The Dark Knight 2008, PG-13)
I'm writing this one down as one of my top 5 films of all time. Ledger's performance is everything the hype says it is. If you take away the "Batman" aspect of the film, the story being told goes down as one of the best ever. The characters develop quite nicely throughout the film. At its core, the Joker is one of the best written characters ever, again, only enhanced by Ledger's performance. Bale again proves that he is the best actor to have ever taken on the role. Nolan's direction of the actors and the action scenes is perfect. I'm torn between wanting to see a 3rd installment versus letting this one stand as the best comic film ever. One thing is for sure, 50 years from now if someone decides to make another Batman film, he or she should not include the Joker character. |

Hands down the best movie this year and in the last 5. There is no justice if this doesn't win multi awards at the globes and the Oscars. Ellen Page is absolutely incredible in the lead role. Since Hard Candy, I've said she is a star in waiting. This one proves she is. Beautiful direction and a wonderful script. |
