I really think people might have fell into the hype of this movie a lot too much, besides Heath Ledger this movie is not that good. I can think of one word to describe this movie and that word is OVERRATED.

Incredible. Just incredible. Heath Ledger, Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart's performances are the most superb I've seen since The Godfather. It's amazing how well Christopher Nolan captured the lives of these remarkable people.

The Dark Knight is the superior Batman. This is what 1989 Batman should have been.Smart writing, smart direction, and incredible action sequences. Heath Ledger is the true Joker.

As the second movie in The Dark Knight trilogy it proves to bring Batman's arch nemisis back more dangerous and insane than ever seen before. Plot: Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is dedicating to protecting the peace of Gotham as the vigilante Batman. However, many have been inspired by him and are now copying his suit and killing those making him look bad after he vowed to himself never to directly kill. After his alter ego had recieved much critism, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) a growing power in the Gotham police department is very inspired by Batman changing his title to The Dark Knight as Batman disregards the law in order to preserve peace. Harvey Dent on the other hand is considered The White Knight as he preserves peace to the best of his ability while abiding by the law. The Joker (Heath Ledger) is a criminal mastermind who keeps plaguing Gotham with his sick psycotic plans to make it burn. Wayne cannot allow this and makes it his goal to make sure The Joker is stopped once and for all as he is making Gotham suffer after every move. Comparison to Batman Begins: The Dark Knight upgrades Batman's technology within his suit making him more of a badass then he already was as well as the Batmobiles ability to divide into a Batcycle. Batman also fights his arch nemesis and is already an established character whearas in Begins he was rising to heroism. Compared to Batman: The Joker is more dangerous than he was before due his coordinated attacks that aren't meant to financially fuel him, but more into watching the world burn. Batman is also more of a badass due to his more evolved Bat suit. In The Dark Knight though The Joker does not have an origin story. My opinion: This movie should be watched by anyone to witness the true wrath of the Joker and Batman's true heroism as they constantly duel their beliefs throughout the movie.… Expand

Nolan managed to harness everything that was great in "Batman Begins" and augment those qualities to a near epic degree. He even added some newer things of his own creation into the mix. I speak, of course, of Heath Ledger's Academy-Award Winning Joker. Virtually every line out of Heath's mouth in this movie is amazing. In fact the entire script of this movie contains these little hidden gems that Nolan just flicks at your head throughout the entire film. However, it's Heath's performance that still reigns surpeme in this film overall. He and Nolan not only created an Oscar-Winning character, but a character that has had a pretty deep impact on pop culture. Aaron Eckhart did a good job as the tragic Harvey Dent character. All of the other actors were fantastic as well - including Bale's continually impressive Bruce Wayne/Batman performance. On a technical level, the production design and set pieces in the film were absolutely magnificant. I also felt Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard did another wonderful job in crafting the score for this film. Overall, Christopher Nolan manages to create a sequel that is not only better than the original, but he manages to craft my favorite movie of all 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

This is not a blockbuster either. It is an excellent film, if not the best in special effects, if not as picturesque as they were earlier, it does not matter: Batman has essentially unlike other blockbusters is visually attractive, excitingThis is not a blockbuster either. It is an excellent film, if not the best in special effects, if not as picturesque as they were earlier, it does not matter: Batman has essentially unlike other blockbusters is visually attractive, exciting and above all, deep and disturbing.
In this sequel, our hero (Christian Bale) must face a new enemy The Joker (Heath Ledger), extremely dangerous individual, who will head to Gotham and its legal system. Batman has his faithful assistants: the butler Alfred (Michael Caine) and the scientist and his company right arm Lucius (Morgan Freeman), his old flame Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gylenhall, replacing Katie Holmes), Commissioner Gordon Gary Oldman, thank god), and the district attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), who, as many know, will later become the villain Two-Face.
The actors did an excellent job in his performance, but the teacher, the idol, the incomparable, glorious God in this film is nothing more and nothing less than Heath Ledger, really exceeded many of its actions to reincarnate the madman and worst enemy Batman, the Joker.
The joker in this film is not a lot of criminal and, unlike others, does not seek money, which makes it an extremely dangerous to be without remorse or reason in their actions. The Joker is an agent of chaos, whose actions directly impact Batman and Gotham's residents, but beyond the screen so that the fight against Batman called it an excuse to go throwing small statements about the nature of human being, of a supposed goodness of their irrationality, their need to have heroes and limitations of these champions of justice.
Moreover, we will see some personal aspects of life as Bruce Wayne Batman: inability to hold a formal relationship with Rachel and the possibility that it is for another man: Harvey. But this love triangle is far from being a key feature shoehorned, only an instrument for the resolution of the plot.

