MCT:November 21, 2008,,the joker: you have nothing, nothing to threaten me with. nothing to do with all your strength!"
christopher nolan' s masterpiece is one hell of a movie! every second is full of suspense, and that makes the dark knight one of the most intense and dynamic movies ever. pure adrenaline, punch, shoot, blow up, cut, and everything, in the fastest way possible. the dark knight also has a brilliant cast. i mean, christian bale (brilliant as usual), heath ledger (outstanding performance), aaron eckhart (incredible, i never imagined that he is so good), gary oldman (amazing), michael caine (extraordinary), maggie gyllenhaal (she was good, but the chemistry between her character and bruce was simply 0), morgan freeman (great as usual), eric roberts (very good), monique curnen, ritchie coster, nestor carbonell, cillian murphy, michael jai white, william fichtner and many more! and when you think, all of them delivered fantastic performances... wow!, words can' t describe their work... of course, you will become bored if i will tell you that bale delivered another outstanding performance; i mean, bale is born to be the best, but when you see heath ledger saying a memorable quote, moving his lips and tongue and that expression on his face, like ,,i' m the joker, i don' t destroy gotham city for money, i just want to put a smile on your face" (this is not a quote from the film, but i think you already know that), you have to be either really stupid, either mad, to say you don' t give a shit about it! you cry, or not, maybe you laugh, you acclaim heath, you laugh like him, but you do something! in the dark knight, the joker is the center of attention! another strong element of the dark knight is the exploration of the characters! nolan digs deep to show us their true personality; while bruce is the symbol of good, and batman protects at all costs the ones he loves, the joker acts, dresses and simply is the psycho with no soul, completely gone, thinking just at the pleasures of killing, destroying and showing batman that people are ugly in their souls and they really live in a world of anarchy. and this is the truth; gotham city is a city where chaos rules! there are rules, rules of society, but with the mob and the criminals, no one is brave enough to respect those rules! what harvey dent is, it' s something that batman could never be; he represents the good in gotham, but wears no mask! that' s why the people need harvey. batman can protect them, but only at night, and he is cleaning the streets hiding behind a false black face (the mask). but, back at heath, i can' t even speak about his make - up! you can see it for yourself, absolutely amazing, no words could make his character better! he just is the strangest character in the batman series (and the are a lot of weird guys, especially the scarecrow), and he' s also in my top 20 serial killers. the joker is a criminal mastermind, prepared to destroy a hospital, an entire police station or kill an entire mob family, alone, just using his brain and brilliant plans! because, let' s admit it, joker is no venom or carnage, neither a batman of darkness; with limited strength, he always seeks help in his mind and figures a new way of escaping. another plus it' s the cinematography. the camera angles are simply beautiful! the costumes are also extraordinary and the bat - mobile fits perfect with batman as the lamborghini fits perfect with bruce! the lighting effects are great and the score is made by hans zimmer, so it' s, of course, provoking, intense and very good. i will not forget the visual effects, that were spectacular and represented adrenaline at perfection! the script is well - written, the dialogues are very good, memorable and still with a surprise between the words or with a hidden message behind a line. the dark knight is one of the few movies that have a beginning and an ending so well paced. i will tell more about the story later, after a fresh second viewing. in a year with faded performances, heath ledger' s portrayal on the joker is not just phenomenal, but represents the light that could save this year, poor in movies. conclusion? the dark knight is a great movie, but even if it' s better than a movie from my top 6, the dark knight will never be in my top 6 because batman, for me, doesn' t represent the definition of a superhero, neither he is my favorite superhero. nolan' s masterpiece, bale' s masterpiece (as always) and ledger' s masterpiece!

I would have gave this movie 5 stars had it not been for Two Face weak character and ending. I mean Two Face could have almost been left out entirely leaving The Joker and Batman to battle it out throughout the whole movie and it would have been better, that is if they had changed up the ending to make it more exciting that what it was. While I must admit Two Face had some really cool special effects and looked sinister, he really didn't do anything in the movie before it's over.

This was an excellent movie. Very dark. Heath Ledger was the bomb as the Joker! There will never be anyone that comes close to his level on this character.

A crazy tale of Anarchy and Order. This movie is unlike any Batman you've ever seen, Christian Bale is fantastic as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Aaron Eckhart is also great as Harvey Dent/Twoface but what really makes this film is Heath Ledgers Joker. This is simply the greatest acting you have ever seen in your life and oh shame that he died when the movie was still in post-production.

Mo offense about the movie or anything.It is amazing and truly a masterpiece, but I'm wondering about what happened off the set. When Heath Ledger has the makeup and the suit on for the role as the Joker, I wonder what the cast members and everyone would say or react to him when he's talking to him. Like if he's still in character or he's calm and cool. I mean if you would play the role of one the most terrifying Batman villains ever, and you had to prepare for that role for months, both you and I would go insane. But WOW!!! Heath really outdid himself. He WILL go down in history as "The Best Supporting Actor in The Best Movie Of All Time". Heath Ledger, you are the man.

To all of you who think that Heath Ledger surpasses all the other Jokers before him...you are all so very wrong....he does a good joker...a different joker at that...but the best has been and always will be Jack Nicholson....he has twisted and demented down to a tee...

tis film is one of the main reasons that this has been one of the best years to be a comic fan.i dont like people judging this movie just on heath ledger's performance(which is amazing by the way). there is more to this movie. the story is excellent as it reflects today's society.this goes against a major argument against superhero's "I cant relate to them". this movie makes it very asy to relate. it alos doesn't paint batman as a saint which is good, he is a necessary force in gotham. also interesting to see him try to save the day in daylight as bruce wayne.amazing movie.

heath ledger just left a legacy which will be hard to break for anyone trying to play the villain. His sadistic and creepy twist to the movie just made it genius...and the whole two face drama is worth every penny. Christian Bale and his fantastic cast really pulled it off. And I really respect the fact that they did not kill off the joker but left him hanging in the air to show that the joker still lives..viva for ever

OMG!!!! This movie was really good. I'm obsessed with Batman. My other fave batman movie was the one with the riddler (jim carrey). That was soooo funny. Did anyone here that Johnny Depp might be doing the new Riddler??? He won't replace Jim but he will do a good job.
