The Dark Knight Soars
PostedJuly 19, 2008

Easily the most anticipated movie of the year, "The Dark Knight" not only exceeds expectations but transends the genre of the superhero movie and plants itself firmly as a cinema classic. It has what has already become a legendary performance by Heath Ledger that is everything advertised but when ordinarily an acting turn like his overshadows the rest of the cast, this time he is very nearly equaled by Christian Bale's Batman, easily the most believable super hero to hit the silver screen. And the amazing Gary Oldman, deftly playing James Gordon, almost carries the movie in his scenes. And then you have Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Aaron Eckhart, all of whom turn their roles into powerful characters that hold their own even with the star turn Ledger gives us. The story itself clearly moves beyond a simple good guy vs bad guy conflict and makes us wonder about our own nature. How good are we, actually? And where the hell DID The Joker put that pencil?
Yes, I recommend this movie.
