The Dark Knight 2008

The perfect sequel to Batman Begins it also sets up the stage for what is coming next.

Heath Ledger delivers a performance for the ages and brings a Joker to life unlike any we have seen before. His acting here lifts the movie to the next level. Aaron Eckahardt comes in as Harvey Dent, another really good casting decision. Rachel Dawes is portrayed now by Maggie Gyllenhall which kind of proofs my point that Katie Holmes was replaceable.
Everything here is right. A great story that is about characters, about people. Awesome production value - it really pays off to do as much pratical photography as possible thanks to Chris Nolan. I think even 10 years down the line this won't look dated. Amazing sound design and all packed with a soundtrack from one of the masters of his trade, Hans Zimmer.
Seriously, this is one of the best action-superhero movies ever done and I think it will stay on top for a very long time.
