The Dark Knight

Just turning 30 puts me inside the bracket of experiencing all of the Batman movies. Tim Burtons 1989 version of Batman and Joker was an experience that brought wonder back to the Bat. Unfortunately as the movies progressed the quality of acting or story lines did not. They seemed to get less and less serious as the first, and always going no where. Seeing Danny Devito as the Penguin was a great choice but the story line was not, and frankly the advancement for that type of movie was not yet in place. As we degress into the mess that became Batman, Jim Carrey (Riddler), Tommy Lee Jones (A cheesy Two Face), a horrible movie about Cat Woman (Hale Berry) and last and certainly the least....Mr. Freeze (The Governator, and his very soft sidekick Robin (Chris Odonnell) I shutter at the thought. The Dark Knight has rejuvenated the series. This was a fantastic success of not only casting but screen play as well. From Maggie Gylllenall to Gary Oldman, Michael Kane, Christain Bale, and of course the man in this movie The Joker. Heath Ledger became the Joker or The Joker was inside Heath Ledger. He is and was truly worthy of all the praise he has received so far to date. There were many moments of jumping in startle to his decadence of menace. Aaron Eckhart was not only believable as Two Face he complimented the entire movie without taking away from the other actors, like Batman Forever (Carey, Lee Jones.) This is without a doubht the most true to actual story of Batman. He is a hero in a true sense, he was never intended to have super natural powers. He is shown as a human in these films and pushed the limits of being one. Truly a great film and I would recommend this film to all who love movie going not just this style and story line. Simply put...go see it in the theater before you miss out.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
