The Dark Knight
(2008)
Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal
Director: Christopher Nolan
Certificate: 
This Film is perfect. The way I judge films is on how they stand against The Godfather. Never have I actually seen a film that is better until now. And that film is the Dark Knight. After seeing this, I decided I would go back and watch the four batman films before begins, and while reading the blurb from the disasterous Batman and Robin, I noticed a line that fully sums up the difference between Joel Schumacher's Batman films and Christopher Nolan's Batman films; 'George Clooney is the caped crusader in the new fun adventures of Batman and Robin.' And that is what made Batman and Robin a terrible film, but with Batman Begins, Nolan made a dark, sinister film that was better than the four previous outings in every single department. And with The Dark Knight, he managed to surpass Begins by a mile. It is absolutely the most brilliant and well-made film I have ever seen, and the acting is faultless. Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart are two of the best actors in the world at the moment, but the really brilliant performance is by Heath Ledger. When watching his performance of the Joker, it is impossible to see that it is actually Heath Ledger under make up. His voice is consistent and strange, very different to that of Jack Nicholson's Joker. The plot is excellent; not too far fetched, despite being a Batman Film. I went to the cinema to see this film 4 times at the time of writing, and I know I will see it more.I would reccomend anyone to see it.
