I'm a hard person to impress re: movies, although I do like a wide-range of themes. The hero-saves-the-day fics are my favorite, though.
However, I've seen very few that grab my attention the way The Dark Knight did last evening. This flick is what movies are all about. It had drama, humor, adventure, action, with self-sacrificing heroes and nightmarish villians you love to hate. The pairing of Bale and Ledger was near perfection. Eckhart, Craine, Oldman, and Gyllenhaal did just as well with their character parts, too, yet never detracted from the main protagonist/antagonist players,. Still, they were powerful in their execution. I did think that Gyllenhaal was underused, if only a little bit, but she did add the right catalyst to a variety of outcomes near the end, though.
And although the movie was a tad longish, it kept its momentum to the very end. And the ending, though dark and foreboding, remained authentic to the comic book Batman.
With that said, It's the first time in a very long time when I felt like clapping as the end credits began rolling. The Dark Knight's marvelous screenplay, directing, art production and design, editing, sound, and last but certainly not least - performance has raised the bar for moviemaking! I will definitely see this again and once it comes out on DVD, I will add it joyously to my collection at home.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
