Review of The Dark Knight (2008) by Kyle B — 21 Oct 2018
It is rare that movies can be near-perfect, and this crafted film is the embodiment of flawless. Taking established characters and reinventing them with a fresh take subverts audience and fan expectations and drives home the originality.
The only thing that can rival the epic heights of Ledger's eerie portrayal is the incredible musical score by Hans Zimmer. This movie builds off the first installment as a continuation of the same story, and Nolan's interpretation of the great anti-hero takes an unexpected twist, providing fans with an epic finale that most movie-goers have not seen since the infamous Empire Strikes Back.
The satisfying conclusion will leave you wanting more as the somber tones stay with you long after the credits roll. What most? don't realize upon first viewing is that the film ends with a victory tallied for the Joker, and Batman taking on a villain-esqe role to cement a peace built on an epic lie.
This movie is a masterful must-see!
