The dark knight review

The dark knight is an OSCAR nominated superhero film which tells the story of Batman's struggle with the terrifying joker. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan and stars Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in his last film. The film was released in 2008 and has a 12 certificate. It is the sixth in the Batman franchise. And the best by far.

I didn't like BATMAN BEGINS much, as I found it too dark and not that fun, but I didn't mind it. I have yet to view the original BATMAN. BATMAN RETURNS was truly terrible, but Danny Devito was good. BATMAN FOREVER was quite good but not astonishing. The best thing in it was Jim Carrey. I enjoyed BATMAN AND ROBIN.

The dark knight is amazing. There aren't many words that can describe the experience it gives. It is breathtaking in every sense, shape and form. The only thing I don't like about it is that the 12A certificate probably should be an 15. The movie is pretty hardcore. The character of the Joker is very scary.

The action is breathtaking and beautifully filmed. It is swift, thrilling. The movie is truly awesome. Epic stuff. But  the sheer magic of this dark and gritty masterpiece doesn't stop there. The emotional content is powerful and poetic and the showdown- the physical and mental confrontation- between a dark, mysterious superhero and a terrifying, evil criminal mastermind is utterly unmissable.

The acting in this movie hits a number 10/10 on the wow factor. Christian Bale, Michael Caine and the rest are all great, but Heath Ledger's performance is truly, genuinely outstanding. He is terrifying, filled with flair and has become the most scary comic book villains ever. Well, one of the most scary certainly.

Final verdict: A breathtaking superhero film that is filled with terrific performances, outstanding action scenes and complex and affecting emotional content, the dark knight is unmissable.
