The Dark Knight

Batman a series of television shows, comic books and films has finally blown itself away with the filmThe Dark Night directed, produced and co-written by Christopher Nolan.  Nolan decided to sit back down into the directors chair and make an extraordinary sequel to Batman Begins.  This film, released in 2008 and right away made all other super-hero films look horrendous by including loads of special effects, having great costume and makeup, as well, getting the most amazing actors to play for all the different and interesting roles. 
Initially this film wasn’t the best I had seen, but I have to admit over time it will grow on everyone and anyone. Even if you are not the type to watch an action packed super hero film, you honestly can’t help yourself from getting sucked into this one!
A part of the movie that blew me away was the costumes and makeup used, especially on the Joker played by Heath Ledger.  This was what pretty much made his character all together- the green greasy hair, the white wrinkled face paint, the bright red creepy smile with old yellow teeth, all made him what everyone knows as the Joker.  
Heath Ledger’s acting for the Joker was outstanding as well, everything he did was perfect for the character he was playing, especially the different tones of voices he used.  I personally believe that Heath’s acting made the film what it was and without him the movie would have just been so-so.  There is really no surprise for why he won numerous awards for his fantastic role play. 
This movie is 100% one that I would recommend to several people, being older or younger I think that everyone will find this film fantastic and end up loving it for different reasons.  Overall I would rathe this movie a 9 out of 10.
