Review of The Dark Knight (2008) by Alex A — 10 Jan 2016
The Dark Knight is overly pretentious and self-important at times, and beats its themes over your head too often. Aaron Eckhart did well as Harvey Dent, but overacts as two-face, Batman's raspy voice was unnecessary and laughable, and the "love triangle" between Bruce, Rachel & Harvey felt uninteresting and hammy.
The Dark Knight benefits from sharp cinematography, an iconic antagonist in Heath Ledger's posthumous performance, solid action and an epic score, but as a whole it isn't flawless like it's popularity makes it out to be.
