Ratings For The Dark Knight.

The Dark Knight merits:

The Dark Knight is a study of social interaction in The City of Gotham.

We see more of Bruce Wayne because Wayne is a social animal. Bales performance of Wayne was Excellent Batman's portrayal was strong except for The Voice. The director acknowledged this considering it wasn't convincing even for the criminal element within the movie.

Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine with NO help from Gyllenhaal injected the aspects of Family and Friendship into the film. When The Dark Knight was in need Their presence was felt by the audience. The idea that Bruce Wayne doesn't have a family or a friend or a steady girlfriend never surfaced. Such was the strength of performance by Freeman and Caine.

Heath Ledger brought The Joker on screen. The genius The voice The mannerisms The laugh The crazy. It was a virtuoso performance. The Joker does not interact out of necessity He directs events and interacts at leisure. He inspires fear and awe from the audience and from the Gotham community. The subplot concerning his ever-changing origin story is hilarious.

Gary Oldman brought Gordon on Screen. Gordon was about a moral code, order and Liaison.The booking of Joker was done by the book except for a moment of weakness [perfectly human considering the circumstances.] Betrayed at every turn Gordon adhered to his principles, something no other character did until The End when he Relented to preserve Order. Though Not Commissioner in The Film He acts like one without overstepping his authority.

Harvey Dent. Two Face to A T.
This was the 2nd Best performance of The Film.
Harvey brought to the table the aspect of Work. Because in Any Community People Work. And His Character did most of The Working on screen. Aaron Eckhard also brought The concept of Integrity into Play.

Drama was injected with superb casting and Performances by actors in walk in roles.
Tommy Campbell Passenger No1 and Tommy Lister The Big Silent Prisoner remember them. The tension was Epic.

All the Supporting Characters were excellent in the roles they were cast. Det Montoya's body language was a subtle hint for the audience. Lau the broker was a means to introduce the films tech and to introduce everyone to everyone. The Joker to the Mob, The Asst DA in her day job to the audience The Mob to The Courtroom Bruce Wayne to The Board The Judge to The Joker And Harvey Dent to The courtroom.

The Dark Knight Cons:

The Leading Lady Performance is not worth mentioning. It GRATED.

The role itself was crucial to the flow of the film. The character as performed seemed to have a draining effect on The other characters[This may have served as an anchor to the audience during some of Heath Ledger and Eckhart's(Dent) virtuoso performances]
The Draining Effect was visibly intensified after the characters screen exit.

Rating 8/10

I gave it a 9.

The Dark Knight is a 10/10

10/10

Only 10/10 movie along with TIH.

10/10...

One of the few movies that I happily enjoyed all the way. I welcome it to my top 10s.

Also 10/10, but I think the thread starter nailed it pretty well in his description. 👆

Maggie was awesome, I hate how people are complaining when she actually did a great job. You guys wanted someone better than Katie Holmes and that's what you got.

It was alright. Maggie's performance was just 'meh' and I although it was slow at times, it had some very dramatic scenes.

I thought the whole movie was amazing and had no bad scenes. Maggie was hawt and was pretty good.

Maggie did not bother me too much, although she was definately not the strongest actor in the movie.

I would rank it a 10 honestly.

1. Ledger
2. Eckhart & Oldman tied
3. Bale

I only have 2 main problems with the film

1) The music got to loud at times
2) Half the time i had no idea what the hell Batman was saying
3) The Joker relied on to much going right for his plan to work

I agree. Maggie was TONNES better than Katie Holmes.

I gladly give TDK a 10/10. Terrific movie.

well my last fault was more of a nag...😛

I liked Maggie like RW said she was much better then Katie Holmes, a lot more humanistic as well.

😆

9.8

-.2 points for Batman's voice

I gave it a 9. Fantastic film, but the story had pacing problems. In my opinion, they should have ended the film without killing Dent, so he could go on to be his own villain in a new film. Two-Face is too good a character and too good a villain to be thrown away after 45 minutes.

But a fine film.

I liked Batman's voice. The Music did get loud at times though, might have been intentional. And I don't actually think that Joker relied on too much for his plan to work, there much worse examples.
