This is not JUST a Superhero Movie
PostedJuly 23, 2008

While the movie is based off Batman, by no means is this your everyday comic book movie.
The Dark Knight is nothing short of a complete masterpiece.
I watched the movie twice (once in a regular theater, and once in IMAX).
And the Movie was even better the second time around. This is an incredibly deep movie on all scales. From production to story. Watching the movie for the second time just helps you absorb everything and really appreciate what has been created.
I'm not gonna talk about all performances, except, of course Heath Ledger.
Heath Ledger's interpretation of the Joker is officially the best movie villain I have ever seen. Yes even better than Darth Vader. Why? Because Anakin was actually a positive character in the beginning, and in the Return of the Jedi he also ended on a positive note. Darth Vader was under the control of the Emperor.
The Joker is not answering to anyone. The Joker does exactly what the Joker wants to do and whenever the Joker wants to do it. He's not being influenced by anyone but his inner thoughts and emotions. Its one thing to be evil when someone is influencing you, but its a whole different thing when your inner thoughts and emotions want you to disperse Chaos.
When I first heard of Ledger playing the Joker, I thought "WTF???". Heath Ledger? The Joker?
Umm Yeah, I was Wrong. He breathes life and death into this character and it shows. Every time he's on screen you wanna do nothing but sit there and listen to his every word and look at his mannerisms. From the iconic Joker laugh to the newly added licking of the lips. Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar and its a shame that he isn't around anymore to give us anymore performances like this.
In Summary.. Heath Ledger has made it impossible for anyone to play the character of The Joker again. The Dark Knight is not only the best superhero movie ever, but also one of the greatest movies to ever be made. Yeah thats a bold statement, but this is a bold movie. It raises the bar so high on what you expect from cinema.
5 out of 5 stars. Watch it once to enjoy, watch it twice to appreciate.
