comic book movies either do two things. they fail, or they live up to the hype. here comes the dark knight, and this movie created a third dimension to this. it surpassed everything that has ever held a super hero movie back, it has not just lived up to the hype, it has surpassed it in full, this is, without a doubt, the best super hero movie ever created. period. it brought the characters to a whole different level. the best batman movie, best super hero movie, best comic book movie, and best movie of this year so far.

 

The Dark Knight is a dark masterpiece!

 

i have no complaints about this movie. every camera shot is handled with care, and the action is filmed perfectly.

 

speaking of action, lets talk about it. the effects and action in this movie is very realistic, so it is somewhat restricted. but it also has some sequences where it will make the fan boys of batman go crazy, and one part of the movie in particular will do what it did to everyone in the theater. when this particular thing happened, everybody in the theater said one word. "woah". it really is incredible.

 

the story line of this movie is to hard to explain within this blog. heck, it's to much to explain in 10 pages. here's the main dealio.

you have the dark knight himself, batman, who wants to be a symbol to everyone in gotham, he tries to be a symbol that can go beyond the law and do things the police can't do. he's trying to be the hero in the shadows.

then you have harvey dent, who is trying to uphold all the laws and still be a symbol himself, trying to make a perfect democracy, yet at the same time, his way of thinking is it's ok to have a batman as long as he is on the right side of the law.

then you have the joker...and he is trying to tear apart anything that will keep things held together. he is trying to rip economy to shreds using what batman uses against criminals. fear, and wits, along with a little catch. the catch for batman, a dark figure that watches you in the night. the catch for the joker, a man who is insane, but has the wit that can be compared to the most incredible minds in the world. you will see what i'm talking about when you see it.

 

and the acting for the joker is really the only acting anyone cares about in this movie, and it is done perfectly. the joker will scare you, the joker will make you laugh. the joker will make you sweat, and the joker will make sense to you. just as much as he will confuse you. he is played perfectly.

 

don't read this anymore. it's pointless, because bottom line, one of the best movies i have ever seen.

 

The Dark Knight gets a perfect 10 out of 10. you owe it to yourself, go see this movie.
