THE DARK KNIGHT (Released to Theaters in the USA 2008)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

The Dark Knight, a winner from ‘go’ partially because Heath Ledger, as The Joker, becomes the King of Crime and because the casting choice of Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, and Eric Roberts is perfect all the way around. Great acting and portrayal make the movie ‘just plain fun to watch.’ Thank you to Director Christopher Nolan for a sequel worth watching more than once.
