I'm gonna cut it short, I loved this film. Everything was perfect. Nolan's imagery, The stunning IMAX visuals and of course Heath Ledger's portrayal of the one and only Joker.
There were many different aspects of the film that will make you fascinated with the film. If you look past the set pieces you will find that The Dark Knight is a eye-grabbing motion-picture.
Based on the great DC Comics, the film is a sequel to Batman Begins (2005) in which Christian Bale reprises the lead role. Batman's primary conflicts in the film include his fight against his arch-nemesis the Joker (Heath Ledger) and his strained friendship with district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).
I think some of the actor's including Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Morgan Freeman wasn't shown their true colours and so their characters failed to prove any morality into their roles.
The film primarly focused on Bruce Wayne, The Joker, Two Face and Jim Gordon.
I totally agree with most fans saying that Ledger needs to be nominated for an Oscar. Although I think it should be for Best Supporting Actor. I know he is amazing in the film but you must remember this is an ensemble cast and Christian Bale is the main character even though he is thrown off by Ledger. A person I do think also deserves an award is Gary Oldman. He is a great actor and sunk into the role of Liu. Jim Gordon.
Another thing to note, This IS NOT a film to bring the little kiddies along. Although I would recommend this to all there are some scenes that may upset children.
Things I also liked:
- The BatPod (Especially liked how it came about as well!)
- The Pencil scene ;)
- The return of Scarecrow
- The 20 Minutes of IMAX
Overall, This film is beyond my expectations and is way up in my Top 10. I just hope if Christopher Nolan does another sequel; that he keeps it a trilogy and that he finds the right actor for the right villain, but I think nobody will be able to fit into the role as Heath as he has set the the standard that high.
'I want my phone call'
Me and my friend Marwa (or as she is always called, Zack) made this sonnet about The Dark Knight movie, enjoy
I went to watch The Dark Knight with Bruce Wayne.
We even get to see Harvey Two-Face.
Me and my friend hope to do it again.
The Joker got captured with ease and grace.
The Joker's quote was "why so serious?".
It was shocking that Joker threw Rachel.
The Dark Knight is very mysterious.
My friend thinks that Joker needs a facial.
Anyway, the movie was great and cool.
And Dr. Jonathan Crane was in it.
Whoever never watched it is a fool.
Altogether the movie was a hit.
Joker did a very cool magic trick.
Heath Ledger's performance was very slick.
