A Night with "Knight"

Of course I can't start a review without making ANOTHER cliche comment about the hype and how irritating it was. But I can say, very frankly, that this movie truly delivered. The film ran a lengthy 2.5 hours - I didn't even notice. The performances were all top-notch: Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Christian Bale, and Heath Ledger were all stupendous. Once again to make another cliche comment, I found Ledger's performance both gripping and moving. Now THAT is great acting: putting all that you are into a role, even if it takes a piece of you away when you're done. As a kid, I loved the satirical metaphor of Two-Face's presence as a villain and seeing him in this movie EPITOMISED by Aaron Eckhart was more than fulfilling. They couldn't have cast a better actor - such a beautiful man on one hand, and a true monster, physically and psychologically on the other hand. I loved the graphics and the play with light that Nolan carries out with the crispness of a director that is neither unsure or intimidated by the task. I think the world's rather animalistic urge to see this movie was what fueled its creation, and not the other way around. We've all been waiting for a great superhero movie, with a clear message and morals as well as all the desired action. Dark Knight delivers. And then some.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
