The Dark Knight (A Film Review)


See image above. That's how I feel about the movie. Not psychotic. You know, the whole clapping thing.

This movie, albeit extremely long, was a very well put together film. Heath stole the show, not because of his untimely death, but his extraordinary performance. He actually scared me a few times with his craziness and psychotic demeanor! (Mainly his laugh).

The film has its comedic moments, it's gutwrenching moments, and it's random strokes of genius. A few parts of the film threw me for a loop, as well as confused me, but overall, I had a strong grasp on it all.

The special effects in this movie were done very well, and I definitely like the twists to the Batman Universe that this film has introduced (or stayed true to the comic, whichever you prefer).

Overall, I give this 3.5/4 Stars

R.I.P. Heath Ledger.
You left this world with haste, but your mark has forever been left with us. This movie is certainly your crowning achievement. Kurt Cobain said it best: "It's better to burn out than fade away..." Your life ended on a masterpiece.
