The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is definitely the best film of 2008. It nears perfection in all of its qualities. The plot is dark and complex. The action is brutal and intense. The characters are deep and enigmas. And the acting is superb, especially from Heath Ledger, who is surely one of the film's crowning achievements. Heath just immerses himself so perfectly into the role. He was scary and psychotic as the Joker. Anyone who says he's overrated and that he's only getting so much attention because of his unfortunate death, look beyond that. Trust me, and you'll see a truly stellar performance. Heath did everything a great actor should and went beyond that. But I digress. Anyway, The Dark Knight nears masterpiece status with everything it accomplishes. It is not just a comic book movie, but a thrilling and suspenseful crime film. If you haven't already seen it, then go see it now. Heath Ledger for Best Supporting Actor!
