Review of The Dark Knight (2008) by Gwf1987 — 22 Jul 2019
Greatest comic film of all time.
Everything is on the ball. Acting, story, cinematography, score, action. You name it this film knocks it out of the park. Bale gives another killer performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne with a great performanceGreatest comic film of all time.

Bale gives another killer performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne with a great performance from Michael Caine as Alfred. Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart were stellar as Gordon and Harvey.
The stand out performance is obviously Heath Ledger as The Joker. He's scary, but compelling. Every moment he's on screen in a joy and he steals the show. A much deserved Oscar was given to Ledger post-humously for this performance.
In the years since it's release this type of filmmaking has become taboo for comic movies, with films that put character and story above cringey jokes and a formulaic plot structure being panned because critics have decided that if it's not Disney, it is automatically bad.I honestly believe had this film been released in 2018 instead of 2008 it'd have been panned by critics for being too dark and serious and not having enough humor, and for the "crime" of not being linked to Disney in some way.
