The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is everything and more. The story is top notch and the acting, the acting is superb. Not only does the movie have the same characters as the last, the stars seemed to have lined up to be in it.

Christian Bale once again brings to life a tortured soul of a man, who wants to protect and save the city he loves. With the help of Michael Caine as Alfred, who brings wisdom to the young man, and Gary Oldman as Lt. Gordon try to stop a maniac that isn't just a criminal, he is a monster.

Heather Ledger brings a new demonsion to the Joker. The Joker is not just crazy like the Jokers of the past, he is the complete polar opposite of Batman. Which is what the Joker is.

The scenes didn't seem as dark as with the first movie. A lot of the movie took place during the day time. Christopher Nolan did a great job knowing that the visuals didn't need to be dark for atmosphere, because the story took care of that.

You really understand Batman/Bruce Wayne's dilema, a regular life or continue as the Batman. In the end like all great men and heros, he understands what has to be done. Plus, every character has a new and better understanding of the man that is Batman and Bruce Wayne.

This is the perfect movie. Action, suspense, love interest, twists and turns (most of them expected if you are a fan of Batman) makes this 2 plus hour movie fly by.
