The Dark Knight (2008)
Masterpiece of superhero cinema
From the start to finish, The Dark Knight offers an absolutely breathtaking approach to the superhero genre unprecedented until now. The gritty realism it offers combined with the Oscar-winning performance of Heath Ledger as the infamous Joker culminates for what is arguably Christopher Nolan's greatest film as of now. My only critic is any villain portrayal after this is immediately degraded as none are able to come close to the psychotic character we are treated to here - even my critique was another compliment. So, do yourself a favour and watch the Dark Knight Trilogy - at least Begins and this - to fully appreciate what genius Nolan is able to represent in this action crime-drama that will blow you away. It goes to show that 6 years later this film still remains the best of the comic-book films given the added competition of the Marvel films - none coming close to the spectacle of this.
