I have seven words to cover this movie. They are: Best. Darn. Superhero. Movie. Ever. Made. I expected it to be good but this: whoa! "Why So Serious..." you may ask? Well, probably because it was Batman at his worst hour, what with Rachel dying and all.
Speaking of Rachel, who on Earth cast Maggie Gyllenhaal as the Dark Knight's closest friend? What happened to Katie Holmes? She was a great Rachel. Maggie Gyllenhaal's terrible performance is probably what's holding me back from giving this movie ********** stars.
But, lets talk about the good things in this movie. For example, the Joker. OK, Christopher Nolan, you may not pick a good actor for the part of Rachel (don't worry, I'll stop being so obsessed over Maggie Gyllenhaal in a second) but you can sure pick a good villain. Heath Ledger would win over Jack Nicholson's and Ceaser Romano's performance of the Joker any day.
Another fantastic actor in this movie: Gary Oldman. This was my first Gary Oldman movie, and boy is he good. Oldman continues his part as Commissioner Gordon. Some other fantastic actors in this movie is Christian Bale, Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman, and Aaron Eckhart (not Maggie Gyllenhaal).
But, the best part of this movie is the script. Who knew Christopher and Jonathan Nolan could write so well?
Overall, this movie is a ********* star performance. So, if you like superhero movies, such as the 'Superman' series, then I definitely recommend this movie to YOU!
