The Dark Knight Review

I was fortunate enough to see the midnight release of The Dark Knight.Here is my review:

The Dark Knight is the latest film by Christopher Nolan in the Batman series of films.

Since the passing of Heath Ledger earlier this year,many people have jumped on saying that he is the best Joker ever,even though they have never seen the film.However,he really did give a terrific performance.The expressions and the laugh were phenomenal.

While many people complain about the films length,the film isn't actually all that long.It is barely over 2 hours and 30 minutes.It only feels long because it is such a masterpiece that every moment is dramatic and action-filled.

Aaron Eckhart's performance was an excellent one as well.He was believable and seemed very in to the role.He understood the depth of his character very well.Maggie Gyllenhall as a replacement for Katie Holmes was a smart move.Gyllenhall gave an excellent romantic feel to the film.

The film also stars Christian Bale as Batman.Christian Bale was an over the top Batman.He was phenomenal.I would say that his performance is just as good as Heath Ledgers performance.

The Dark Knight is rated PG-13 and has some sequences of violence and graphic images.It is a film that you are bound to enjoy.

Thanks!
