Movie review for The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight Movie review

By: John Constantine

Batman the Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan is one of the best films of all time.  This movie is ranked fourth out of the top 50 movies of all time on IMDb.  The Dark Knight is an action packed film filled with suspense and surprises you will never see coming.  One of the best parts of this film is Heath Ledgers performance, despite dying shortly after he played the role of the joker.  He played a key part in the movie, his acting was spot on and especially his voice and the laugh.  His character: The joker is a mean cruel man that doesn't care about anything not even himself he is very destructive and causes chaos all over the city of Gotham.  Heath Ledger was not the only person that played a fantastic part in the movie, Christian Bale played a great role as the main character Batman.  In the movie Batman is a billionaire named Bruce Wayne who is well known in the city of Gotham.  Although what people of Gotham don’t know about him is that he is also the batman.  Christian Bale plays Batman very well in this film, the way that he disguises his voice so no one will know that he is actually Bruce Wayne is very cool.  He has a really deep voice as batman and it almost sounds like he as throat cancer.  Another thing he does well is his intimidation factor.  All of the villains and mob dealers are intimidated by him because of his strength, suit and fighting skills.  The only one in the movie who is not scared of him is the joker of course because he is not afraid of anything in the movie which makes the joker cooler than ever.  Through the course of the movie one thing that everyone loves are the classic fight scenes between the Batman and the Joker.  These scenes are action packed and intense and will leave your heart pounding through the course of the movie.  Another key character in this movie that plays an important and great role in this movie is Aaron Eckhart who plays Harvey Dent.  Harvey dent is one of Bruce Wayne’s good friends in this movie, but the Joker is after him because he knows Batman is familiar with him.  That’s all I’m going to say because I won’t spoil it for you.  One thing Christopher Nolan does well in this movie is the special effects.  The special effects are incredible and really neat.  There are many explosion scenes that are just amazing and you ask yourself how they did that.  The stunts are also very cool, Batman does many of them and they are neat and look great.  Overall this is a great movie and it will leave you at the edge of your seat and your heart pounding all throughout the movie.  I would give this movie a solid 10 out of 10 if I had to give it a grade.
