An excellent movie, from the phenomenal special effects to the beautiful portrayal of madness from Heath Ledger's joker. A must-see.

Not factoring Ledger's death, the performance is great. The film however - not so great - being yet another soulless blockbuster disappointment. A big shiny mess of a movie. Gotham city appears so pristine and un-gothic that it may as well be set in Singapore. The mumbling, uninspiring city officials panicky instant reaction to each of the Joker's deadly plans (which ALWAYS includes something or someone being blown up) show little leadership or though. Perhaps the crime problem in Gotham City could be more easily solved by a simple re-election? As the story moves along in the usual blockbuster way we reach the ending sequence - a sequence so poorly edited and scattered it is hard to not drift off thinking about other things. Then there is Batman, whose mask seems too tight for his face causing him to speak in a ridiculously loud, nasally lisping way. This movie is as confused and schizophrenic as the Joker. Is this a Batman movie or is this a Joker movie? I don't know but the DVD cover I hold in my hand has NO reference to the character Batman apart from a small, obligatory bat symbol in the movies title - otherwise it's all about Ledger. I remember being truly surprised and taken with the "darkness" of Batman Begins. Where that film was an eerie study of Bruce Wayne's psychological childhood trauma, The Dark Knight is more a study of Bruce Wayne (as he puts it) unneeded and ready to retire. Maybe he is onto something?… Expand

Ledger WAS amazing and I get the impression that some people are giving it low scores just to prove otherwise. In other words, they're rating it low because Ledger died and they don't want to be part of the "hype." The movie brimmed with drama, emotion, and cold logic. The script was impeccable. the characters are believable and very accessible. However, the flaws with the movie were Bale's acting (in the Bat costume, jeez, if you're so rich, why can't you alter your voice with technology?) and Batman's self-struggle that made him seem like a whiny kid. This movie rivals the classics and I prefer Ledger's Joker acting to Nicholson's. The length was entirely necessary to fully develop the plot and characters and I was sitting on the edge of my seat the entire time!… Expand

Which bring all viewers to ask one question how far will batman go to get rid of the Joker and crime?

The director favors shooting much of the film in muted colors of gray and indigo and emphasizes dark shots.

The entire movie, in fact, was literally painful to sit through because I could just see how the film might have achieved the greatness it has been accoladed for. Unfortunately, The Dark Knight refuses to realize both the limitations of the audience's attention span, and how much plot one can squeeze into one film. Christopher Nolan took what, in disparate elements, are absolutely amazing aspects of a film. Logically, these should have come together in a mind-boggling display of superhero goodness. To start with, let me make it clear that Batman is my favorite superhero, hands down. Also, I should say that I did not hate Batman Begins; rather, I appreciated what Nolan was trying to do in his attempt to reboot this would-be icon of the comic world and eagerly awaited the sequel. In addition, I did not think the film was bad- but I did dislike it for approaching greatness and yet never quite achieving it. I should also say that I loved, as many people did, The Joker. Heath Ledger gives a performance to rock the ages. Never before has a villain, in anything that I've seen, reached the levels of lunacy and depravity that The Joker reached in this film. Nevertheless, I ask you, you fans of The Dark Knight, if you truly loved the film, or if you truly loved The Joker? In all honesty, the first twenty minutes, essentially the first two Joker scenes, had me on the edge of my seat. I was ready for this to bring down the house and top off my list of favorite films- how could Nolan possible steer a film down from such impressive heights? Well, as they say, the bigger they comeâ… Expand

I have never been a fan of the superhero genre, possibly because of the pre-'Batman Begins' drought of good superhero films, only broken by the 'Spiderman' trilogy.
'Batman Begins' was already a good film, but its sequel burst into the boxI have never been a fan of the superhero genre, possibly because of the pre-'Batman Begins' drought of good superhero films, only broken by the 'Spiderman' trilogy.
'Batman Begins' was already a good film, but its sequel burst into the box office to critical and commercial success, and its not hard to see why. It is a superior film in many ways to its predecessor in that it is more thrilling, clever, suspenseful and action packed than 'Batman Begins'. The strength of this film, not surprisingly, comes from the villain, played by Heath Ledger in his Oscar winning role. Ledger was sinsiter and completely unrestrained as the psychotic 'Joker', and is terrifying, but oh so enjoyable to watch. It is true that he steals the show from Christian Bale as 'Batman' himself, but this really isn't a negative.
The film has a fantastic script and a wonderful musical score, and many other positives, including an excellent technical production as well. It has restored my faith in the superhero genre, along with the other 2008 hit, 'Iron Man', and is not just a great superhero film, but one of 2008's best films overall.… Expand

