The Dark Knight (5 out of 5 stars).The Dark Knight is a great sequel to the follow up reboot of Batman. A lot happens in the film and making this one complex superhero film. Think of this film like a moving chess piece with the characters like Batman (Christian Bale), Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as they are all being affected by the Joker (Heath Ledger). Without giving much details and spoiler free. This is one spectacular superhero movie with a smart clever plot. Exciting action sequences, powerful acting, and an organized driven script that makes every scene in the movie important.The opening sequence of a robbery led by Joker was fantastic. Heath Ledger's performance is intimidating and scary. He is the character that has no remorse or empathy. And will kill anything in his path without blinking an eye. But his mastermind plan on taking Gotham is insane. Enough said about the plot. Which is best to find out for yourself when you see it. The action sequences are also great. The car chase with the tumbler is great. The film does get very dark fast when characters are horribly scarred or when characters die. There are sub plots that works great and are integrated with the main story later on. Harvey is trying to fight the corruption in Gotham. And putting away a lot of mobsters. Gordon is stuck in a conflict when he realizes there is more corruption in the city. Bruce is struggling with the concept that he can't be a hero forever and wants to settle with his love interest Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal). Now, knowing Harvey Dent is the white knight of Gotham. When the Joker is causing chaos in the city. Giving demands, orchestrating a bigger plot that will test everyone. The music score was great. Hans Zimmer music was fantastic. The script was great. Felt like a crime thriller concept mixed with a superhero movie. The direction was sharp and complex. With a lot of moving characters and story. The acting was great. Especially, Heath Ledger giving a great performance. The action is exciting and big.Overall, The Dark Knight is a great film. One of the best superhero movies yet. It can be dark. The Joker's threats and performance is intimidating. The acting was great. Christopher Nolan did great with his second Batman film.

This review isnt coming from a profesional or anything but from a comic book movie lover, and movies in general. The movie has incredible cinematography, one of the best performances ever in a movie by Heath Ledger, amazing writing and directing. This film is full of action, drama and suspense, it shows how a superhero could affect our society for good or for bad, what it means to be a hero and what concequences come with that, its shows beutifully the usual contrast between good and evil and gives profound messages toward the end of the film and one of the greatest sacrifices a hero could have ever done in a movie, also the movie has very little use of cgi making everything look so real and in the moment, this movie deserves the praise of being the best superhero film ever made for all the reasons I mentioned and because the dark tone in this movie was given the right way, not every movie has to be dark but if the story is deeply complemented by it it should be a part of it, and Nolan gave his vision with no problen with the studio and that gave him liberty to do something unique and gripping.
