Movie Review for: Batman the Dark Knight

August 24th, 2008 | Category: Movie Reviews

The fight of good versus evil rages on in Gotham. It separates the heroes from the villains. It is the decision we all make.

Who would have guessed that the sixth sequel of the same movie could be so good? It is hard to revisit the same characters and the same battles and still have an interesting story. But The Dark Knight shows you it is possible.

With a run time close to three hours, The Dark Knight feels a little long. The last hour shows the audience a different view of Two-Face. It is a little late in the movie to spring this plot twist. It makes it feel like The Dark Knight is two movies squeezed into one.

Who would have thought anyone could have topped Jack Nicholson’s performance as The Joker? I am happy to say that Heath Ledger’s performance was perfect. Possibly his best work ever.

The idea behind Batman will always draw a crowd. He was not blessed or cursed with super human powers. He is simply a man with some great tools who decided to fight for his fellow man. The Dark Knight may be the best action movie this summer has to offer.

You will not fell like you wasted your money on a bad movie ticket.
