Dark Knight is great. The best comic or graphic novel film I’ve seen. The fantastic nature of the characters and story line are evolved convincingly but with a pacing that makes it gripping. The contrasts between the characters and how the story effects them really pulls the whole piece together for me and makes it more than a linear action story line. Direction and cinematography are really solid, and the special effects guys flip an 18 wheeler which is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Great performances by everyone involved. I especially liked Maggie Gyllenhaal’s performance of Rachel Dawes. She gave more rounded emotion to character than Katie Holmes did. Bale, Caine and Aaron Eckhart develop their characters nicely.Heath Ledger is actually very bloody good indeed and Gary Oldman as usual puts down a great performance.
I’m not suprised it’s grossing so much, $602 million world wide so far, though I think that’s probably taken the studio by suprise.
In the UK the film is rated 12A. No cuts were made to the film and the extended classification is here. I’d probably see it yourself before taking anyone less than 15 so you understand what the classification is referring to.
