A Great Night with The Dark Knight

I know I should have written this earlier (of course I saw it opening weekend), but I just couldn't decide how to go about it.


Superhero, comic book-esque films aren't (typically) much to my liking, but this one has certainly redefined the genre.

I doubt, and am nearly sure, there has never been such a well-acted and beautifully crafted adaption of this type. The film is perfectly rounded (just how I like my movies; when you, the audience, are gracefully brought from point A to point B) and easily holds the audiences attention; not to mention, it's very beautiful to look at, with glorious special effects. Director Chris Nolan was able to pull off a dark, deceptive, and natural tale between the characters, without making it look forced or overdone.
I obviously have to speak of Heath's performance which was simply glorious. To me, an Oscar-worthy performance is when the viewer cannot separate the actor from the character; this is what his performance was, whole-heatedly- pure acting in it's most simple and complex forms. And it may or may not have caused his downfall.


Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone and would be eager to see it again.
