The Dark Knight (2008)

If the first movie that I would reviewed on is definitely my all-time favourite - The Dark Knight. I watch it in cinema twice and then I watched the movie about more than 10 times and I still will not get bored.

The sequel to the successful Batman Begins, The Dark Knight continues the Batman saga in where Batman has to face his greatest villain of all time, The Crown Prince of Crime himself, The Joker (the late Heath Ledger). If you think Batman Begins was better than the first two Batman movies and definitely better than Joel Schumacher's horrible Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Then The Dark Knight will not only will not disappoint but also bring you to an action-packed journey. Great movie supported by an outstanding and excellent casts such as Christian Bale, Heath Ledger (who deserve to win an Oscar for this role), Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gynllenhaal and of course Gary Oldman. Veteran actors, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman also done well in this movie.

What's good about The Dark Knight is that it is real unlike Batman & Robin or Batman Returns which only portrays Batman from the comic world and battle against the evil. Christopher Nolan tackles the social morality of Gotham and how would human act in the desperate time. The Dark Knight would be one of Christopher Nolan's great films alongside Memento, Batman Begins and the average The Prestige.

Why So Serious???
