SERIOUS KAAHE??

FILM:The Dark Knight
DIRECTOR: Christopher Nolan
CAST: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart




Superhero movies are about sexy suites, cool action sequences, impossible and superhuman stunts and many more. The Dark Knight, including all these thrills is still, much beyond these petty desires of a "public"....

Batman Begins, the first part, was having a strong story line, but was more like a long trailer, I mean that the two different scenes were almost instantaneously spaced and the whole movie goes very very fast....I saw it day before yesterday and I said it should have been longer and the scenes should be given more time, Dark Knight fulfills my wish...

The plot is set up on just after a year after where Batman Begins, ended....Batman joins forces with Lieutenant Jim Gordon(Gary Oldman) and District Attorney for Gotham city, Harvey Dent(Aaron Eckhart ) with the mission to put the remaining criminals of Gotham behind the bars....This combination seems unbeatable and unbreakable unless comes the Joker(Heath Ledger, RIP).

Joker seems to break the complete Gotham defence and hurts Batman badly too....He goes under a continuous spree of murdering people with the condition that he would stop if Batman discloses who he is...The plot then gets more intriguing and fast paced and is backed up with excellent dialogues, background music and one of the best actions of all time....

I can assure that Heath Ledger, who is no more with us, will be given the Academy Award for the best Villain....I hope he is given it....because he has become the defining factor of this edition of the Batman.

Christian Bale, who plays Batman has been a charm in this movie. I loved him after I watched him in The Prestige, but here he breaks all shackles and gives a great performance...Director Christopher Nolan has truly improved as compared to the last part and has improved to such a great extent that he has pushed up the stature of a mere comic hero in comparison to all time greats like the Gladiator, The Godfather and the others, and IMDB rates it 9.3 currently(above The Godfather I and II)

We hope such standards are maintained in the third part too...
