The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Cillian Murphy (returning for a cameo with Scarecrow). This is a great movie, I saw it 3 times already. Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was amazing. I hope he gets nominated for an Oscar for his performance. There was so much about this movie I enjoyed, directing, writing, acting, cinematography, production, and pace.

I loved the dynamic between The Joker and Batman. Nolan is a genius and finally gave us 2 Batman movies that the fans of the graphic novels can enjoy.

There is only one small thing that I didn't like. Christian Bale uses a deeper voice when he is Batman which was great in Batman Begins, but in The Dark Knight his voice got even deeper and sounded more of a growl then I would have liked.

I give this movie 5 stars out of 5!
