2008 Movie of the Year
PostedJuly 22, 2008

from Overland Park, KS
“I can't kill you because you’re just too much fun” cackled the joker as he dangled in the depths of Batman’s tragic destiny. Although the joker may have labeled batman as fun, the movie itself took audiences through an array of emotions to eventual arrive at the simplistic three letter word destination. The dark knight, cleverly titled, has the complexity of a multi-level in-depth Oscar film under the title of what is supposedly a comic book story.
The film has taken the superhero genre and catapulted it to a hierarchy where audiences leave movie theaters’ in disbelief that this was really just a superhero movie. That’s when its realized that this movie is so much more than just another hot-guy-in-spandex crusade sown together by a bubblegum-tastic plot. The action, the cinematography, the visual effects, the plot and the actors are what movie-goers have been in need of since the dawn of all batman movies, or in fact, any superhero movie at all. Every aspect of this movie keeps audience thinking, wondering and basically, wanting more and more.
While on the subject of more and more, the actors in the movie give viewers just that; the ultimate satisfaction that raises the question: how can they possible not give an award to every single one of them? And although all the actors gave this production a standing ovation worthy performance, it was the late Heath Ledger’s Joker who dealt his cards right and, quite frankly, stole the show. The DC comics character of the Joker’s brilliant, and almost saw-esk, cleverly planted mind games and quirky responses took a backseat to the true magical deliver and little quirks of Ledger's performance that made fans grief just that much more over the loss of a truly phenomenal actor.
Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’ has brought to the table more than just a summer hit but a true instant classic. Giving audiences everything they could’ve possible asked for in a two and a half hour thrill ride. At the end of day leaving audiences not knowing where to start but realizing, it was quite simply, “just too much fun.”

Yes, I recommend this movie.
