Review: "The Dark Knight"

2008-07-20 02:50:07 by Franck Tabouring in The Screening Log

Seen on: July 17, 2008

The players: Director: Christopher Nolan, Writers: Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, Cast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman

Facts of interest: Had a $150 million budget.

The plot: Batman (Bale) sets out to protect Gotham City from the Joker (Ledger).

Our quick thoughts: Are there still folks who feel that super-hero flicks form a minor genre, you know, for kids? If so, just as the works of Frank Miller and Alan Moore convinced a lot of people that comic books could be a legitimate art form, Christopher Nolan's sequel to his already excellent "Batman Begins" should convince them once and for all that you can make a smart, mature film involving costumed heroes and villains.