The result: The glorious Starring of Heath Ledger, a dark and excellent history, expléndidas performances, an excellent score, a epia direction from Nolan glorious, incredible action scenes and excellent result:
The best film of the decade 2000, would be a sin not to see. Do not be disappointed. My Score: 100 definitely.… Expand

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 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

Superior to all three Spider-Man installments and even its amazing predecessor in terms of conceptualization, writing, acting, and direction, Nolan's follow-up to Batman Begins is a dark, complex and disturbing film, not the least of which because it grafts its heroics onto the blueprint of actual reality rather than that of spandex-clad supermen. And while such a distinction may make little difference to those already eagerly anticipating the return of the caped crusader, suffice it to say that The Dark Knight qualifies as the first official comic book adaptation that truly succeeds in being a great artistic achievement in its own right.… Expand

The Dark Knight has too much of the coldness found on Batman's comics, and for this reason it's maybe one of the best superhero movie. I refuse talking about Ledger's Joker because talking about his genial acting is like raining on the wet.

This is the best superhero movie, or perhaps, the best movie ever made. The acting is brilliant, the script was great, and the villain was one of the most realistic ones I've ever seen. It has that dark sense to it as every superhero Nolan film does.

How crazy is it that, 3 weeks later, another film was released that ended up being considered one of the greatest of all-time? "The Dark Knight" somehow managed to do that. It's beautifully written, it's thrilling, it's dark, it feels like a Batman movie should, it's brilliantly filmed, and it features possibly one of the greatest acting performances in a superhero film in Heath Ledger's Joker. The other actors are great, sure, but it's Ledger that steals the show here, providing a tremendous, powerful and terrifying performance as one of the most iconic villains of all time. There's no two ways about it, "The Dark Knight" is cinematic excellence, and regardless of your feelings towards superhero films, it's an absolute must-watch.… 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

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

This is an accomplished and subversive work, and the most fully realised ofFirst of all, there is no doubt that the reputation of this film, and Heath Ledger's performance, were bolstered by his untimely death. That makes no difference. This is an accomplished and subversive work, and the most fully realised of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy - its predecessor did little more than establish the foundations of this film, whilst its successor lacked focus or a satisfying conclusion.

"The Dark Knight", on the other hand, is an expansive, complex and soulful masterpiece of film, which spearheaded the re-evaluation and acknowledgement of the superhero genre as an art form capable of producing stories as daring, layered and emotive as standard art house fare, or modernist literature and being good for more than just action and special effects. This film is masterfully designed, scored, edited, acted, and shot, reminiscent both stylistically and in terms of storytelling as the classic thrillers of the 1970s. Much like New York City in "Taxi Driver", Nolan's Gotham breathes, and so do the characters, who are understood as real people and compelled to act as such, rather than just vehicles transporting the viewer from one action set piece to the next. Both Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart are fantastic, offering nuanced and desperate portraits of virtuous men broken by their own goodness. They deserved Oscar nominations as much as Heath Ledger. As for Heath Ledger, it is an astonishing piece of acting whether he lived to see it on-screen or not. He is explosive, twisted, visceral, and utterly terrifying - and damn near impossible to take your eyes off of.

