The gold standard of comic book movies. The apex of superhero movies. The greatest Batman movie there has ever been. My favourite film of all time.
Every single aspect of this movie is beyond spectacular. The performances, the story, the characters, the set pieces, it’s has everything you could possibly want and more. The storyline is filled with twists and turns, all of which are paid off to perfection. The addition of more action and improving upon it is masterfully done. It’s ridiculously clever in its dialogue, it’s set ups for what’s yet to come and each scene leaves you constantly hungry for more.
Christian Bale is a fantastic Batman, I love how he’s developed the character in TDK so that we come to realise that Batman is who he is and Bruce Wayne is the mask he wears. But the stand out is obviously the late, great Heath Ledger as the Joker. He’s chaotic, creepy, terrifying, utterly insane and dominates the screen. His introduction is one of my favourite scenes and he just gets better and better as the film goes on, he truly steals the show. The whole cast performs perfectly and I was particularly impressed with Eckhart’s take on Dent. Oldman, Freeman and Caine are as brilliant as ever and Maggie Gyllenhall is a marked improvement as Rachel Dawes.
Zimmer’s score is once again out of this world. At times gritty and highly strung, giving some real horror suspense vibes and then again epic and grand when it needs to be.
Beautifully directed and shot by Chris Nolan. It’s his crowning jewel as a director and I feel this should’ve been up for best film and it would’ve won easily. His attention to detail is astounding. From the cinematography, to the music, the acting, the story, the writing, I cannot pick a single flaw.
It’s thrilling, gruesome, high octane, white knuckling, awe-inspiring cinema. If you get the opportunity to see it on the big screen I urge you to go. It’ll leave you speechless.
The GOAT.
