    Putting the joke in the Joker

    The Batman movie everyone was waiting for. The movie is being considered to be the best comic book movie of all time. However, did people like the movie for Dark Knight, or for the Dark Prince of Crime. It was directed and Written by Christopher Nolan,Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer   and has Many Acting Talent Such as Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Aaron Eckhart, Morgon Freeman, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal,  Eric Roberts, and actor who put on a bit to much make-up, Heath Ledger. 

    The storyline is Complex , while not having the two problems that most comic book movies have; which is being to comic(Watchmen) or nearly  getting every fact wrong (Origins:Wolverine). It is one of those movies you need to watch four or five times to fully understand it. They was no real music and the only Special effects excpect for the second face of two-face, and this movie has something the other Batman movies didn't have:
      
    Batman actually looking like Batman. 
     
    The acting was kind of 50/50. I think Bale does a good Bruce Wayne, but a bad batman. Alfred, Lucius Fox, Maroni  and Commissioner Gordon were perfect and i don't care about Rachel because shes not a comicbook character. Just like Bale, Eckhart does a good Harvey, but a Terrible Two-face. No one else will be able to replace Heath ledger(however, thats what they said about Jack Nicholson), the LedgerJoker is a bit more psychopathic than comicJoker, but thats the comics falut.

    I belive that every hero or heroes has got the ability to make truely awesome Movies and this shows that im right. I don't belive The Dark Knight should not have a sequel, the next Bat movie be Justice League. But if they do have a sequel: Riddler. I think this movies entire success comes from the joker and a sequel would not be a major win.                                                                                   WHY SO SERIOUS

    I think Jack could have been a better Joker I mean have you seen the Shining he is very freaky in that film. There have been worse Batmen but Bale wasn't the best. He was however a great Bruce Wayne. Two-Face could have been better but it wasn't as bad as Batman Forever. Joker of coarse was awesome.

      What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said....This Is THE GREATEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!Christopher Nolan has shown the world that Batman isn't a franchise that died off after Batman and Robin, he shows that there is still an audience for this type of movie. Chris Nolan has pretty much made the movie of his career it'll be hard for any of his other movies to top this movie. This is the Batman film that we've all wanted to see, it's dark and very violent for a PG-13 mo...

      Yes, The Dark Knight is an incredible film, and it definitely has appeal for the masses -but I don’t think it lived up to all the hype it has received.   For the most part, the plot was well thought out and the story seemed to flow quite nicely but at times it tends to drag on a bit.   There are awesome visual effects in this movie, notably Two-Face’s, scared face.  Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine were all pleasures to watch, and Heath Ledger really did give the perf...
