Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron
Eckhart, and Gary Oldman
In this truly spectacular action picture, we find the caped
crusader facing his greatest challenge yet. Batman (Christian Bale) works
with Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent
(Aaron Eckhart) to clean up the streets of Gotham City. As they continue
to clean up the city, the organized crime bosses of Gotham desperately place
their hopes in the Joker (Heath Ledger), a sick and twisted murderer bent on
turning Gotham into his own violent playground. As the Joker terrorizes
the city, Batman realizes what he must become to take him down, which troubles
him deeply.
The Dark Knight is a movie that changed
my life as a moviegoer. It was a film that made me raise my expectations
as a viewer. By leaps and bounds, this is the greatest comic book movie
ever made because this is not just a superhero movie. It's an intense
crime thriller that immerses you into a rich story with pulse-pounding action,
complex characters with real-world problems, and a great actor's Oscar-winning
performance. Heath Ledger gave the performance of a lifetime as the
Joker. Christopher Nolan created a cinematic masterpiece in The Dark
Knight. An awesome movie like this deserves a sober rating.
