The Dark Knight movie review 

Not really, but whatever.

What matches it

Edyn Arthur-Worsop Captain America: the winter soldier and X-Men DOFP. For me, even the Avengers.

Uche Ewelike So, cool action scenes and funny one liners match a sophisticated crime drama about morality, justice, and the idea of what it means to be a hero?you're probably one of those people who thinks GG is one of the best superhero films. and as for X-Men and Cap, they come close, but still not as good as this movie. Don't take my word for it though, go to rotten tomatoes and see for yourself.

Connor Kenway no, a real comic book movie about power and control, matches a movie carried by the presence of an outstanding villain and nothing more. You're probably one of those people that are stuck on a monotone of dark and gritty in superhero movies. GG (Guardians of the galaxy, I'm guessing) is one of the best superhero movies not the best, it definitely doesn't surpass the likes of Cap 2, TDK, Avengers, X-Men DOFP, and Ironman. X-men and Cap 2 are better than this movie. I'm not insinuating that the movie is bad, no, it's great. Now I would take Rotten Tomatoes word for it, but it rated movies like Ironman 3 and TDKR fresh when they clearly aren't.

In the superhero genre?You damn right.

It's one of the best in any genre.

Damn right

Yeah it's one of the few where you take out the batman element you have a GREAT crime drama

+Ethan Joe sometimes if you want something great you need to make big changes.

You were lucky

Christopher Nolan is too talented to waste it on a stupid universe.

Lol how awsome 😂

christian schmidt And I thought my jokes were bad..

@@Joke8372 😂😂😂

Inexorable Videos 😂😂😂

@@InexorableVideos hell yea

Inexorable Videos: Endgame, Infinity War, Kick Ass, Civil War 😂😂😂😂... Acting wise, Story Wise, Cinematography wise, Score wise, The Dark Knight is better than those... Thanos is a good villain though.

Endgame isn't even better than winter soldier infinity war or Logan actually no movie will ever top dark Knight now but Logan n winter soldier are close but still far from master piece that dark Knight is

@@JohnSmith-sy6zm does not mean it's better, black Panther's cgi fights felt weightless

Now we have Jared Leto yay 😐

he was legit one of the worst jokers, he's overrated af man

@@turntvintage8514 no shit that's what rip is for

@@julianallenspach9707 how was he overrated

seriously? He is looked at by the public as "oNe oF thE gReaTesT jOkErs oF aLl tIMe" thats bs, he can barely act and was way overpaid = overrated! Boom.

Too bad DC had nothing to do with it

What do u mean? They made the friggin movie

Avi Kid it was a Christopher Nolan movie produced by DC there were no writers, screen players or directors from DC.... Saying that DC made the dark knight is like saying marvel made the x men movies

Oh i c wat u mean but they still produced it

Avi Kid I just researched it... It wasn't even produced by DC just based of DC comics

thats amazing isnt it ... Even with great movies like Winter Soldier, Iron Man 1, Man of Steel , Spider 2 and Avengers ... its still the best

That title belongs to bvs

+Lord vader lmao

+Lord vader your funny

Yup and will always be the best.

lol

You mean neck Jeremy

Lol

He also ends with awesometacular hahaha

+TheForceOfMusic101 that line always bothered me too, but this makes sense. 8 years of thinking where the hell is gordon getting his facts from have been resolved :D

+TheForceOfMusic101 Brilliant!

I always thought that Harvey himself counted as 1 of the 5 dead

Roddy Rod When reviewing the dialogue for that scene, they are talking about Harvey and those he killed.

+Roddy Rod The conversation Batman and Jim Gordon are having is about the chaos that will ensue as a result of 5 people getting murdered by the District Attorney, Harvey Dent. If Harvey Dent died without killing anyone, the city would lose a decent man of the law, but all the criminals that were locked up by Dent would stay locked up. However, hearing about the death of 5 people by Dent's hands would have all the criminals they threw in prison released, and throw Gotham back into Chaos just as the Joker had planned. The line "Whatever chance you gave us of fixing our city dies with Harvey's reputation" is referencing this. "5 dead, 2 of them cops" is Jim Gordon asking Batman how can keep Harvey's murders a secret when there are 5 people dead, 2 of which are cops. Therefore, Harvey is not one of the 5 people.

