The Dark Knight Revised Movie Review

The Dark Knight
this film won 2 Oscars, had 46 other wins, and was nominated 47 times for various categories. This film is an Action,Crime, and Thrilller.
The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan's major mind blower after 2005's Batman Begins, is an outdone comic-book movie. Intense action? It’s there. Jaw dropping twists? It’s there. Devilish fun? It’s there. But Nolan is just getting started. There's something ready to jump out of this film and capture you and pull you in. Springing out from his original Batman story, The Dark Knight creates an area where good and evil will fight, but neither know when to start. "I don't want to kill you," the Joker says. "You complete me." He’s serious. “Why so serious?”
The trouble begins when Batman, a.k.a. playboy Bruce Wayne, gets his hero job stolen by Harvey Dent(Aaron Eckhart). Now the city of Gotham view Batman as a bad guy and they don’t trust him. The joker comes in when the hero battle is hot. His havoc is spread all around Gotham, endangering everyone. Batman’s love, Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), is killed by the Joker(Heath Ledger). Both Batman and Harvey are in love with her. Harvey turns to the dark side and works with the Joker. Bruce finally kills the Joker and Harvey, but goes into hiding and has to run from the law. “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Heath Ledger did an exceptional job in this part. He made you feel like you were actually talking and watching the for-real Joker. Sadly he must have gotten to into his part, because before the film was released, he committed suicide. Nolan did an amazing job of keeping the plot flowing. I was sitting on the edge of my seat the first, second, and third time I saw this film. The emotion of the characters made me want to jump out of my seat and share the anger, frustration, and happiness of the mood. I feel in love with the whole movie.
This film doesn’t really connect with anyway of life today, other than there is good and evil and we are constantly battling. This film was based off the famous comic book series. Hopefully, Nolan will come out yet again with another action-packed sequal. I give this film two thumbs up. And five Stars out of five. You all need to lighten up. “Why so serious?”
