Best (Batman) Movie Ever
PostedJuly 21, 2008

It's difficult to cut throught the hyperbole surrounding "The Dark Knight." It is not the PERFECT movie.
However, it is a great movie. It takes what you would expect going into a comic book movie and turns it on its head. The late Heath Ledger's Joker is conceived, written and played brilliantly. He's like no other comic movie villain. He won't threaten a victim and then wait long enough for the hero to swoop in and save the day.
In fact, he goes so far you don't know whether to laugh or feel disgusted by him. And, he plays so well into the movie's overall plot. Are we all really one good push away from becoming the animal the Joker is and says we are, too?
The film, thanks to the wild card that is the Joker, is filled with tension and you can feel the excitement and fear as if it were your own world burning.
The entire cast is strong. Aaron Eckhart puts in a good turn as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, the tragic white knight of Gotham. He has the most character development in the movie, and Eckhart plays his fall from grace with great pathos. Also, the action here is a step up from its predecessor, 2005's "Batman Begins."
It's almost so good you don't want to see another Batman movie. How can they top this?
