Batman-the Dark Knight

Movie Review by: anirudhgulur    


Just for the intro:
This film is only the second film to cross 500 million $ in revenue in North America after Titanic
and in fewer days.
I felt disappointed after seeing the first Christopher Nolan film Batman Begins. It was okay as films go but it didn’t click. But the Dark Knight is way, way better than the first film.
Like Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean series the standout actor here is Heath Ledger. This is without a doubt his best performance to date primarily due to the fact that if u had seen his movies and u hadn’t known that he was going to be the Joker then i bet a million dollars that u couldn’t have recognized him as the Joker. While Jack Nicholson was funny and didn’t seem too dangerous, Ledger’s Joker is more darker, brutal and way more dangerous.The best lines are of the Joker(no surprise). Because some of u might not have seen the movie i don’t want to quote any of them but i guarantee u will love all his lines.
The other actors are also good though i personally found Christian Bale lacking after seeing his film Equilibrium (will write a review of that sometime). The special effects are also quite good and the action lovers out there will like the action sequences a lot.
I gurantee u that the only thing u will be talking about after the movie will be Joker. I am sad that Heath Ledger is dead otherwise there would have been a sequel for sure with ledger reprising his role once more.
