The follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves effective, but soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante. Heath Ledger stars as archvillain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast as Rachel Dawes. Returning from Batman Begins are Gary Oldman as Gordon, Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.

When I went to see this movie for the first time, I had very low expectations because Batman Begins wasn't in my taste. I am not Christian Bale's biggest fan, but I love super hero movies. To my surprise the movie turned out to be very entertaining. It's funny, dramatic, clever, and full of action sequences. My main issue with this movie is that it has a few noticeable continuity problems. This movie should be labeled: Joker Begins. In my opinion, there has never been an actor who could portray the Batman character properly (besides the voice of Kevin Conroy), but most of the supporting actors in this movie are fantastic, especially Gary Oldman aka Harry Potter's "Sirius Black" and Heath Ledger aka Brokeback Mountain's "Ennis Del Mar".

All I have to say is this; after seeing Heath Ledger's portrayl of The Joker, I left the theatre realising that is the kind of character I'm going to be...

Batman of the comics was the hero with the "wow!"-factor, the hero who took care of "everyman". A hero has to grow up and move along with time, adapt to a culture in which drive-by shootings are not something of Bonnie and Clyde but "that neighborhood", in which the sports-hero shows miraculous muscle growth over time, in which every certainty starts having a question-mark.
We deserve this Batman; the man in the hero has his doubts and question marks, he struggles and comes through. He has become us. Go see the movie and let your mind do the wandering over the various levels at which this movie speaks to you, from the gut to the brain to the emotions. Live it and let your inner self grow.

Now, like a lot of people, I was really hyped up to see "The Dark Knight" when it came out a year and half ago. First day, middle of the theatre, waiting patiently and anxiously.
And if I am being totally honest with you, I was bored to tears.
I didn't really think anymore about the movie, if I'm being honest with you, until, while bored one day, sitting alone in my apartment, I noticed my roommates copy of "The Dark Knight" sitting on the top of the Blu-Ray player. I thought to myself, "well, maybe I was wrong and I was just letting the hype get in the way." So I put it in and started it and watched the entire thing again.
And was once again bored to tears.
Now I know that many people view this film as some modern version of "The Godfather" or "Casablanca", but I just can't buy into it. What I see is a mediocre version of "Heat" with a great performance from the late Heath Ledger, but a movie where everyone else flounders with one dimensional roles and broad characterizations.
Of the main cast only Ledger really brings anything interesting to his role, an astonishing thing seeing as the role he has is one note throughout. Christian Bale as Batman is a dull as Val Kilmer, while Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman both appear to be cashing checks. Aaron Eckhart plays his part as Harvey Dent surprisingly well, seeing as it is a different sort of role than what I have seen him in before (Neil LaBute movies mostly), but can't do much with his transformation as Two Face. Some of that may have to do with Maggie Gyleenhaal, usually a reliable actor, who looks bored and unsure of how to play her part in this movie.
Storywise, I just wasn't engrossed with the story of "The Dark Knight". For the most part I wondered how much nonsense the Nolan brothers were trying to shove into one movie. The story continues on and on and seems like it's trying to say something major, but never does. To add to that, to me, it seems like anytime the narrative seems to be gaining steam, the movie throws in another action scene and it loses all narrative movement.
To add to that, Nolan still has yet to find out how to shoot action scenes effectively and coherantly, and problem that also plagued the superior "Batman Begins".
I wanted to like "The Dark Knight", I did. I just couldn't. I guess nothing is for everyone. I guess this one just isn't for me.

I really love this movie. But I felt 22 dollars for the double disc was a waste of money. They didn't really show anything on Heath Ledger or the making of the movie. What a waste of a dvd. What was the point of having 2 discs if your not going to put anything on it? They didn't even put any deleted scences on the disc, I'm sure they had some. To the people who haven't bought this movie yet, I wouldn't get the double disc, I'd get the single disc movie. Save your money.
