The Dark Knight''s Tale
PostedJuly 19, 2008

"I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger," spouts Heath Ledger's demented Joker in 'The Dark Knight.' Unfortunately, eager audiences will never know the validity of this statement, because this film did kill Heath Ledger. Or maybe it was sleeping pills, but still, Ledger's performance clearly overshadows every other powerhouse actor in this film. Rarely do I agree so whole heartedly with the hype, but A Dark Knight is now easily one of my top ten favorite films of all time, and certainly the best comic book movie I've ever scene. I believe Ledger's Joker, and his evil clown comes across as so convincing, it somehow seems to cheapen Christian Bale's performance as Batman, making Bale's lines seem cartoonish. But even with the lopsided believability between Bale's Batman and Ledger's Joker, you get your money's worth with A Dark Knight. Amazing action sequences, twisted philosophical dilemmas, and so much . . . darkness. If I could say one thing to director Christopher Nolan after seeing this film it would be, "You've changed things... forever. There's no going back. See, to them, you're just a freak... like me!"
Yes, I recommend this movie.
