The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is the best Batman movie ever. Here’s why:
Action. The movie starts off action-packed. The pacing of the movie is excellent. I was never bored; never left wondering, “When will this pick up?” There were more action scenes in this movie than in Batman and Batman Returns combined. (That may not actually be true. Just a guess.)
Heroes and villains. Scarecrow turns from psychotic villain to random vigilante. Batman walks the line between his ethics and his rage. Harvey Dent, a new hero, rises to the occasion, but at what cost? And then, of course, there’s…
The Joker. Heath Ledger really nails the character of The Joker. This is the freak I’ve always imagined The Joker to be.
Duration. This is a long movie, jam-packed with awesomeness every step of the way. There was a point where I nervously thought the movie was going to end, but then I realized that it was only halfway. So it’s basically two movies in one.
In conclusion, you must watch this movie. That’s all there is to it. If you’ve already seen it then you know what to do; go see it again. Next time, I’ll see it in IMAX.
