I can\u2019t believe I coined a movie the best superhero movie ever twice in the same year, but here goes: The Dark Knight<\/em> is the best superhero movie edging out Ironman<\/em>! Ironman<\/em> is extremely high quality entertainment, but it does not transcend the typical super-hero movie. Batman<\/em> is much more than a super-hero movie \u2013 it\u2019s a fantastic movie in its own right. It\u2019s dark and gritty and you get high quality entertainment, brilliant performances and hefty topics (death, illegal wiretapping, anti-heroism).<\/p>\n

I loved the original Batman<\/em>, but the sequel is on a whole other level. Director Chris Nolan does a fantastic job at telling a complicated tale. It\u2019s the fastest two and a half hour movie I ever saw. Not once did I feel the movie the plot was moving too slowly. Most of the performances are fantastic. It\u2019s an all star cast and everyone seems to be doing that extra something special. I had read Heath Ledger\u2019s performance in particular was fantastic, but I wondered how much of that praise came from sympathy over his terrible fate. My cynical doubts were put to rest: Heath Ledger\u2019s performance is gripping. His speech on anarchy is terrifying!<\/p>\n

The movie is not perfect. I did not buy Maggie Gyllenhaal as the love interest to Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart \u2013 she\u2019s a great actress, but she\u2019s just not pretty enough! I also had a hard time buying Aaron Eckhart\u2019s transformation.<\/p>\n

These minor quibbles aside, this is the best movie of the year and you should all see it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
