The New Standard For Superhero Films
PostedJuly 18, 2008

Christopher Nolan has outdone himself, and the rest of the superhero genre as well, with The Dark Knight. A movie that would have the same impact whether it was a superhero film or not, Nolan has crafted a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
It's a beautifully shot film. When it's bright on-screen, its light and flowing. When it's dark, you feel the tension in the shadows, never knowing when someone or something will be hiding in them.
Christian Bale is wonderful as Bruce Wayne, and consequently, Batman. Here is an actor that knows his craft as well as anyone and it is evident whether you can see his face or not. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are great as the Bruce Wayne supporters in the film. Neither needed to do much in the film, but they still show why they are considered two of the greatest actors of all time.
And now to Heath Ledger. It's frightening that this was his last film, if only for the reason that it is one of the greatest portrayals of a villain ever put on screen. It's hard to recognize him under all the makeup, which I think makes it even that much more of performance, he IS The Joker.
The Dark Knight is one of the best films of 2008 and the best superhero movie of all time. It is a bit long but by the time you walk down the aisle and out of the theater, you'll already be planning when you are going to see it again.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
