The Dark Knight Review

The Dark Knight is the latest in the Batman series. One word sums this up...WOW!

Christian Bale is back again as a fine Batman. (My favorite is and always will be Michael Keaton) And Heath Ledger does a remarkable job as the Joker. (Here too, I have to say my favorite is Jack Nickelson)

 Right from the very beginning the movie starts out with a burst of action. Bad guys, who are affiliated with the Joker, start robbing mob banks. Everyone is mad, blaming each other and trying to figure out where they can stash their money. The mob boss in Hong Kong decides he's going to take everyone's money and keep it in his country. He feels because he's so far away, no one will bother him or their money. Then enters the Joker who puts the kabosh on those plans.

From here there are quite a few scenes that go from here to there and back again. Introduced intoi the story is the new DA who just so happens to be in love with Rachael. The same girl Bruce Wayne was in love with in the last movie.

Because this is such a good movie, I truly don't want to spoil it for those who want to see it. So I will only give you a few tid-bits. The Joker claims he will kill someone every day, until Batman removes his mask.

The new DA decides he wants to be Batman's replacement so he tells the world he's Batman. While the police are trying to transport him to a safe jail, the Joker reaks havoc on the city and everyone around him as he tries to stop them. He wants Batman and he wants to kill him.

There's a scene where the DA and Rachael are in a room with tons of explosives. Only one of them gets out alive. One of them gets half their face burned, good becomes evil and another villian is born...or not.

i know this isn't as indepth as most of my reviews are, but like i said, this is such a good movie, I don't want to spoil it for others who want to see it.

This is a must see movie and when it comes out on DVD, if you collect, you better get this one. It's well worth it.
