The Dark Knight (2008)


Complex. Dark. Masterpiece. (CDM)

Final Verdict: Ironman pushed the superhero genre to it's peak, creating an amazing action/adventure film with awesome special effects and an exciting story. The Dark Knight, however, transcends the genre by merging complex philosophical ideas with compelling characters and a realistic atmosphere. It is by far the best superhero flick around, and possibly my favorite movie of all time. Kudos MUST be given to Heath Ledger, because his role as the Joker is simply the best performance I have ever seen-- hands down. He truly makes this movie what it is. If you haven't seen The Dark Knight yet, then you're a bastard and a communist and nobody likes you. Go see it. :)

Spoiler(s): Batman gets a cold at somepoint in the movie. It's never clear when he gets sick, but throughout the film he sounds nasaly, raspy, and awkward. Maybe Bruce Wayne needs to redesign a warmer bat suit, becasue he only sounds like a f---ing retard with the suit on.