Is this is a perfect film? There's one too many leaps of logic involved, so it falls short, but only by a minuscule margin. This is certainly one of the best films I've seen - a grand and operatic morality play, breathtakingly colossal, searingly intimate, and unbearably sad. Detractors may try to use Heath Ledger's death to discredit its success as circumstantial. I remind you: nobody from "The Avengers" died.… 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 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.

Nothing else has ever come even remotely close. These seven films (I include 'Superman II' because it was mostly Donner's work)--and Nolan's trilogy especially--are what I imagine a great director like Kubrick, Hitchcock or Kurosawa would have come up with, if they had ever been asked to make a Superman or Batman movie. They are the easiest for an audience to identify with because in these the scripts most approximate human emotions and the typical conundrums of the human experience--in short, are the closest, in a good way, they come to the complexities of the human condition.

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

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

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.
Ultimately its Nolan at his very very best and i can think of no higher praise than that.… Expand

Pulp has never been so artistic. Chris Nolan's neo-shakespearean magnum opus soars across the cinema hall, proving to the world that sometimes even comic-book adaptations can be worthy of novelistic ambition. Despite being a blockbuster, thePulp has never been so artistic. Chris Nolan's neo-shakespearean magnum opus soars across the cinema hall, proving to the world that sometimes even comic-book adaptations can be worthy of novelistic ambition. Despite being a blockbuster, the Dark Knight deals with dark thematic issues most movie never touch like - the road to fascism is paved with good intentions, idealism is always easier to corrupt than greed, light always coexists with darkness (or as the Joker would say freaks attract freaks) and perhaps most disturbing of all, the Dark Knight proclaims that in a world where there is no justice there's no way to fight the system without falling into corruption, apathy or worse. Nolan wants us to take a good long look at the brutally bleak streets of Gotham and reflect on its striking perspicuous similarities to our own post 9/11 world. It makes us wonder if nature in it's most elementary form is governed by chaos and the structures we've erected just create an illusion of harmony (or is it the other way around?).… Expand

Nolan brings us a mature and surprising Batman´s universe, with characters well made, including the Joker, the most impressive of all. Heath Ledger gives life to a scary, cold, shocking and overwhelming villain, that faces all Batman's limits with an unmerciful psychological game at absolutely flawless and triumphant performance. With a tense, accurate and efficient score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, led by the realistic and audacious proposal from Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight is engaging and powerful, being the best adaptation of a comic-book to the cinema.… Expand

No film has ever portrayed chaos so well. Ledger gave one of the best performances in cinema history, Nolan's masterful directing has never been more prominent, weaving The Dark Knight into the best action movie ever made. The Dark Knight is a beautiful tale of destruction, a flawless take on crime, and a plea to mankind's nature. Christopher Nolan creates a world where being a hero is a double edged sword, at best, and yet that hero keeps doing his job. An absolutely fantastic piece of work, that every person on this world should see.… Expand

The Dark Knight is as much of a superhero film as it is a horrifying tragedy. With excellent casting, twisted and sickening characters and a devious plot make this the most outstanding Batman film in history. 10/10

He will alwaysAn epic follow up to Batman Begins this movie is better than the first one since it stars Batman's most famous and iconic villain The Joker, now better than ever! One of Heath Ledger's best and last performance before he died. He will always be remembered for this role. Also Aaron Eckhart's performances as Harvey dent was good, while his performances as Two-Face was both haunting and awesome. And the way they brought to life that two-faced look was amazing. And the Dark Knight's costume has been upgraded so now he can move his neck and pack in more awesome gadgets. An absolutely incredible movie for every DC fan boy to see! All it took was some insanity and craziness to make this film so amazing. And don't forget to see it's sequel The Dark Knight Rises!… Expand

The Dark Knight is the closest any superhero movie has come to "perfect" with transcendent dialogue, a sturdy plot and marvelous casting including Heath Ledger's iconic portrayal of The Joker all assured under Christopher Nolan's masterful direction.

It truly is an outstanding CBM, and a great film in general. The acting, the cinematography, and writing are all top notch. There's not much else I can say that hasn't already been said.
