Transcendental comic movie
PostedJuly 19, 2008

from Detroit, MI
For a comic book movie to be a success, it either needs to embrace and be true to its comic book roots knowing full well that it is a comic movie (IRON MAN) or it needs to transcend the comic genre and be a movie in and of itself. You forget that movie owes its roots to a 4-color pulp. It is the latter that THE DARK KNIGHT occupies.
This movie is great. The story is dark and complex with rich characters and an engaging story.
Words cannot begin to describe the brilliance of Heath Ledger as the Joker. He is psychotic and frightening and not because of the makeup.
Watching Aaron Eckhart's character of Harvey Dent develop is also fantastic. Here is a guy who is dedicated and driven by passion and then you watch as it twists inside.
Christian Bale does another great performance, seamlessly switching from Batman to his fascade Bruce Wayne. My only complaint is that still, his Batman growl seems forced.
The rest of the cast does a great job too.
Watch also for the well directed and framed visuals.
Watch this movie
Yes, I recommend this movie.
