The Dark Knight

So yesterday i decide to go watch “The Dark Knight” . I initialy didn’t feel like going to watch it because all of the hype . The thing is , usualy i would use IMDB as a reference to see how good a movie is. But IMDB has failed me. The Dark Knight has been boosted up to the top of the top 100 movies of all times by the fanboys yelling it’s the best and the previous number 1 being the godfather was horribly boring. How ever if you shed some light on it , the Godfather might not be super new and full of high tech things , it has to be put in it’s era.

Nether the less , i decided to go watch The Dark Knight. Filled with negative emotions about all the hype i entered the movie theatre. Only to have it blown away in a few minutes. I wouldn’t go as far as calling it THE best movie , but it certainly gives other classic high rated movies a run for its money. As far as the acting of Heath Ledger goes it truely is sublime. He plays an excellent joker and is most likely one of the key selling points of the movie. (Ignoring the attention people their work get upon someone passing away) HOWEVER he is not the only selling point. The acting of Christian Bale is truely a exellent piece of work too. Obviously the others were very good aswell , but i must admit i didn’t pay particular attention to them so i refuse to judge them on what i remember vaguely.

My advice is to just go see it , and ignore the whole judments that you gained before you even saw it. Go in there and just be objective , and see that it is truely a good movie .