The theme of the movie was superb, fully revealing the struggle and battle of order vs chaos and desperation of both law and underworld crime, with one exception, though - the raging unstoppable tornadoe, only known as the Joker. Christopher Nolan did a breathtaking job of portraying this absolute distinction of Batman and the Joker. What makes Joker work is not only Heath Ledger or Christopher's realistic approach of this madman, but also small bits and tributes of every Joker before this one (going from Ceaser Romero to Jack Nicholson, also Joker from animation series and from "The Killing Joke") and also a new distinct personality, all together mashed into this psychotic rage. He was a pure agent of chaos, delivering himself at the scene when it's too late to back out for the rest of the performers. Brilliant.
The white knight of Gotham, Harvey Two-Face Dent was also an amazing addition to the story, demonstrating how easy is to fall from the top of the idealistic law to the depths of destruction, bringing chance as the only option for fair in this cruel world.
The Dark Knight also delivers an amazing portray of what happens, when the symbol, which should incorruptable, is backed to the corner.
Overall, this movie in my oppinion one of the best movies ever made and for good reasons. Check it out! 10/10… Expand

THE DARK KNIGHT is the sixth film that brought Batman into widescreen since Tim Burton BATMAN (1989). The Director is Christopher Nolan who well-known as a unique indie film creator in MEMENTO (2000). The movie received as box office record of all-time, It has been earned more than one billion dollars in worldwide and has been broken through TITANIC Record in 1998. The Movie based on Frank Miller version of Batman, which is more mature and close to reality. The Stories and settings adapt well what is on Miller description. Christian Bale Cast as Bruce Wayne, Thiz role seems to be the big leap of his career since his appearance as a kid in Steven Spielberg EMPIRE OF THE SUN (1987). The sequel starred by regular Cast, like: James Cain, Morgan Freeman, and Maggie Gylenhall who substitute Katie Holmes Character on the prequel before. And as villains, Heath Ledger gave his last performance wildly well according to most critics. He even won as best Supporting Actor in Academy Awards. The other villain is Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face. Otherwise, if Joker character want to be appear originally well as its comic, in my opinion the dream cast would be Adrien Brody or Jim Carrey. The Script was nicely arranged by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan. The subplot is dynamic and unpredictable. The Action is on the right track, full of Bat-equipment and vehicle chase showdown. It is good to be watch is simple and explosive in the same time. If we want to be fair, we also must give credit to Tim Burton BATMAN which is already set up impressive tones for other next Batman movies or even other superhero movies later. Burton already succeeded to give a new acceptable point of view for this kind of genre. The tone is dark, mysterious, and full of realism.

"The Dark Knight" take Batman to a whole new level; its dark premise and its original screenplay make it a delight to watch and the dialogue is written so well that it should have one or have bin nominated for an Oscar in that category. Everyone gives great performances, especially Heath Ledger, and, in my opinion, Michael Caine, who has an answer for everything in this wonderful film, and who is good in pretty much everything. What I truly liked about "The Dark Knight" was that it all fit together so well. Everything worked through smoothly and swiftly, making this a truly entertaining film to watch. Plus, this gives you a story that is actually interesting, for a comic-book movie. Usually, and in past Batman films, it was an average story: Batman and a villian; in the end they square off. This films story is a lot more complex than that. But, I won't spoil anything for you, but I will say, definitley see this movie; great acting, and and great score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. 10/10 [PG-13]… Expand