Joe Kaput really really really overated

Name a better superhero movie. Please. Inform me. I beg you. I'm serious. Please. Do this for me. Give me knowledge. Or give me something so I may have a chance to disprove your argument.

lolllll you have to judge a film for what it is not how it affects culture the dark knight is a joker character piece with other things going on that's it Harvey dents line bout the hero thing is kool the way batman nabs the joker is shit the way batman kills Harvey is shit and the ending is so pretentious the whole not the hero gotham needs it feels so force fed because everything that happened in the last 5 mins prior to that was ridiculos the problem with nolans trilogy is they don't flesh out batman as a character its just Christian bale walking round saying stuff begins put logic to his rise to batman but nothing towards his character and the dark knight is the perfect batman film not about batman and the dark knight rises tries to mask this by everyone going on about how batman is amazing because Nolan is too lazy to flesh out any character for bruce and if your a serious comic book fan or a person that jumps on trend wagons or a Nolan fan or a massive joker or heath ledger fan you wil suck the dark knights dick till you die but as a film its ok that's it if I wana see a joker character piece I want it to be called joker or something not the dark knigiht we have yet to see a great batman film about bruce wayne nolans trilogy gets praise for the little things like getting rid of title sequences making everything logical but overall ther good movies but not amazing im not gona lie personally my favourite comic book movies are dredd and spiderman 1 and maybe man of steel because it really made super man into a character rather than OP god man I love dredd because of how wild it was visually and the tone it was like blade runner meets the raid and spider man 1 because its the only comic book film that's dedicated to the character completely and spidermans character is very inspiring hes a geek who tries to be more instead of some hipsterwho thinks hes sick (amazing spiderman cough) the first 2 blade movies where kool and i have a little soft spot for ang lees the hulk because eric bana is a great choice but underused and i like the dark undertones and the title score dark knight was ok im intrested to see why you like it so much because it really comes down to why you appreciate it that defines it but overall its a crime thriller that has some undertones in it like every other superhero film has undertones not a master piece

First thing: that escalated quickly. Second: I was following you until you said you liked man of steel. You lost me there. Zack Snyder sucked the life out of superman with that movie. There was very little good about that movie. I'll get into deeper details when you respond back Later.

Also, I'm not so much a comic book fan, but instead a beginning film nut. I like the dark knight because it kept me interested the entire way through it. It hooked me and didn't let go. It is what I think is the model of what a great classic should be. It's not a perfect film (if such a thing existed, the world would not exist), but it's a damn good piece of cinema.

Plz more like one of the best movies ever made

***** Yeah I know I watched those ones

best super hero movie? no. best batman movie? no. best sequel ever? hell no.

"best super hero movie? no." And what is the best "super hero" movie, then? "best batman movie? no." And what is the best Batman movie, then? "best sequel ever? hell no." Considering the amount of recognition it got, it's definitely among the best sequels ever made. And I'm talking about legit classics, like Empire Strikes Back, T2, and Two Towers.

@@Roughman123 you’re just a hater

Preach it!\

Heath Ledger =One of the Best actors ever

Paul SZ Dont go too far

Zain Peterson IMO He is

Paul SZ You should look at more actors.

I agree with you on The Dark Knight. But I'd say The Dark Rises 9/10 and Begins 8/10!

Jordan Caws Good to see I'm not the only one that likes TDKR. I don't get all the hate people put on it.

NOICKNOICK yeah I loved it. But I do get the reason why people hate it. I think it's due to the reason that there's a few things like Batman doesn't show up a lot, in the fight scenes the cops and the criminals don't fire their weapons instead hit them at each other, all the fucking cops in the city go down underground. Stuff like that bothers people I guess. Pretty dumb really lol.

