The Dark Knight, 2008

Rating: A+

Director: Christopher Nolan

Actors: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman

Plot: Set within a year after the events of Batman Begins, Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new district attorney Harvey Dent successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City until a mysterious and sadistic criminal mastermind known only as the Joker appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos. Batman's struggle against the Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him.

My Thoughts: During the movie I did get a little confused, but my questions were sooned answered. This is a movie one really needs to watch more than once to fully understand the meaning behind it. It was probably one of the best movies I've seen. I love a movie with a good story, and The Dark Knight definitely had one. There's a lot more things going on in the movie than just the battle between Batman and the Joker. A love triangle and an inner battle between good and evil are a couple of the examples. Definitely amazing movie one would continue to watch over and over.
