The Dark Knight …is Art.

July 18th, 2008 by intr0vert

Whatever they’ve written about The Dark Knight. It’s all true.

Heath Ledger’s swan song was breathtaking. This is the insane, full force, no bullshit Joker that every Batman Comics reader has hoped would see reality. His magnificent performance pushes this highest-caliber crime drama completely beyond the superhero genre. Christopher Nolan has thrown us to the absolute bottom of the rabbit hole. The plot twists like a leviathan and fearlessly spares NO ONE. My biggest concern is that this movie killed the franchise. Enjoy this movie… there may be nowhere left to go from here.

The marketing was perhaps the best that has ever been in American Cinema. If you believe The Dark Knight is over hyped, then you haven’t seen it yet.

9.4/10 - I’m not telling you this is the perfect movie, It felt a bit stretched and sometimes hard to swallow… but its faults are few and far between. This Is Art.

Should you be in Hollywood and lucky enough to catch it at the Arclight, Costumes from the film and the Bat Pod will be on display this weekend. Who’s ready for The Watchmen?
