Second-best Batman movie
PostedJuly 19, 2008

"The Dark Knight" is definitely one of the best movies of the year, although it comes second-best to "Batman Begins." BBegins, aside, Christian Bale is obviously the best Batman of them all, and he continues the new and better legacy of the Batman movies with "The Dark Knight." Although Bale is still great in this sequel to Batman Begins, Heath Ledger (as all critics have repeatedly pointed out) definitely takes the cake as The Joker; and quite possibly the best villain, albeit a different kind of villain than some of the others. I say the Christopher Nolan Batmans are so different, because they take on an immensely darker and more serious nature than some of the others- which in my opinion puts them above with a less cartoonish nature, and a more disturbing outlook. Barely, did "The Dark Knight" get a PG-13 rating! Very action-packed, and somewhat violent, this movie barely got PG-13 because there is little blood splattering and no expletives. Yet the action does not falter. It is very sad that this was Ledger's last finished performance, because we see here that he is at the top of his career (including Brokeback off course). He makes the character The Joker his own creation in a twisted sadistic fashion that really puts him at the top of the list of actors who make their character so real and surreal at the same time. Four stars instead of five, because I wish they would have had more room for more Batman, and less Gotham politics. BUT this movie perfectly sets the stage for more Batmans to come (hopefully with Bale and Nolan!)
Yes, I recommend this movie.
