The Dark Knight

Dark knight

On Sunday, we went to see The Dark Knight. It was the best Batman movie I’ve ever seen. The movies they made in the 90’s were a joke (although the first two weren’t bad), and the one they made 3 years ago was the best up until now.
Heath Ledger was very good in his role as the Joker. The actors were all very good and the characters were well developed.
Even if you are not a fan of superhero movies, this one had a lot of elements that would appeal to a wide audience. It was more like a mystery/crime drama with a superhero thrown into the mix. If you want to get technical, Batman really isn’t what you think of as a typical superhero (Spiderman, Hulk, etc.) since he has no superpowers. He is more of a detective in a cape :) None the less, it was a good movie. It’s was long at 2 ½ hours, but it is well paced and I wasn’t bored at all.
