Mike Hall: For Sale

“Hypnotically epic and astounding, the greatest Batman film of all time.”

“Good evening, ladies and gentle men… we are [this summer's] entertainment.”
Batman has always been my favorite super hero but today Batman has reached a new level. The Dark Knight is not only greatest movie of 2008 but the greatest super hero film ever created. It takes Batman to a level that has never been shown in anything but the imaginations of it’s fans.
The most exciting part of the film is Heath Ledger’s performance as Joker. Maitland McDonagh’s beautiful review for TV Guide stated,

“Ledger’s mesmerizingly damaged agent provocateur is the film’s dark heart, a presence so malevolently unpredictable that it remains palpable even when he’s not on screen.”

I have now seen the film in the IMAX and in a regular theater and I have to say…. if you can, you must see it in the IMAX. It makes a world of difference. Christopher Nolan has the brilliant idea to film several of the key sequences with an IMAX camera. This gives an experience that one truly has to see to believe. Erin McCarthy for Popular Mechanics has a more detailed description as well as a video which you can view at from the following link, http://bit.ly/1biKg2. I have to once again give my compliments to Heath Ledger. Truly he has created an everlasting villain. The performances of Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine and Maggie Gyllenhaal are awe inspiring. If you have not seen this film, drop everything, leave it all and go. Go and see The Dark Knight. It has truly earned it’s five star review.
The Dark Knight: ★★★★★
