About this movie

Christian Bale and director Christopher Nolan reunite following their blockbuster success with Batman Begins! This time, Heath Ledger joins the cast as The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart stars as Harvey Dent in an all-new adventure of The Dark Knight. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and new district attorney Harvey Dent (Eckhart--Thank You for Smoking), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham City forever. The three enjoy early success, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Ledger--Brokeback Mountain), who throws Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman ever closer to crossing the line between hero and vigilante.

Ratings and reviews

The Dark Knight is one of the best films to ever grace cinema. TDK is not your typical superhero movie; it's a thrilling crime drama that manages to redefine and revolutionize comic book movies. The Dark Knight features an incredible Joker performance by Heath Ledger, and it manages to be both profound in its themes on human nature and enthralling to the casual viewer. The film manages to pack in so much while remaining fluid, coherent, and logical in its structure. 10/10

It's great, but it doesn't have enough batman, this is more of a Joker film, and it's not even really the Joker. It's more of Christopher Nolan's calculated and insane clown man. Would be 4/5 but the ending is the best of any film I've seen, so that early it the extra star.

I know I have more than enough money in my virtual visa debit.it sucks it didn't accept my payment.
