The Dark Knight Ratings & Reviews
- MikeOctober 11, 2024The Dark Knight is, arguably, the best comicbook film ever made and remains one of my favorite films "Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight." I have always liked the Batman films, and the Joker is for me one of the most interesting DC characters. Combine this with the fact that Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite director’s and Hans Zimmer is one of my favorite composers, The Dark Knight was a dream come true! The cinematography of The Dark Knight, especially with the IMAX scenes, look aesthetically stunning. The Gotham flyover’s and the characteristic way Batman is framed in the shots is beautifully done. The modern, yet atmospheric and dark, looking Gotham City makes this feel like a real Batman film but in a refreshing way. Hans Zimmer enhanced the cinematography with his dark and epic sounding score. A score that really fits the atmosphere of Gotham City and the Batman character. The acting in The Dark Knight is the best out of the trilogy. Heath Ledger depicted the Joker like no one else. His acting is, arguably, one of the best performances in film history. Not only the acting, but also the costume design, contributed to this great depiction of the Joker. This modern-day Batman is (not by far) my favorite Batman out of all of them. His suit is definitely one of the most detailed and beautiful looking suit out of all of them. Combine this with Christian Bale’s charisma, the modern gadgets and the Tumbler, and you will have an interesting Vigilante that you empathize with. As a Batman, Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer fan it is no surprise that The Dark Knight Trilogy are my favorite comicbook films. Even if you’re not a comicbook fan, The Dark Knight remains one of the best films ever made. Letterboxd: Mike_v_E

- Spaceman JoeMay 30, 2025One of the best super hero and just movies of all time
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024Just a fantastic movie. This version of the Joker is hands down the best ever put to screen.
- Vincent ReggianniniMay 24, 2025Easily the most outstanding Comic Book Hero movie to date, with great writing, smart dialogue and an epic confrontation of Batman’s ideology with The Joker’s chaotic and psychological attack on human nature. Ledger’s performance is both hypnotic and terrifying - the perfect blend of playful banter, human nature and terrifying sociopathic tendencies. Ledger makes you concentrate on what he will do next, and not “where did he come from?”. Bale’s obsession with his <to be continued>
- artistic234May 26, 2025Another early morning watch, and I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. The Dark Knight is also one of not many movies that made me feel emotion. This Batman movie truly feels like a true thriller. Seriously. It's an outstanding movie. This movie is also able to pull off good villains and put you on the edge of your seat. While watching, it immerses you in the situation. It's so menacing in a way, because you don't know what happens next. It isn't predictable. Even the soundtrack improves the movie as you watch, adding tension to scene after scene. No one is guaranteed to be alive either, besides Batman. The villains are also great. The joker is done so well in this movie. R.I.P Heath Ledger. Even the next villain in the movie who I won't name, terrifies you. He can snap at any moment, exploring the concept of chance. Nolan made another masterpiece. 9/10.
