Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Despite the tensions between its form and its function, The Dark Knight succeeds far more than it fails, and lingers provocatively in the mind.
Fresh: Watching The Dark Knight is like gazing into a mirror on a waning moon night: chilling and mesmerizing.
Fresh: Christopher Nolan is much, much smarter than your average filmmaker.
Fresh: The film is so relentlessly bleak that, paradoxically, its blackness is not given its full due. But this comic-book movie is more disturbing, and has more freakish power, than anything else I've seen all year.
Customer Reviews
The Best. Period.
This is the best superhero movie I've ever seen. It might just be the best movie I've ever seen. The plot and dialogue are well thought-out and exciting, the acting is spctacular from all sides (and yes, Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar), the special effects and action are awesome, and the directing is top-notch. I think this movie deserves an Oscar in every category, and that everyone should buy this, especially if you like action, suspense, or Batman.
You want to know how I got these scars???
Believe the hype. This twisted, deep, and exciting movie will blow you away. Heath Ledger (The Joker) puts on an epic performance that will be hailed forever in cinema history.
Why So Serious ?!
The Best Batman Movie Ever Created, Nolan Is A Mastermind! Heath Ledger's Perfomance Is Oscar Worty! (May He Rest In Peace)
