The Dark Knight

Loved it. Storyline was great, acting was fantastic, action was really good, and the pacing of the movie was perfect. There was truly no part of this film where I felt like it was going slow, or anything wasn't needed. Before I had seen this film I heard some people say that the only reason Heath Ledger might get a nomination or award is because he had passed away, I now think anyone saying that hasn't seen this film. There is truly no point in this movie where he is anything other then the Joker. Christian Bale does possibly my favourite acting job from him ever in this. While in Batman Begins you saw the twisted feelings of Bruce Wayne, in this movie they run much deeper. Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart are nothing less then perfect. I also really liked the acting from Maggie Gyllenhaal in this, I have heard from other people while they didn't like her acting, they still preferred her to Katie Holmes. All personal opinion there.
When seeing this film there was a man in the row in front of me with 3 young children, all 3 children were crying or covering their faces during some scenes. I feel the need to make this very clear. This is not a film for children. There are scenes with Two Face showing close ups of his face, and many violent aspects to this.
Because there are some continuity errors I really should give a slightly lower grade to this film but because they were so small and I love this film so much I can't give it anything but an A+.

Like it or not Heath Ledger as Joker made this movie. Once again Christian Baoe or whatever his last name is, does a overly acted batman. where the change of voice is to obvious. There is no slow point of this movie. It is all action mixed with a twist of story. Dont like how they switched a couple of characthers..not to big of a fan of that, but Joker saves the day, and the passing of Heath did contribitue alot to the films success...but regardless it is one of the best acting roles I have ever witnessed in any movie..ever! I think he set a tone in this new batman series that they are making. The bad guys will now always have a bigger role then batman...its all vilians!
