5-Word Movie Review: Batman The Dark Knight

Joker Delivers, Greatest Movie Ever

Final Thoughts: Let’s keep this short – go see this movie right now. Run -- don’t walk -- to the nearest theater.

Unlike other superhero movies, The Dark Knight can stand on its own two feet. There is no cheesy, campy dialogue. This is a serious crime drama that will no doubt be nominated for an ungodly amount of Academy awards.

While the ensemble cast is incredible, Heath Ledger rises above and beyond the rest in his portrayal of classic Batman villain, The Joker. In fact, his performance is better than Jack Nicholson's.

Yes – Heath has done the impossible by surpassing Crazy Jack in every possible way.

At this point, there’s only one thing left to say: Why haven’t you left yet?

mmm thought it was great, but didn't think it was the best movie ever. There was not nearly enough batman in this batman film, tbh Posted 07/18/2008 6:27 PMReply

There aren't too many movies I've ever seen that I would say had me on the proverbial "edge of my seat". Try not to hold your breath too long. Posted 07/19/2008 2:33 PMReply

The movie itself wasnt AMAZING, but Heath Ledger's performance was amazing for sure. He did in fact, do a better job that Jack Nicholson. Posted 07/20/2008 10:38 AMReply
