If you thought Batman Begins was amazing, then you'll definitely love The Dark Knight.
We see a return of the Joker (played amazingly by Heath Ledger), and its such an iconic character, and is better than the Joaquin Phoenix's or Jared Leto's Joker (but that's for another review). This Joker, however, is what really makes this movie stand out, and also what makes him easily the best Joker by far. His insanity and condescending nature is not to be taken lightly, as both the audience and in-movie characters come to understand.
Christian Bale returns as Batman, and once again, gives an iconic performance. We see a more aggressive side of Batman this time around. His presence already may strike fear into those on the opposing end, but in this movie, breathe incorrectly and that's a done deal.
And also, we see a more serious Harvey Dent (played by Aaron Eckhart), and it's easily better than Tommy Lee Jones's Two-Face. I know it sounds like sacrilege, given how I praised TLJ's Two-Face in my Batman Forever review, but here, Eckhart's Two-Face is for more threatening and malicious, and it really solidifies his legacy as the perfect Two-Face.
I can't even think of anything wrong with this movie. This movie just nails the Batman setting we've all come to know and love. It just starts, and just snowballs into action after action, and it shows no sign of giving up until someone or something makes it.
I love this movie. This is Batman at its best. 10/10.
