The film was an extraordinary achievement in the BATMAN franchise. No origin story arcs needed! THE DARK KNIGHT was simply stylistic as a superhero film that wasn't. It's a movie about the criminal underground and their motives for keeping society at bay through fear and intimidation. To go up against them, one must almost become them? A fantastic analysis of this very notion and executed with perfection.
Heath Ledger makes you forget there was ever another JOKER on film, and should this arch villain return to the series God help the actor who will have to fill the shoes of this gifted actor who was taken from us before his time. This film works on so many levels. It's a comic book film, a mob film, a crime thriller, a drama - it resonates with passion and all things which make the movie-going experience so exciting and magical.
The score by Hans Zimmer is one of the best in as many years as I can remember. Chris Nolan is a filmmaker who does so much with so little of today's overused CGI, and dare I say that the spectacle is as good as, if not better than, any blockbuster on the summer slate fighting for the dollar of patrons in a weakened economy.
Long live THE DARK KNIGHT!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
