Dark Knight Delivers!
PostedJuly 19, 2008

At the beginning of "The Dark Knight" I noticed Gotham was not the dark place it had been in previous movies. Hope of a cleaner Gotham with the mob locked away by D.A. Harvey Dent looms on the horizon. That all changes as the criminally insane Joker helps drop the city back into hell.
"The Dark Knight" is both dramatically and visually stunning. The performance by Ledger was by far, his greatest ever. In comparison to Nicholson's portrayal in 1989, Ledger's performance is superior. The Joker is a maniacal murderer rather than the goofy character in the 1989 movie. You don't come away laughing at this Joker, as he is far too demented. Some have suggested that Ledger's performance is oscar worthy and I would agree.
Christian Bale may be the best actor to ever play the Batman role. His constant struggle of being the defender of Gotham while seeking to live a "normal" life is brought to life by Bale. Supporting roles are also full of great performances.
Overall, "The Dark Knight" is the best film I've seen over the summer and there have been quite a few good films, super hero or not. I was surprised by the PG-13 rating, as there was quite a bit of violence and situations that should have earned it an R rating. Small kids beware. Overall, well worth the price of admission and next time I'll see it in imax.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
