Delta_Assault A Dark Night Indeed

I was completely blown away. It's probably the best superhero movie I've ever seen. The movie did have a lot of hype and expectations and to be honest, I think it exceeded them.Heath Ledger was pitch perfect as the Joker. His magic pencil trick was um, quite effective, let's just ...

Adrenaline The Dark Knight

  Batman Begins was one of the better releases in the now quite popular comic book/super hero movement in modern action movies, although it wasn't perfect. The Dark Knight isn't either, of course, but it is probably the best comic book movie I've ever seen. I'd be lying if I ...

CrimsonAvenger An Average movie

While I liked The Dark Knight I just didn't feel it lived up to the hype or the acclaim everyone gave it. It was slow, had several gaping plot holes, and was just down right boring. Christopher Nolan takes everything that was good about Batman Begins and throws it away.The ...

Surllio Proof Nolan Knows Atmosphere

(This was written shortly after the finish of the first midnight showing in 2008)"The night is always darkest before the dawn." The character of Harvey Dent says this to a bewildered people of the terrorized Gotham City. The hopes that the worst days are behind them are shattered into a ...

This is the definative comic book movie it has a great story and Heath Ledger RIP was outstanding. He played the role of the joker who basically was the main character in the movie. Of course you see batman but not as much as you see joker but that is ...

Le_Samurai A film with unrealized potential

  The Dark Knight is a film that I feel really conflicted about and that is because to me, it feels like two films in one. The first film is the first hour of the film that is mostly dialogue between the characters that is obviously setting up the events the ...

matthuliz Almost Perfect

Just like everyone else, I was blown away after watching the movie. Full of entertainment, so many twists and turns, no boring moment. But not the perfect Comicbook Movie everyone thinks. Here are my reasons why I don't consider The Dark Knight as the perfect comicbook movie:1.) Batman is not ...

BrooksWasHere I would say It's the best Superhero movie I've ever seen but...

The truth is The Dark Knight Is not a super hero movie. Christopher Nolan and his brilliantly assembled cast have crafted a "comic book film", no one walking out of Superman (1978), ever could have foreseen.The film goes greatly in depth, and political, this film is a thought provoking experience, ...

hardcoregeek Heath Ledger Steals the movie

The Dark Knight was a the biggest films made in the super hero genre. Batman begins was the reboot and this brings the level up with its cast and action and the directing by christopher nolan. Bale returns as the batman with a scruffy voice and heath ledger as the ...

Catastrophic Over rated

  Overrated. That’s what I describe this movie. Now don’t get me wrong, I like this movie. It’s just that it is not the best thing out there. This time, it’s not the film director or crew spoiled the movie, but the fans that overhyped this thing. If it’s a ...

holabendez An Amazingly Mature Comic Book Movie

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about the new Batman movie, so there really isn’t anything new I can say about it. I liked it, it is a very good film. It is an amazingly mature comic book movie and is truly ...

ZanzibarBreeze As near to flawless as possible (a review in 300 words)

I would be willing to say that The Dark Knight is nearly perfect. If anything, actually, I think it runs a little long, and it’s a bit fragmented in the middle – I’m not sure the transition from The Joker being the focus of attention to Twoface being the focus ...

Flap_jackson The White Knight Dressed In Black

By the time I had finally got around to watching this movie, the hype had already cemented itself in my head. 'It's the greatest super hero EVER!', 'It's one of the greatest movies EVER!' Of course, such hype rarely lives up, but I went in wanting to love this movie. ...

Moviemaniac Amazing Movie

The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan, and written by him and his brother Jonathan, with a story from Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer, is a simply amazing movie. I remember when I went to the movie theaters, to see this movie. I didn't know what to think of ...

X_Ace Heath Ledger performance

I have said it once and I will say it again: this was the top performance by late Heath Ledger. Compering to him, other actors in this movie were there, but they were not acting. They were just somewhere in the background. He delivered this performence in a way it ...
