well, and I think you already know where I'm going with this... Yes, Heath Ledger's Joker is simply perfect. His twisted, homicidal personality it's only beaten by his little and detailed tics.

A truly mature and unique story, 'The Dark Knight' impresses through its serious and dark atmosphere, incredible writing and the unique mature approach on the story of the greatest superhero and villain of all time.… Expand

If anybody's been on the IMDb Top 250 lately, there's a reason why this movie sits at #6 with a 9.0 rating. This movie is absolutely unbelievable, and it blows my mind that it was not even nominated for Best Picture in 2008. Christian Bale does a fantastic job, the best I've seen for a super hero protagonist. The minor roles of acting legends Michael Caine (Alfred Pennywoth) and Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox) were stupendous, and Maggie Gyllenhaal was fantastic as Rachel Dawes, much better than Katie Holmes did in Batman Begins. Gary Oldman is back and better than ever as Lt. Gordon, and played a role that forced the audience to fall in love with him, even those that went into the movie thinking it wouldn't live up to all the hype. Aaron Eckhart did a fabulous job throughout the movie, from first being the White Knight DA of Gotham Harvey Dent, and eventually as Two-Face, the psychotic criminal obsessed with chance. But the most spectacular acting job throughout not just the movie, but the series, was Heath Ledger, the Joker. His acting job was one of the best I've ever seen, and it's an absolute shame that he passed. The Joker's combination of insanity and sensibility was astonishing. Everything he said throughout the movie was absolutely crazy, but at the same side, made sense. He deserved the Oscar he won for the film, and the Dark Knight is worth watching solely because of him. This film had an absolutely amazing cast, and it is an outstanding film. Also, Hans Zimmer did a fantastic job with the score, so a hat-tip to him. All of the music was perfect for every situation, and that screeching sound that symbolizes the Joker was perfection. So a huge hat-tip to Christopher Nolan (the director), Hans Zimmer, and the entire cast, especially Heath Ledger. This film is STRONGLY recommended. 10 stars out of 10.… Expand

A Perfect rating is where the movie is either perfect because it has no real flaws or so good that the bad is nonexistent, 10's are important films and Perfect films are examples of unrivaled filmmaking. So much has already been said about The Dark Knight that I don't need to say much, but I must say this. Nowadays, superhero films are trying to copy The Dark Knight and fail to see why this is a perfect movie, not because its dark, not because it has blood, or violence, or because it has swearing, or any of that stupidity into thinking that is what makes this film great, No, it is because it is mature, intelligent, and a thought provoking story about morality, choice, justice, anarchy, evil, good, and how madness can triumph in the end unless good gives into some kind of evil. That is why The Dark Knight is a perfect film, executed beautifully, and remaining loyal to it's source material while raising new questions for both comic book fans and film goers, that make it a marvel, an achievement that hasn't been matched by many, and won't be knocked off of it's throne as the greatest superhero movie of all time, for a long, long time.… Expand

The two really complement one another. At two and a half hours running time, if they had included more character development for Batman, it would have been too long to be watch-able by today's standards. So let me go ahead and say that I understand the decision to give Joker as much time on screen as possible, as this being a sequel some other character had to be focussed on to keep things interesting. However, this left Bruce Wayne with too few scenes without the mask where he wasn't being smug. Batman Begins showed us the human side of the superhero, and that is why I loved it so much. He felt so real and authentic. So the reason I'm giving it such a high score is only because of Joker. If he had not completely blown my mind away, I would have scored it much lower. The supporting cast did a commendable job but nothing which would have earned the movie favourable reviews and critical acclaim.… Expand

What can be said? This film is just simply amazing. many believe Avengers was the best superhero film of all time, but I believe The Dark knight is the greatest.

Self-indulgent pretentious crap. He ruined the Batman series. Mindless trash this was. Still hate it to this day. No wonder everybody hated the last one, its because this one was the set up to an even worse one.

Not only one of the best sequels of all-time, but one of the best films ever made. Heath Ledger did a brilliant job portraying the Joker, as did Christian Bale for playing Bruce Wayne/Batman.

An extraordinary adventure film with action all the time. One of the best Batman movies. Fans are going to love, Haters are going to love. Christopher Nolan is probably the best director nowadays.

The best of the franchise. A perfect film from start to finish that never gets old. This film is slightly better then the other two because of Heath Ledger his portrayal of the Joker is to me the greatest villain of all time.