Two very different movies, with the very first being more on the comic-like side. They do have lots in common nonetheless. First off, this film is about the villain - the Joker. We can`t understand him. He is crazy and an evil genius at the same time. He plays his games with perfect planning, destroying people`s lives. There is no doubt that Batman never had a more fearsome enemy and I`m glad it stayed that way like in the first movie in the series. As a movie, it couldn`t have been done so well without Heath Ledger, who eats Christian Bale for breakfast. The plot is quite complicated and surprising. The action scenes are very solid but the music beats it all. Gary Oldman plays a very good supporting role too. The thing I like very much about Dark Night is that I`m not sure if the ending is good or bad.… Expand

Batman Begins was a promising start but The Dark Knight is the finished article. This is what a superhero movie should be. This time Batman is up against the Joker who has turned the tables on a villain free Gotham and is causing mayhem throughout Gotham as he seeks the identity of Batman and Nolan's decision to cast Heath Ledger as the Joker must be the greatest decision he has ever made because it reaps the rewards. The late but great Heath Ledger excels as the Joker in delivering a career defining performance, where he steals the show and deservedly so. Aaron Eckhart is also pretty good as Harvey Dent/Two-Face with some memorable lines. The plot certainly keeps you interested from beginning to end and runs along smoothly with some spectacular scenes along the way leading you to a gripping finale. Quite simply as said before the greatest superhero film ever to grace the big screen, the outstanding acting combined with a solid plot and an awesome director shows you exactly what can be achieved.

Having said that, after repeated screenings, I now find that The Dark Knight might just have been a tad too overrated. Nolan is insightful, prodding, and careful about his characters and their evolution, but the flow and surge of the movie was too fast for me. I would have liked a few more extra minutes on the Joker and his ways, the subtleties that make him the psychotic but absolutely cunning strategist that he is, the disintegration of Batman's helplessness after running into a challenge that he has never ever even imagined. The Joker presents Batman with an insourmountable challenge - to save the love of his life, or the possible successor to his clean-up-crap-public-duty? Gary Oldman's Commissioner Gordon was another highlight for me, equally commendable was Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent portrayal. But then again, if Salvatore Marooni was as important a character in this movie (I'm presuming from the number of scenes he has), why wasn't he given more time and substance? I would have been most interested to see how the Joker dealt with Marooni in private, how their conversations would have gone. I watched it again and again to try and see if I could find anything new, but I was perplexed - couldn't the ending have been different? With all the carnage that the Joker initiated and carried out to near-perfection, how could he be so easily caught?? Or is it poetic justic and ethics that compelled Nolan to direct Batman's character into not being psychotic as the Joker's? For all the rage and anger that Batman personally came to have for the Joker's ways, I would have envisioned a brutal ending. But it didn't happen. Perhaps, that is Nolan's genius, and why we are on opposite sides of the fence! Granted that Knight is a lot better, deep, and precise than your average comic book flicks, I hope that the next time Nolan touches upon a similar subject, he will bring something out of HIS ordinary. He has a signature style - the signature Hans Zimmer haunting score, the rapidly-moving trajectory of the movie, the classic minimalist-signature scene style is all Nolan. It is amongst my favorite movies of all time, though. I wouldn't miss Ledger's Joker for anything, even three years after it came out! Ah, if only he'd been given a little more time! But I get the irony now - Nolan gave Ledger's Joker those few, illuminating scenes for the precise reason - 'if you're good in something, never do it for free', thus the sparce, rare Joker moments on screen!… Expand