Jordan Caws Yeah I guess so, but does it deserve to be shunned the way it has? A lot of people refuse to count it as one of the films

NOICKNOICK actually Batman Begins is the one that people refuse to count as one of the films. Well more like it's the forgotten one out of the three. Least popular. 8.3 on IMDB (800k votes) where as The Dark Knight Rises has a 8.5 (900k votes). This is from the people of the Internet not the critics. Also the critics loved the film! I don't know where your getting that idea from.

JAVERT PH LOL

Lmao

You mean druggy jeremy?

Got recommended this video in 2020

+Mark Hazleton Yeah, I thought Jack Nicholson as the Joker was pretty amusing (I do like his goofy appearance), but he has nothing on Heath Ledger. My problem with his Joker is that he really was just Jack Nicholson in a Joker suit, you could easily tell it was him. I wish he had brought something interesting or unique to the character instead of just basically acting like himself. No offense to Jack, I loved him in movies like The Departed, but he didn't do that good of a job in Batman.

Tbh, I didn't find Jack Nicholson's joker scary at all. I actually found his portrayal quite funny. Even during serious scenes, I just laughed. Heath Ledger's Joker is just haunting. He's a blood thirsty, psychopathic killer but one who also has depth to his character.

W-James Jack Nicholson's Joker is scary because it's played by Jack Nicholson.

Mark Hazleton not really joker was already the most inconic villan

SidDoesStuff the joker is supposed to be a psycho

How did it do that?

A bit over dramatic

+javi sanchez nope

+javi sanchez agree. It's a great film but it's not that important. He has to be a kid.

Wtf? Its a goddamn fictional story, you need some sort of therapy no joke.

LOOOL

Your mom's unlucky

At least you got to see it in theatres. I wanted to see it on my birthday, but my family had a tradition of going up north for my birthday and refused to stay home so I can go see it

I watched it on my birthday too. And fun fact, this was the first movie ever that i watched in theaters. What best experience for the first time in cinema.

I’m dark night RICK

Hey can you check out my channel please I did a review on this movie and I think you will like it

Not the #1 best, I feel that would be Forrest Gump or the godfather, but definitely in the top 10. Best superhero movie though by far

In my opinion, Rocky is my favorite movie.

If you have seen 20 movies

Great movie but not the best

👍

I thought Spider-man 2 was fun

@Nic Rock Wtf, the Winter Soldier shits on Spiderman 2, I still dont get how people put Spidey 2 so high in their lists.

And Iron man 2

And Logan

agree m8 one of my favourite movie of all time.

duh of course it is

tdk is good. but not the best imo. the batfleck solo trilogy and spider-man homecoming is

Jacob Molyneux Well those movies haven't been made yet so they can't be declared the best just yet. There is definitely going to have to be a character and performance in those upcoming movies as fantastic as Ledger's Joker in order for Dark Knight to potentially be dethroned as the best superhero movie ever.

gorrow1990 I don't think tdk is the best superhero movie ever. Its okay. But not the best

You can say that again pal

^

No

Yes

"Yeah"- Heath Ledger

Agree completely. The dark knight is the greatest movie of all time for me, then batman begins, then The dark knight rises

that's exactly me ! finally someone who thinks like me LOVE THE DARK KNIGHT ALL THE WAYYYY.

S.W.A.G Gent I know, the dark knight trilogy were hugely successful and frankly the best batman movies ever, yet there are always ignorant people that say the old ones were better even though they lacked acting quality, good humour, good story, good suits, good batmobiles, good gadgets and directors and producers who actually knew how to make a good batman movie. Always find it difficult to rank the dark knight films though because they are all so good, so not even sure which is the best for me haha

crewkid52 Totally agree, Heath performance was just incredibly unpredictable, The best ever by any actor at any role...It literally shocked and freezes me the first time saw him acting like that

Debatable... very debatable. There have been some amazing performances in the history of film... Having said that... I agree with you 100%. But I'd certainly stress as you have done, that just my opinion... I can definitely understand arguments that would contradict it.

