MOVIE REVIEW: THE DARK KNIGHT

2008

DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN

STARRING CHRISTIAN BALE, HEATH LEDGER, GARY OLDMAN, MICHAEL CAINE, AARON ECKHART, MAGGIE GYLLENHALL, AND MORGAN FREEMAN

RATED PG-13 FOR INTENSE SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AND SOME MENACE

Today I will be reviewing the film "The Dark Knight" (2008). It is the second film in the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. I found it to be a terrific film, better than "Batman Begins", the first film in the trilogy. I found the highlight of the film to be Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker.

The film has very intense, dark scenes of violence. The plot was superb, the same with the acting, mainly Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker. With dark humor and a sadistic personality, Ledger superbly pulls off an amazing portrayal. The Music was good as well. Overall, I found the film to be the best in the trilogy.
