Dark Knight Lights Up the Screen With Excitement!
PostedJuly 19, 2008

from Tampa, Florida
Being a former local film reviewer, I was kinf of skeptical about this sequel, but this reviewer was, once again, pleasantly surprised.
Like IRON MAN, earlier this summer movie season, THE DARK KNIGHT, the esecond ofthe revamped Baman franchise, lived up to the massive hype.
What's even more thrilling than the action was the performance of the late Heath Ledger, erasing the memory of his predecessor, Jack Nicholson, in the role of "The Joker."
British actor Christian Bale is fine as Bruce Wayne/Batman, as is Academy Award winners Michael Caine (as Alfred) and Morgan Freeman (as Lucious Fox), but the real scene stealers are Ledger and Aaron Eckhart as the crusading lawyer turned villian Harvey "Two-Face" Dent (previously played by Billy De Williams and Tommy Lee Jones).
Christopher Nolan's direction is solid as is the screenplay (credited to Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, David "Pitch Black" Goyer and BATMAN's creator, Bob Kane.). This is, however, not recommended for children under 10, as the film is quite violent.
But, for the rest of us, including this reviewer..to steal a quote from a friend who said, after seeing the 1989 version, "I had a Bat-gasm!"
Yes, I recommend this movie.