It seems the whole film was overshadowed by HeathThe Dark Knight continues director Christopher Nolan's dark, dirty and pessimistic vision of the Batman saga, following on from his stunning origin story Batman Begins three years before. It seems the whole film was overshadowed by Heath Ledger's untimely death and subsequent posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Yes Ledger's Joker is utterly spellbinding, playing the Clown Prince of Crime as a terrifyingly volatile, nihilistic terrorist quite rightly received praise, but the film has far more going for it than one stand-out performance. For starters, all the cast are strong. Christian Bale reprises his role as an increasingly despairing and downtrodden Bruce Wayne/Batman, fighting a losing battle not only with the scum of Gotham city, but with the increasingly hostile public reception to his vigilante alter-ego, and with himself. Taking over from Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhaal is also good as Bruce's childhood friend and on-off love interest Rachel Dawes, and she adds a little something of her own to the role - some much-needed attitude, which is perfect for an assistant D.A. who deals with hardened criminals on a regular basis. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman bring some welcome lighter notes and comic relief to this otherwise pitch-black film as Bruce's faithful butler, friend and surrogate father Alfred, and his company CEO/gadget man Lucius Fox respectively. As for the true acting highlight of the film, I'd be hard-pressed to decide between Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart. Oldman's performance as Lieutenant Gordon is well-judged, emotionally complex, and extremely human - if Batman's war with the Joker is the main driving force for action and spectacle in the film, then Gordon's story provides the most scope for genuine drama. I also praise Eckhart for his performance as D.A. Harvey Dent, whose crusade to clean the streets of Gotham leads to his ultimate, tragic, downfall when he is horribly disfigured, becoming Two-Face. Rather than the pantomime villain Tommy Lee-Jones presented in Joel Schumacher's camptastic Batman Forever, Eckhart carefully develops Dent's character, allowing us to emotionally connect with, and understand him and his motivations, making what happens to him all the more dramatically effective. Other than the cast's performances, I think what really makes The Dark Knight is its thematic richness. The idea of duality and antithesis is continually emphasised - justice vs. injustice, order vs. chaos, Batman vs. The Joker. Even Harvey Dent, with his position openly and publicly fighting crime, is the polar opposite of Batman, a secretive, anonymous vigilante - they are two sides of the same coin, with the possibility of one becoming the other in the right (or wrong) circumstances. The film also looks beautiful, in no small part due to Nolan's use of IMAX cameras for key scenes, including The Joker's thrilling bank-heist introduction and the action-packed Gotham freeway chase. Hanz Zimmer's eerie and layered score also deserves a mention - this is not the epic, orchestral sound he made for the rise of a hero in Batman Begins, but a dark and disturbing musical accompaniment for a hero's fall. Where The Dark Knight fails is in one sub-par sequence that threatens to de-rail the whole film. Everything from the hostages on bomb-rigged boats to Batman's final confrontation with the Joker is over-blown, over-acted and thoroughly unnecessary. The film would be much better off if this sequence was deleted entirely, if the joker was dealt with more swiftly, then we could progress directly to the film's fine conclusion. Thankfully, the Nolans (Christopher and Jonathan) and David Goyer do redeem themselves for this silly, muddy segment with a brilliant, well-acted, tragic and emotional finale that ties off the story in fine fashion. So The Dark is not a perfect superhero film. Its actually debatable when a film becomes this dark and full of allegory and symbolism whether it can really be considered part of the same family as Superman, or X-Men, or even its series predecessor Batman Begins. The Dark Knight is really a crime-thriller with a heavy dose of almost Shakespearean tragedy thrown in. By throwing off the shackles of the superhero blockbuster, Nolan has allowed his series to mature, to comment on serious and relevant issues to the modern world. Christopher Nolan has created a very smart, rich, and exciting thriller that is as different to Batman Begins as is possible to be. There's very little to criticise apart from that misjudged, flabby sequence towards the end, and the film is technically superb. I just hope Nolan cheers up a bit in The Dark Knight Rises (though the trailers released thus far appear to make this unlikely) - the depressing hero movie trend is drawing to a close, and it would be nice to end his Batman series on an optimistic note.… Expand

