I have seen a lot of movies this year. Dark Knight is the best one yet. It is as dark as Batman should be, it tells a great, full story. Returning actors Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman bring a comfortable feel for those who have seen the first movie. While new members to the cast Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart bring something to the movie that completes it and makes it whole. Sadly Katie Holmes did not sign on for a second movie (probably because she is to busy worshiping Xenu)and was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal, who did not do as good of a job as I would have hoped.
The story is good, it tells a batman story the way the mid-late batman comics were. Dark, sad, and much more political. The movie is in no way an action movie. Yes there is some action but that is not the focus, the story and character development is the main focus. It takes place around the time when Batman is deciding what kind of hero he wants to be.
Now let me get to the point. Heath Ledger. He is amazing. The best joker there has been, or ever will be. It is literally worth seeing this movie just to watch such an amazing performance. He captures the heart and insanity of the joker perfectly, kicks Jack Nicholson's ass, and makes you even sympathize with the villain, even though he has nothing to sympathize about.
I have not written a review in a while so this one is not very good. But i would like to suggest that you all see this movie. If not for your love of Batman, bit at least to see some of the greatest acting done in a long time. 6/5 for Heath Ledger. 4/5 for Dark Knight.
