User Reviews
Batman
has always been my favourite superhero ever since the first time I
heard about him because he his human with no powers, also he is much
more questionable than any other superhero. The story of the film is
about Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new district attorney Harvey
Dent beginning to succeed in rounding up the criminals that plague
Gotham City. They are unexpectedly challenged when a mysterious criminal
mastermind known as the Joker appears in Gotham. Batman's struggle
against the Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront
everything he believes" and to improve his technology (which introduces
the recreation of the Batcycle, known as the Batpod and the Batsuit was
redesigned) to stop the madman's campaign of destruction. During the
course of the film, a love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent
and Rachel Dawes.
There are now six Batman films and I must say
that The Dark Knight is the best out of all of them. The title is good
because that is what Batman actually is. It has been 3 years for the
adventure to continue from Batman Begins but that entire wait was worth
it. Gotham city is very Gothic looking and is very haunting and
visionary. The whole movie is charged with pulse-pounding suspense,
ingenious special effects and riveting performances from a first-rate
cast especially from Heath Ledger who gave an Oscar nomination
performance for best supporting-actor. It is a shame that he can't see
his terrific work on-screen. The cinematography is excellent which is
made so dark & sinister that really did suit the mood for the film.
Usually sequels don't turn out to be better than the original but The
Dark Knight is one of those rare sequels that surpasses the original
like The Godfather 2. I also really liked the poster where the building
is on fire in a Bat symbol & Batman is standing in front of it.
Christopher Nolan is a brilliant director and his film Memento is one of
my most favourite films. He hasn't made 10 movies yet and 3 of them are
already on the IMDb top 250. Overall The Dark Knight is the kind of
movie that will make the audience cheer in the end instead of throwing
fruit & vegetables on the screen.
