The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight easily becomes the greatest superhero movie of all time. This is really hard for me to say since I am a SUPERMAN fan through and through. The movie shows a riveting performance by Heath Ledger playing the role of the Joker.

Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger together craft the most unique, eerie, and enjoyable villain to date. The Joker's role in the movie fits into the puzzle so perfectly, as he just drops in with no indication of how or why he came to Gotham City. But nonetheless, Heath's role only plays a small part in the grand scale of this movie.

Unlike the predictions for this movie, the Joker was not the main focus throughout the film. Batman has just as big of a role as the Joker, as well as Harvey Dent and Commissioner Gordon.

The movie puts each character as the main focus throughout different parts of the film. One second you think this character is the threat; the next second is another character. But the movie had one big plot that came solemnly from the Joker. He was just trying to prove a point, that anyone can become corrupt. Hence the line "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the hero." And that is exactly what The Dark Knight sticks to.

From the opening scene to the final film credit I found myself on the edge of my seat! My trip home was stellar. Every expectation, emotion, and superhero hype was meant and far exceeded!

Go see this movie; it is more worth your ticket cost than any other movie this year.
