Review on Movie ‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)
This is the latest instalment of the batman movies, where the protagonist Bruce Wayne AKA Batman with the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent are still on the quest to dismantle all criminal activity in Gotham City.
The film was directed by Christopher Nolan who had worked on a number of batman titles, including ‘Batman Begins’ which is still a favourite years after its release, and it can be no doubt said that he did a fantastic job on this title as well.
For me this was the first batman movie I got the chance to watch in cinema and I was totally blown away by it, especially with the incredible range of the cast, from Michael Caine to Morgan Freeman, Heath Ledger and many more. I was most impressed especially with Heath Ledger who played ‘The Joker’ alongside Christian Bale ‘Batman’, they truly brought out the word ‘Dark’ to true meaning. Even though the movie was a surprising two and a half hours at least, to me it felt more like two and a half minutes, because I was so enveloped into the film, the majority of friends I knew pointed out that one critical point. To summarise the film as a whole, I can only give it one word, ‘Dark’, because the narrative here is like a maze. Usually at certain points it can either go left or right, but in the duration of this film you really don’t know where it will go next, the amount of times I was surprised in the direction it took was unprecedented.
