Dark Knight

Pros: great cast, very dramatic, Ledger, lots of action, well-done picture

Cons: very violent, a tad long, it's a comic book film

The Bottom Line: Everything fans would want it to be, it doesn't pull any punches, and presents a spirited foray into the darker side of the comic.

Review: It was in 2005 that the Batman franchise was reborn under the direction of Christopher Nolan. Bringing back a darker side to the caped crusader, Nolan sought to not only make the DC comic book hero seem more realistic, but give him an edge that he had ...

Pros: Deep, moving, thinking man's action. Oscar worthy performances, and effects.

Cons: None. It is as close to perfect as any Superhero movie has come.

The Bottom Line: This complex thoughtful movie perfectly reflects the Batman. The Joker is Oscar Worthy.

Review: The Dark Knight (2008) Directed by Christopher Nolan ”You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Harvey Dent, District Attorney, Gotham City. When Heath Ledger died from drug ...

Pros: Plot, Character, Action, Pacing, Special Effects, Soundtrack, Acting

Cons: None that I could find!

The Bottom Line: Intense and dark, "The Dark Knight" creates a violent, action-packed cineamtic experience that reminds the viewer how great superhero films can be!

Review: Superhero movies are the reason we have Summer Blockbuster Season. For the summer, we want big, bold and something that is enough to drive us to the theater (other than the air conditioning) to get excited about. For those who do not follow my reviews, I ...

Pros: Heath Ledger does a great job as the Joker.

Cons: none!

The Bottom Line: The Dark Knight is a really good movie.

Review: I remember when the Dark Knight animated series came out. I was fascinated by the graphics. Then they came out with the movie. It took me a very long time to allow myself to finally watch it. But something told me that I should when a friend of mine ...

Pros: E-V-E-R-Y Thing – A masterpiece of movie making

Cons: Christian’s Batman voice on occasion

The Bottom Line: This has made it to my list of top 10 movies of all time. It's a fantastic and explosive story with thought-provoking moments.

Review: Growing up as a fan of Batman stories I was awed by Tim Burton's darkly gothic visual presentation. I couldn't care less about Adam West's Batman, but Michael Keaton's - I was all about it. I was also a big fan of Jack Nicholson's Joker. He's gotten a ...

Pros: Fantastic cast and character development.  Heath Ledger stole the show!

Cons: Hard to hear the distorded voice of batman.

The Bottom Line: Loved it!  Have already purchased it for myself and as a gift.  A little dark but would highly recommend!

Review: I have to say I truly enjoyed this sequel to Batman Begins.  The Dark Knight definitely lived up to all the hype and I do feel that Heath Ledger delivered an “Oscar” worthy performance (I would feel the same if he was still ...

Pros: Dark, gritty, gripping, realistic

Cons: Not for the kids; Bale still better as Bruce Wayne than as Batman

The Bottom Line: Not for the kids, but the parents will find a phenomenal movie filled with amazing performances

Review: When Christopher Nolan made Batman Begins, he shocked audiences by giving them the grittiest, darkest, most realistic and by far best telling of the Batman mythos that had ever been done.  With this sequel, he one-ups himself.It's been a ...

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

The Bottom Line: Watch this movie NOW!

Review: Wow, what a summer. Its only halfway over and already I've been treated to two incredible super hero films, The Incredible Hulk and the masterpiece Iron Man which, to me, is one of the top three super hero films of all time along side the likes ...

Pros: Great action scenes, amazing performance by Heath Ledger

Cons: not suitable for children, perhaps a little too dark

The Bottom Line: This is a good movie for adults and children over 15.  The special edition DVD is worth paying the few extra dollars to get.

Review: Before I first saw The Dark Knight, I had heard that Heath Ledger would be playing as The Joker.  You’re kidding, I thought to myself, a Brokeback Joker?  I almost couldn’t believe what I had heard.  Nonetheless, I was ...

Pros: suspense, great plot, great acting

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Best action move since Transformers and Live Free, Die Hard

Review: This movie was arguably the best movie of 2008 for many reasons, one of them being that Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne) and Heath Ledger (the Joker) take their acting to an entirely different level.Just to give a synopsis of the Batman Begins ...
