The Dark Knight

  The Dark Knight

Well, this is one of the best films of 2008 in my opinion. Even though it wasn't nominated for Best Picture at The Academy Awards that year, it should've been counted along side the nominees. Christopher Nolan delivered us one of his best films of 2008 about the DC comic book character, introducing the sequel to The Dark Knight Trilogy's opener "Batman Begins"(2005). The film brought back notable actors Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman. Heath Ledger stars as the evil antagonist "the Joker", while Maggie Gylenhaal takes over Katie Holmes' previous role as Rachel Dawes,and Aarono Eckhart rounds up the cast as the "white knight" DA Harvey "Two-Face" Dent. Christian Bale gives a notable performance as Bruce Wayne/The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger got his well deserved Best Supporting Actor Award for his amazing work on his part, right before his death. Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart show strong leads as the other two main characters in this profamed sequel. Christopher Nolan, as usual, gives us an amazing directing as well as writing job. Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard escelate the difference of this film from the other batman films with his amazing score. Overall this film was very good. So i give it an 8/10.
