Movie Review: The Dark Knight


There are allot of great super-hero movies out there, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, or Batman Begins, each one has a story of it's own, each one has it's own thrills, but none of those movies are as thrilling, or has more original story to the Batman Begins sequel, 'The Dark Knight' which is easily the best super-hero movie ever made.
The Dark Knight delivers everything from having a strong meaning to great action, and that comes with strong acting, powerful storylines, and some powerful emotion, there is a little of that in every super-hero movie, but the Dark Knight brings it all up to levels that anyone would not emotion or expect, it also has something that usual super-hero movies do not have, which is a strong level of darkness, the Dark Knight is a pretty dark movie compared to super-hero movie standards.
The Dark Knight also has something else that is not in many super-hero movies, which is tragedy, the movie has some very tragic scenes, very tragic plot qualities, which all fills up to the movie's darkness, another thing that fills up to the movie's darkness is all the decisions Batman has to make, and all the decisions that the Joker is giving the Gotham law authorities, those decisions are not easily made, and sometimes may not be decided at all, and that was something that added allot to the movie's quality and darkness.
Of course, a movie like this has to have one, or a few major highlights, one perfect example is the acting, each cast member did an excellent job portraying their roles, especially Heath Leger as the Joker, Leger brought acting to the next level with his performance, he was born for this role, he looked like he was actually the Joker, he made the Joker look like he can actually be on front of you, and I did not expect that at all from this movie, or any movie in that matter.
The action is very notable in the movie, there are some exceeding action scenes, that I can just keep watching over and over again, and the excellent thing about the action in this movie is that, there is really nothing out of the ordinary, every action scene has many great charms in it, and many clear reasons on why they did what they did in the action in those scenes.
Another thing to praise in the movie is the character development in the movie, whether it's the good guys, or the villains, you know exactly why the characters do what they do and how do they do it, for example, the Joker, he really has no plans, he just kills, causes mayhem, and another example for perfect character development is Harvey Dent, or Two-face, you know his methods exactly and why does he do those things.
Overall, the Dark Knight is almost flawless, the only flaw in the movie is that you need to watch it more than once to understand it, but otherwise, the action is flawless the plot is very strong, it's dark, it's complex, and more, so all of that resulted to a great unforgettable super-hero movie experience, directed by one of the greatest directors of all-time.
