From his menacing, pencil-packing greeting to Gotham’s Mob fraternity (one of the most economic and effective character introductions ever), to the threat and fire he conjures in exchanges with Maggie Gyllenhaal’s sexy, sophisticated brief and “The Bat-maaan”, to the Sophie’s choice surprises of the third act, he is pure, powerful, immense.
THE DARK KNIGHT FULL HD MOVIE
Cynics suggested his passing would boost the box office pessimists griped that a comic-book movie could never serve as a suitable epitaph to the Brokeback Mountain star.Īnd - yes - as was, perhaps, always inevitable, The Dark Knight is Ledger’s movie.

And welcome to The Dark Knight, an anarchic, malevolent fury of a movie that takes a switchblade to the face of summer conformity and carves a work of twisted beauty out of it.Īnticipation and escalation were the key words in the build up to, post-Indy, 2008’s most hyped and combustible blockbuster. Welcome to Gotham, where no good deed goes unpunished. The psychotic terrorist torturing civilians and chopping up criminals… Well, he’s just about the most charismatic character you’ll ever meet. The only good cop in the city employs dishonest ones. The hero is a billionaire industrialist who likes to beat people up.
