The Dark Knight can be considered as an action movie. In action movies I expect many things including a plot with twists and turns, and ups and downs. This is the type of movie that viewers shouldn’t get to comfortable because they never know what can happen next. Since there is a lot of action people should be expecting many fights, robberies, chases, explosives (guns) and more. My expectations were exceeded; the plot was excellent and always took some new twists and turns to make time fly by and make a series of events happen. The action sequences planned out by the joker were incredible. The superhero in the movie, the Dark Knight was a smart and incredible protagonist. The movie was well written it felt complete with the amount of body it had but at the same time was quick and smart; it is what made this movie more than a regular action movie. It is also what made the story go along smoothly and you can feel the emotions and feelings of the characters just by reading the dialogue. For example the way Batman struggles with being the hero. The directing was also the major factor that made the movie a success. The way Gotham was represented set the grim tone to the movie, the city filled with crime. I think the whole movie was well filmed and edited and there was no scene that I preferred over the other. The message behind the whole movie was good; it showed how the people cared of humanity and not only in the hero. The joker was a great character; the way his role was played should his capability of terrorizing. Not only did his acting make his a well played character but also the way they made him look and the way he spoke. The camera angles and lighting made everything flow. It also made the Joker look scarier than he already is and it also made him standout. For example when he was in the hospital dress up as a nurse, only when he turn around towards the camera in the bright hospital room made him standout and you can see every detail of those scary looking scars. He stood out because his scary looking grim didn’t blend in with the bright light and nurse outfit. Heath Leger was the best actor chosen to play this role. It had seemed like he had been doing that his whole life. He got into the role with every detail: the way he talked, walked, and you can see in his eyes the hate the joker had. I first had seen the movie the day it came out to theatres and I was amazed to see the amount of people who went to see this movie even thought not everyone is into superhero or action movies. This movie got rated as one of the best, I loved this movie even thought I am not really attracted to this type of movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is open minded and is into viewing any sort of movie but mainly I would go with the group age of teens and up.
