Do Believe the Hype

Where do I start. First off going into this movie I had the expectations of this being another "good" superhero movie with explosions and fights and saving the girl from which I would walk away saying "that was a pretty good movie." Instead I got one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. This movie takes batman to a much deeper darker level that is as intellectually rich as any other movie I've seen. This is a far cry from the Adam West era Batman. The plot delves not only into the corruption and the humanity and the depravity of Gotham, but of Batman and another character that I won't say and ruin the movie for you. To sum it up, I didn't expect to go into this movie and have to think, but I ended up coming out pondering and wondering about the points made in this film. Of course though you can't forget the actors, and they all shine, though some more than others. Christian Bale as batman portrays very well the all too vulnerable and human side of batman letting us see that batman is just a regular guy like everyone else. The man who plays Harvey Dent in the film does an outstanding job throughout and in his "transformation" (see the movie and it'll make sense). Of course though the best for last. Heath Ledger's portrayal of the joker is what makes this film. He pulls off the complete insanity of this character. His acting makes the character so deep and disturbed that it makes the whole movie. To sum it all up, Dark Knight is not your everyday superhero movie. This movie is much more deep and darker than any other superhero movie I've seen, and I'd go beyond that and say most other movies I'v seen. Thats not to say this is the scariest or most graphically violent film, because its not. What makes it great is that you feel part of this movie, and it makes you think about how closely knit evil and good are. Definitely check this film out.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
