Synopsis
Batman (Christian Bale) continues to eliminate crime in Gotham City with the help of Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). The Dark Knight wants to finally get rid of organized crime for good and be free of their corruption. Batman soon finds that a new psychopathic mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger) has taken over organized crime. After the fall of Carmine Falcone, the remaining crime bosses try to pick up the pieces. However, the Joker is killing them off one by one. The Joker's plan is to terrify the citizens and throw the city into chaos, and then kill Batman. Batman takes the fight with the Joker personal, which makes him confront his own beliefs. The Joker is the most dangerous criminal that Batman has encountered, and he will need all his strength and vigilance to defeat him.
Comment
I bought 'Batman Begins' last week so I could watch it before going to see this "Must See" movie and although I enjoyed the DVD, I was a little disappointed as I found it quiet heavy going. I realise now that this first installment was laying the foundations for The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight is nothing short of AWESOME!
The film, although over 150 minutes long, went by in an instant and I never for one moment feeling bored or distracted.
The movie is dark, scary and a thrill a minute. It has you jumping out of your skins in parts and quaking with fear. The acting is brilliant, Christian Bale was born to play Batman and YES I have to agree with the movie reviewers who are saying that Heath Ledger gave his finest acting performance of his career. Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Cain were also all superb in the supporting roles making The Dark Knight worthy of the title 'Biggest Box Office Debut Ever'!
