Ok here it is finally The Dark Knight movie review!!!!!!!!!!! The story is that the crime rates are down in gotham thanks to Batman ( Christian Bale). The new District attorney Harvey Dent ( played real seriously and great by Arron Eckhart) is taking down criminals left and right and gotham is looking to be coming out of the darkness right? That is until a menace known only as The Joker ( played very very greatly by the late Heath Ledger) starts bringing chaos to gotham and demands that the batman take off his mask and show us who he really is or, people will die and the joker he is a man of his word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant say enough about this movie this is an instand classic great cast, Of course you have Michael Caine returning as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman as James Gordon, Maggie Gyllenhaall as Rachel Daws ( which was played much better than Katie Holmes ever did) Eric Robberts as Sal Maroni, Michael Jai White as Gamble, Cillian Murphy returning in a small cameo as Scarcrow and William Fincher as the bank manager. Oh and how could i forget? Anthony Michael Hall as Mike Egnal. I tell you how i can forget! Because he did not play much in this move. I was really dissappointed in his appearance but, was very impressed with Michael Jai White as Gamble, even though he did not play that much either. Great Acting and a really great story line i give this movie a 10 out of 10, A+, and, it is the best movie of the year bu far and, in my book the best movie ever made. Now lets talk about the great Heath Ledger! If Heath Ledger does not get an oscar nomination for this movie or for that fact win the oscar, The Academy has no Freaking soul. You hear that Academy us Batman fans will be outraged and never trust your judgement again about any movie! Now about Heath's Performance; This is by far the best joker ever. Forget Caeasar Romero, Forget Mark Hammill in the animated series and i cant believe i am saying this but, Heath's performance is much better than the great Jack Nicholson but, then again this is a different time. Till next time see ya and see the Dark Knight.
