The Dark Knight

By Sandor Hugert

 

This is by far the most anticipated movie of the year, and it actually managed to deliver most of its expectations.  It’s a fairly long movie as it is about two hours and thirty minutes but it was worth it as it had enough time to cram many things into this great movie.  The story was top notch in the movie and the action was amazing as well, except that there wasn’t as much action as one might expect from an average superhero movie.  The actors all gave a top-notch performance except Batman’s deep voice still just doesn’t really fit into the movie just like in Batman Begins.  You cannot talk about this movie without mentioning Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker.  He really nailed the Joker and just added something extra to this already great movie.  There was just something about his performance that made you laugh every time he showed up on screen because that is just how good he did playing the Joker.  This movie without the Joker would not have even been better then Batman Begins but because of the great character it managed to top the first Batman movie.  I’m sure that there will be a Batman 3, but I’m not sure if it will even come close to how good this one was without Heath Ledger as the Joker if they even put the Joker into the next one which I highly doubt.  Overall, this one of those few times when a highly anticipated movie actually manages to deliver and it really was an awesome movie.

 

Score:  9 out of 10