This movie is perfect for ME, let me just be clear about that. Just because I think it's perfect, doesn't mean I should get hated by the minority who disagree with my decisions. Anyways, this is perfect telling of the cape crusader. No other Batman film has come as close as this one has to showing Batman's true potential. Nolan got everything right in this movie, actors, writing, camera work, action/effects, and just an overall tone. You have an all star cast that just keeps you entertained all the way through, from Christian Bale; though the voice is rather annoying, of course Ledger playing the now iconic role of the Joker, and even the supporting cast: Gary Oldman, Michael Cane, Aaron Eckhart, and that girlfriend (I don't remember her name). The way this entire film is shot just makes it feel gigantic and makes the atmosphere feels more as well. The writing id really good too, although it is a bit of a bummer in how they constantly talk about everything; by that I mean they don't make it so you can try to think about the film yourself, but instead tell you what's it trying to convey. The action may not be as spectacular as some heavy effects film may be, but it doesn't have to be. The action in this is by far some of the best realistic sequences in cinema (of course I'm just referring to action only). Probably going to sound like every other positive review on this movie: An awesome experience overall.… Expand

One of the best super hero movies of all times. If you havent seen it yet then..just stop reading this review and go see it first. Strong villains against strong super heros usually make the movie and this is no exception.

Not only as one of the best superhero movies ever made, but also one of the best superheroAfter a great start to a new batman trilogy with "Batman Begins", Christopher Nolan goes deeper into the story and has created a true masterpiece. Not only as one of the best superhero movies ever made, but also one of the best superhero movies ever made. If one things for sure, not only is the story more thrilling but so are the characters. Especially the Joker and Harvey Dent. But still, the Joker (Heath Ledger) steals the show. It was truly the most villianous portrayl of the Joker I've ever seen. He keeps you on the edge of your seat with his tremendous acitng and his tremendously creepy new look. Plus, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) was surprisingly outstanding as well. Not so much like the Joker, but still, you got to love his performance. Also, the characters have definitely grown since Batman Begins. They've become more riching and engaging. This trilogy really has a great ensemle of actors, which is something that really works for the trilogy. Overall, this is the batman movie we've all been waiting for.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Dark knight hurts me literally not. Not because the picture is bad, it is just substantially good. A rare cinematic experience which makes me upbeat and I do feel lively. It is sharp, destructive and epic. Like what the critics have generally mentioned in their reviews- the Dark Knight is not entirely a superhero movie, it is too an epic crime thriller.

The film has the elements to be a great show. Editing shows me perfection; they are sharp, strong, and impregnable. Hans Zimmer's powerful score adds up to the excitement of the action scenes rightfully being composed and could wrap it up that to some great extent, some 'Power' values of the movie clearly belong to the music. The cinematography is beautiful; I witnessed gloomy images of Gotham City being captured. Some shots in the movie are undeniably dark, but it is well blended with beauty. I would say, a beauty in a moody mood.

Its screenplay which was being written by Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, Johathan Nolan, and David S. Goyer is a Tour De Force, a brilliant spark. In my opinion, the script, alongside with the performances, clears to me that the movie is a superhero classic. First of all, dialogues are brightly great; I am literally 'High' after paying my focus for the dialogues. Too many memorable lines for one film! They are like "Why so serious?", "Let's introduce a little anarchy", "How about a magic trick?" and much more. Im real, those dialogues punched me in the face. Well consisted of a complex storyline, devoid of clichés the writers' top notch writing ability is very much in evidence.

The Dark Knight is an acting masterclass. The actors for the film, truly delivered, I mean every single one them. True acting talents in them and Nolan's impeccable direction are proven. Christian Bale hits the right note playing both Bruce Wayne and Batman, Michale Caine is beautifully artistic, Morgan Freeman is as calm as hourglass, Aaron Eckhart is charismatic and engaging Gary Oldman is honest and Maggie Gyllenhaal is perfectly fine Through honesty I claimed that each of the actors in the movie played their 'A' game. But how about Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker? I wouldn't want to repeat the past comments which was being triggered by critics on his performance, but I gonna say this Heath Ledger is not Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, he is The Joker. I repeat, Heath Ledger is NOT Heath Ledger he IS The Joker.

I would not choose to have the notion that the film is entirely an entertaining action packed, comic book cinema, I think Christopher Nolan goes beyond that. Try bother to pay close attention to the film, one would see hidden, interesting messages in the movie, and I think, in my opinion, many of them is being injected through The Joker. For example, in the conversation between Harvey Dent/Two-Face and The Joker at a hospital, The Joker talks about events which could be labelled as reality he talks about how things will move at ease when things go according to plan, and that makes the scene very exciting to watch but surely too, backed with great acting by both. My belief is this not only that The Dark Knight is an entertaining epic cinema, it is also a fun piece to interpret.

Nolan's second Batman motion picture is easily one of the greatest superhero films ever made and it is also one of the best films of the year. Finely shot, well-acted, accurately complex and freshly interpreted, The Dark Knight is statuesque.