What I'm trying to say is that there were no weak actors. To silly reviewers who rated this movie a ZERO, but only those who based their score on the amount of sadism and horrific scenes. The only thing I agree on with you is, that the age restriction/certificate should have been bumped up to +15. Otherwise, I think your reviews are pointless. Apart from that, the original Batman is a dark story (comic) which portrays pain and suffering in the exact same way or even more horrifyingly in the comic book! This is not a superhero movie for a 10 year old. Its a memoir for comic book fans and an amazing crime-thriller action movie experience for all else. It does an amazing job at showing people the Batman universe. If you expect rainbows and unicorns and magical endings, don't watch this. This is a naked and bared view of what the real world is like...and what really happens in it, but luckily for the people of Gotham, they have their fictional character who protects them. In real life all we have is jokers.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TDK isn't just a great comic book movie, it's a great movie period. Christopher Nolan left off a good starting point for TDK because of what happened at the end of BB. Gordan talking about escalation and showing the Joker card to Batman. All these things happen in TDK. The story is very compelling with the Joker as his plan is to unmask Batman or people will die. Joker's a Villain that is all about chaos and anarchy. He wants to turn the good people in Gotham bad. Deep down he feels everybody will turn on there morals in the right situations. At the beginning of the film Bruce Wayne thinks he can stop being Batman because of the help of Gotham DA Harvey Dent cleaning up the streets and the Mob. Bruce gets a glimmer of hope to get back with Rachael Dawes, but because of the escalation of criminals and villains in the city Bruce must continue being Batman. Now even though the main plot involved the Joker, the actual story was about the rise and fall of Harvey Dent . The cast was excellent as of course Heath did outstanding. Christian Bale was good again, Gary Oldman was I think pretty underated as he had a bigger role in this one. Also Aaron Eckhart was very underated to me because he kind of had to play two roles in this. Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and pretty much everybody else gives good performances as well.

For the most part everything in this film is realistic including the Two-Face visual and make up effect. The story is a bit darker this time and the film takes place more in Gotham City which is Chicago. That environment gives it a realistic feel. The soundtrack mostly of the Joker theme creates the tone for the film and there's a few other good tracks that create some of the mood for the film. The soundtrack good for the most part.

Despite there being 4 villains being Joker, Salvitore Maroni, Harvey Two- Face, Scarecrow and a criminal mob accountant named Lau and just all these other characters ,I thought that nobody was ever forced or the plot. The pacing was excellent despite the film running for 2hrs 24min of screen time and it never got slow or boring for me despite it being 144 min. So the length of the film didn't bother me. The only negatives of the film are Batman's voice , which was just a bit to growly for me and also the fight scenes such as the nightclub scene and the peice with the two boats. The scenes weren't bad but not great. So after the negative things I have said about TDK, there's definately not enough to derail the film in any way. TDK haves a good story and great plot lines, great character development and for the most part haves pretty good action. I rate this movie a 9.5/10 stars*.… Expand

Heath Ledger was pitch perfect as the Joker. His magic pencilI was completely blown away. It's probably the best superhero movie I've ever seen. The movie did have a lot of hype and expectations and to be honest, I think it exceeded them.

Heath Ledger was pitch perfect as the Joker. His magic pencil trick was um, quite effective, let's just say. Cackling and twitching, odd mannerisms ahoy, Ledger completely becomes the Killer Clown from Hell. No one's going to remember Jack Nicholson after this one. The one recurring thought I had walking out of the theater was how unfortunate it was that we wouldn't see his incredible talent again in the inevitable third feature.

Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent was also excellent. As other reviews have already said, he is the White Knight to Batman's Dark Knight. The entire central plot is pretty much designed to channel this man's fall from grace. When you first see the full reveal of Two Face's face, it's hard not to gasp. The CGI/make-up for Two Face is how he should always look, it's iconic and grotesque and realistic all at the same time.

At a running time of 2 and a half hours, this is ostensibly a rather long movie, yet it never felt that way to me. Probably the fastest 2 and a half hours I've spent in the theaters. From the opening bank robbery to the sobering finale, I was completely captivated by this epic crime tale from Chris Nolan. Yes, this is not simply a feel good superhero movie like Iron Man (which I enjoyed a lot), but an honest to God HEAT-esque crime drama. For some people, this may not be a good thing. They may complain that it wasn't light hearted enough, that it was disturbing to peer into the heart of darkness in a city without hope. For those people, yes... please go elsewhere. Maybe go watch Mamma Mia. For the rest of us, The Dark Knight is a night to remember. This should've won Best Picture at the Oscars. What other superhero film can you actually say that about? What Christopher Nolan did with Batman and The Joker is simply the stuff of legend. You can't just look at it as a comic book movie, you can't just look at it as an action flick, you can't just look at it as a crime drama... it's a mindblowing masterpiece of cinema. Nolan took a franchise that had become known for "Chill out, bird boy!" and somehow managed to craft a dark epic that would become the third highest grossing film of all time. To make that sort of herculean effort with minimal CGI in today's environment... the man is simply a visionary genius.

