The Dark Knight (2008)

Story, the mob seems to be diminishing from Gotham been under threat by the power of a "White Knight" Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart)  but near its success comes a new threat, an unknown criminal called the Joker (Heath Ledger) who set with a game, a game to set Gotham into Chaos and has no fear off bringing insanity to the field.  We all know this film is great, simply by the structure of the story and this is all through the power of Christopher Nolan, I wonder if he himself will make some form of superhero status after the completion off the third film *crosses fingers* With his ability, the story of the Batman becomes even darker with his nemisis on the field, The Joker who would of know what chaos this film brings to the screen, but we all love it. the Joker knows the Batman, he knows what he is inside, what he fights for and will turn it against him at all cost just to play his game, a game with no ending. 

To me myself, what I love mainly about this film is the soundtrack, that's right with all of its greatness, from the acting of Heath Ledger or the acting Christian Bale its the soundtrack created by the infamous Hanz Zimmer. The soundtrack to The Dark Knight is riddled with suspense to where he creates its atmosphere and how we feel while watching this film. Its main song, titled "Why So Serious" the theme of the Joker brings nine minutes of terrifying music which will leave you at the edge of your seat through beginning to end. 

Now lets get to the acting and Heath Ledger of course who portrays the Joker, he brings the character to the joker so terrifyingly to life its almost to what it may have an effect on younger audiences or just people in general. Its rare occasion to that Heath Ledgers performers is probably one of the greatest I have ever seen, its all such a shame that such a talented actor is not with us today. Now Christian Bales Batman, he does a good job, I have no complaints but there isn't much new from him even though I do consider him to be one of my favourite actors of all time but it would have been more interesting to see some form of other emotion from at least the Bruce Wayne character.  The remaining actors, well there is quite an interesting remaining cast, the legendary Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman with there very meaningful one liners of dialogue witch help Batman to victory but to say the least, we love it. The critically acclaimed Gary Oldman, I would say stands alone from the rest of the actors which really shows his talent to the screen. Finally, Maggie Gyllenhaal does a great job of Rachel Dawes with big shoes to replace after the previous actor Katie Homes who Rachel Dawnes in Batman Begins.  

Now we all love a film with action but I'd say balances the film out perfectly, not to much action to make us brain-dead but satisfy's out needs of watchman batman succeed in his fights. Story and action in serenity is what this film utilizses perfectly which makes me appreciate the film very much more. I have already talked about actors and I thought you would think I was about to forget about Aaron Eckart who portrays Harvey Dent, now his acting is good, very "white knight" to how his character is portrayed but he also does a great job of his demise and the creation of Harvey's other side where the strive for justice soon takes its toll to something almost as similar to the Joker. 

Overall, simply an outstanding and unforgettable film, dark and disturbing it will inevitably satisfy us all. Its brings fear and worry to what will behold in the third film, will its success become greater or will it stumble down the rabbit hole, lets hope the Christopher Nolan does us well for Batman's future. 

"And... here... we... go!"
