greatest movie ever
10 years later & it feels like it just came out watching on the Imax screen!! Hope it's done again for the 20th
May be the most hopeless, despairing comic-book movie in memory. It creates a world where being a superhero is at best a double-edged sword and no triumph is likely to be anything but short-lived.
Mixing bravura filmmaking with flat clichés in about equal amounts, The Dark Knight is all about dualism. Appropriately, the movie's half-inspired, half-frustrating.
An action blockbuster extravaganza that's sadder than sad and never pretends otherwise.