And Heath Ledger... what is there left to say about Heath Ledger? He didn't win the Oscar because he died. It wasn't a sympathy vote. He deserved it, by portraying The Joker in a way wholly unlike anything we'd ever seen before. **** Cesar Romero, **** Jack Nicholson, and **** Mark Hamill. Ledger will always be The Joker now. So many quotable lines, and even a second villain that felt natural and meshed with the plot. Who could forget that brilliant hospital scene with our first glimpse at Two Face? The way Nolan teased at it, turning his head away at just the right moment to heighten the suspense. And then the actual reveal, and hearing the gasps in the audience. Just great iconic moments.

Another iconic scene: the interrogation room. What a wonderful way to subvert the traditional interrogation. Start it in darkness, but then shift into bright light, contrasting the white room with the blackness of Batman. Also reflecting the two warring sides of Two Faces. The Batman pummels the Joker, yet somehow still ends up being helpless while the Joker is holding all the cards. This isn't the sort of stuff you expect from a superhero action film. That's why it's so wonderful. Just as the Joker turned Gotham upside down, this film has completely turned its genre upside down. My favorite scene is the ending monologue from Commissioner Gordon: "Because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a Dark Knight." BAM. The title card finally comes onscreen. If that didn't affect you in some manner after witnessing the last 2 and a half hours, you're just not human.… Expand

I liked the Joker, he was a much more effective villain than what I saw of the Scarecrow and Bane. Bruce Wayne didn't seem to have much of an impact on me, but he certainly had quite a few things to say, whether they were mildly significant or extremely amusing. It was dark and thrilling, but there were a few things in here that just made it feel silly. I enjoyed the sociological aspect of choosing between two boats and the way it didn't play on the assumption that when things happened, it wasn't for money. Amazing set design, would've liked to see more contribution from Wayne, good interaction between different characters and the rapid shifting between scenes is a real problem. Still, it was fascinating and was glad I saw it.… Expand

This film is the darkest Batman, as well as one of the darkest, violent and gripping films, ever made. In short the film surpasses the hype for a comic superhero flicks. Acting & dialogues were so great especially the late Heath Ledger who stole the show plus the brilliant minded director C.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a master-piece. Heath Ledger and Christian Bale have made not a batman sequel, but an original and thrilling movie that consist of events that are in the course of human nature. A hero that Gotham needs, but not at the moment, Bruce Wayne is there to save Gotham from the Joker, who is clever enough to twist the tables. After the White Knight, or Harvey Dent falls to the pressure of being what The Joker considers to be the Dark Knight, it is revealed that that's what he wanted all along. Not to get in a fist-fight with Batman, but to turn Gotham's white knight into a tragic figure that dies due to the want for revenge. Not only is this a great film, but Ledger's legendary performance. It differs greatly from earlier portrayals of The Joker. In the end, he is a sadistic, clever, and brutal character that comes from Ledger directly. The dialogue is perfect. The effects are even more well done and attribute to the overall look of the film. Deep down, physiology of the brain gets the best of Dent who turned into a monster thanks to the Joker's numerous problems that need to be solved by Gordon, who is played expertly by Gary Oldman. The cinematography is brilliant. The props, the city...everything. What we learn is that sometimes the hero isn't who we think it is. There's always people who believe in good, and people who believe in the bad. What it comes down to, is whether or not you'd love a great movie like The Dark Knight. A+… Expand

