“The Dark Knight” is a film that is based on the character of Bruce Wayne or better known as Batman. Of course this film is full of action and takes place in Gotham City. The Joker is Batman’s arch nemesis in this film that is played by Keith Ledger, who was fantastic in this film. His methodical killings and plans were no match for Batman. Once again he rises above evil besides all the obstacles in his way.
This is your typical superhero film that includes action, romance and good vs evil. Although this film contains all the typical requirements of a film of this nature, the plot was fantastic because it gave the audience an actual story rather than calculated mayhem. Of course the acting was suburb, especially Keith Ledger who dived into his role as the Joker. In all my life I have never seen a more convincing lunatic in any movie. In my opinion this is why “The Dark Knight” was number one in the box office in 2008, it included something for everyone.
The use of film music was tremendous in this movie, the timing and type of music was very well done. During many of the fighting and chase scenes there was music, a low almost thunder sounding beat that enforced and enhanced the tone of the scene, as well as the viewing experience. Acting like I mentioned earlier also played a huge role in why this film was so popular among movie goers.
There are always films where you say to yourself “oh that’s a rental, not a film I would watch in theatres”, this is not one of those films. “The Dark Knight” is an exciting action/thriller that includes amazing explosions and beyond amazing action. This is by far one of my favourite films of all time; I would rate this film 5/5 and would recommend it to anyone who hasn’t already seen it 5 times.