With one of the best ensemble performances in a blockbuster, The Dark Knight catapults itself away from its rebooted predecessor, 'Batman Begins" into one of the greatest superhero movies ever made.
We see Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) return as the caped crusader, dealing with copycats is the least of his worries, as he has been dealt countless obstacles and now tragedies, and now the emergence (and most haunting incarnation) of the Joker, played by the ever talented and late Heath Ledger.
What is so intriguing about Ledgers Joker is his simplicity, he is a man not quite easy to please, with no lust for money or anything of that nature, he simply wants to 'introduce a little anarchy'.
We are also introduced to District Attorney Harvey Dent, attempting to lawfully clean up Gotham's streets through imprisoning the kingpins and criminals that occupy the city.
What ensues is glorious set pieces, but too CGI laden, they look realistic to the point that it is believable in front of you. We also see the introduction of the BatPod, a new vehicle used by our vigilante which again, sets up some wonderful scenes involving this new machine. The tone of the film has definitely shifted to a much more sombre and gritty tale compared to 'Begins', adding more emotional depths to each character, no stone seems to have been left unturned when it comes to outlining each main cast member in terms of us knowing exactly why they are there and what is going on in their life. It's remarkable to have such depth for so many characters, but we do care for them, and when tragedy strikes its difficult not to feel for the characters on screen.
The writing is excellent, especially for the Joker, he runs away easily with the most defining moments of the film , whether he's doing magic tricks or dressing up as a nurse, his persona is set in particular scene when he's trying to detonate a bomb, I believe the seconds to follow where completely unscripted, and Ledger just went with the character he created, utter brilliance.
Theres also a standout performance for Bale himself as Batman, he has a lot on his plate considering the public don't quite know what to think of him, hero? Villain? He clearly does doubt himself in many moments throughout the film which can all be portrayed through Bales superb acting.
Alfred (Michael Caine) returns as Bruces faithful butler, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) returns as Bruces genius friend and new head of Wayne Enterprises, and Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes as Bruce's childhood friend and love interest Rachel Dawes.
While the despair is in heaps here, there are a few comedic moments, particularly with the Joker, but this is a new benchmark in superhero realism, and this film hits heights that were perhaps too hard to follow (I reviewed this AFTER reviewing TDKR).
Its epic on so many elements and wasn't afraid to drastically change the pace, with a successful outcome, The Dark Knight can be seen as unbelievable, and exasperatingly good on all accounts.
It will put a smile on that face...… Expand

Heath Ledger's impressive role as the Joker was of non-stop scares and his villainous crime/tension helped The Dark Knight outdo the other Batman films. If you don't like this, increase your sense of suspense.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets get straight to the point. The plot is set out to perfection. it doesnt rush itself and tells the story brilliantly. The way it elegently portrays the jokers sick humor when threatning the 2 boats containing prisoners and citizens and not to mention the tension when one boat has to blow up the other leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat. The film also shows that batman is shown not be a unbeatable hero and has a side of realism that christopher nolan directs really well. But my favourite thing about the dark knight is the excellent acting of the late heath ledger and his role of the joker is quirky, sinister and what makes the dark knight one of my favourite films of all time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Dark Knight is definitely one of the darkest Superhero films of all-time. What Nolan has accomplished with this series is nothing short of remarkable. Some people say the movie is too long but hey, most great movies are. Heath Ledger's role as the Joker was fascinating. How he was able to totally and completely transform into the ultimate villain shows what an incredible actor he was. He was able to perfectly capture exactly why the Joker is the best villain ever in exposing the dynamic between the Joker and Batman's relationship. Christian Bale and the rest of the cast was phenomenal as well and the acting was superb from top to bottom. There were a few disappointments. The first was that Katie Holmes was by Maggie Gyllenhaal. It breaks up the continuity from the first film and let's face it, Maggie Gyllenhaal isn't attractive at all. Are you seriously telling me there weren't any other pretty and talented brunettes in Hollywood who could replace Katie? If you're going to replace someone in a film series, which I truly hate doing, always upgrade. Secondly, I was really disappointed with Two-Face's quick departure. In the canon, other than the joke, Two-Face is the ultimate villain against Batman. Yes, it felt right in the movie so I can't hold that against it but as a fan of the lore, it was a bit of a disappointment for sure. The last thing is that the plot felt more
unrealistic in this film than in the last one. Most of the major plot points rely on unreliable or fantastical elements. These are all within my suspension of disbelief for the film but Batman Begins didn't
contain as much of this. All in all, amazing movie and truly the best superhero sequel of all-time. RIP Heath Ledger.… Expand

The movie begins with a bank robbery by an unknown group of robbers. Later into the robbery, it is revealed that these robbers are working for the Joker. It is also revealed that this is one of the Mob's banks. Each robber, disguised in clown masks, is given an order to kill their partner when are finished with their job. That leaves two clowns standing, one which is revealed to be the Joker himself. A stolen bus is used to carry away the bags of money. When Lieutenant Jim Gordon arrives on the scene, they find video of the Joker taking off his clown mask. This scene kind of points out who the main antagonist of the movie will be. Gordon also discovers that this money is indeed "mob" money. You soon find out the members of the mob, when the Joker interrupts one of their meetings. He states what is his and should be the mob's objective: "to kill the Batman". Later, he announces that if the "real" Batman does not turn himself in, then there will be deaths starting "tonight". The first deaths are Commissioner Loeb, and a judge who formerly tried members of the mob. Harvey Dent, the District Attorney, was attempted to be killed. The next day, a death threat against the mayor is made in the obituary section of the Gotham newspaper. Gordon and his team stand guard as the memorial for Commissioner Loeb is being held. The honor guards turn out to be the Joker's men and they all attempt to shoot the mayor as he speaks, but Gordon pushes him down and is shot. Barbara Jim's wife, is notified that he is dead. After those deaths, Bruce Wayne decides to adhere to the Joker's wishes and turn himself in. When Harvey Dent holds a press conference, the Batman is revealed to all to be Harvey Dent. Of course, this is incorrect but Harvey announces that he is, before Bruce can say it himself. Harvey is then attempted to be captured by the Joker while he is being transported by a Detective Ramirez. This fails, and Harvey and his girlfriend Rachel Dawes are transported by cops Ramirez and Wuerst in separate cars, while the Joker is captured by a supposedly deceased Jim Gordon. Harvey and Rachel never get home however, and are instead sent to separate locations in the city. The Joker soon escapes from holding, but before he does so he gives the location of Rachel and Harvey, switching them around, telling them that they are strapped to drums of gas, rigged to blow. Harvey and Rachel are given a phone to communicate with. Batman goes for Rachel, while Gordon and his team go for Harvey. Batman ends up saving Harvey, but not before half of his face is burnt by the exploding drums. Later, the Joker announces that the city will be his in a matter of hours. Gordon sends a ferry of prisoners and a ferry full of civilians away from Gotham. It is revealed however that the ferrys are rigged to explode and each ferry is given the other ferrys detonator as part of a social experiment by the Joker to see who will blow each other up first. The location of the Joker is found and Batman soon captures him. Harvey kills the cop that drove him to his location, based on the flip of a coin, and captures Jim's family. Jim's son is almost killed before Batman shows up, unintentionally killing Harvey. Batman then tells Gordon that he and his men will have to has him, and that marks the end of the movie. This movie was great, with an excellent plot, terrific villains, and characters you really care for. Even if yo are not a Batman fan, it is still a must see movie. Director Christopher Nolan once again shows his superb movie making skills in the latest installment of the Batman series: "The Dark Knight".… Expand

Batman Begins was a brilliant film but Chris Nolan really brought things up a notch with The Dark Knight. The dark and realistic tone is nailed once again thanks to some brilliant direction and writing and once again, everyone plays their parts perfectly, both the returning cast and the newcomers. And of course the most notable newcomer has to be Heath Ledger as the Joker. His performance is one of the biggest reasons as to why this film is so amazing, Heath's portrayal of the Joker is the best of them all and it is such a same that Heath is no longer with us. The scenes that involve just The Batman and The Joker are some of the best scenes not just in the film but in cinema in the last few years. The Joker is so genius and evil that it is almost impossible to stop watching when he is on screen, many people say The Joker is the best thing about this film and you cannot blame them. Another brilliant aspect of this film is how thought provoking it is, some scenes truly made me think about what I would do if I was in the same position as the characters, even after the film has stopped. Overall it's hard to fault this film, it may have a few slow and boring parts like Batman Begins but its all relevant to the story and just gets outweighed by everything else. If you watch superhero films for just fun and excitement then The Dark Knight may be a bit too deep for you, but for everyone else this film is an absolute must see!… Expand