"I'd prefer it to be multiple choice"

Plus it proved Joker's theory of going mad after one bad day

Nolan actually stated during the production of TDKR that the joker would have featured in the trial scene of the movie to face his crimes.

Corey Hughes Thanks for the info. That would of been pretty cool I wonder if they would of also of had another scene post bane's crew/the criminals taking over kind like what they did with scarecrow.

They made a script with him helping Batman defeat the riddler. So yes

bmaster461603 Can you post a link to them talking about since I haven't ever heard of that idea. I guess crazy things have been planned for batman movies like Marlon Wayans playing Robin in the 3rd Tim Burton Batman movie.

neondeion12 Dude I'll search for it but I heard it in a article one time...I believe. I know he didn't even want to make this movie but then audiences saw the joker card. He made the third one because of the success of this one and was making concept things before this one came out. Let we look for the article.

Pantera nice!

He didn't kill Ramirez.

o yea

Angus Slade And Maroni's passenger. The guy that Two-Face replaced in the car. He can see him struggle for an instant before they cut to an inside-the-car camera.

I guess we did find the five dead, but only 1 cop

Maybe one other cop was killed off screen. Seriously, you are Harvey Dent the White Knight and you walk with a face like that, you think the cop wouldn't take you in??

Tanishq Chandra Spider-Man 2 will always be the best

@@racksskapeman7326 hell no not better than dark knight

Bobby Rashford hahahaha the nostalgia is real

KingShush your profile pic tells me you’re a child

Dark Knight and Logan are the best comic book movies.

He would have definetly been in Inception too, and i dont know where Tom Hardy would be now.

***** Why not? Remember Alfred told Bruce that there's just some people that just want to watch the world burn. The Joker was one of those people that was trying to make Gotham city burn into chaos and destruction. Bane actually succeeded into what the Joker couldn't do. We would without a doubt been in The Dark Knight Rises. In this movie, the Joker's dream actually came true. 

***** Scarecrow was actually in all three movies. Main villain in Batman Begins, cameo at the beginning of The Dark Knight, and he is the judge in the Bane controlled Gotham in The Dark Knight Rises.

you are truly blind

+mirko zaja me neither

I noticed she looked slightly different but didn't know till like the third time I watched it when I looked at the credits. Nolan really did a great job of picking another Rachel actor, not letting Holmes' not wanting to play Rachel again ruin the movie

Im blind too..

Thanks! For a second I thought I was spoiled.

FreedomEagles100 Well you have to be the only one who hasn't watched the movie :D

Go on google search, write "sarcasm". Thank you.

They should make a 4th one. The Dark Knight returns, have a legendary actor, play the Joker, Bale as Batman (again) and have Batman for the 2nd time, break his rule. Or no.

***** RIP English

Fernando Garcia same 🙋🏾‍♀️😀

Makes 3 of us LOL

I'm also

Yep

Me too🤣🤣

Another year goes by and the movie is still incredible

@Isaac Edwards I think you're old enough to see it.

I only commented because I am you're 200 like.

@@ggt47 thanks brother 👍

@@Ric_A Sorry.

The Dark Knight > Every comic book movie ever. Seems a bit arbitrary to single out MCU movies.

+James Fletcher winter soldier came pretty close imo

Paul C Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a VERY GOOD movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe it came close to Iron Man, but I still think Iron Man is better than Captain America: Civil War!

The winter soldier is second to me but still far from the level of the dark knight

Dark knight trilogies>MCU>>>>>>>>>>DCEU. Just being honest here

Exactly, they aren't catching on. They'd rather hire Snyder

Nolan is an executive producer in the DCCU. Look at the credits

Nolan have to help Ben in the next batman film.

Executive Producer's are pretty much the bitches of the Producers.

+Eddie Vazquez nolan is exec producer and the DCCU still manages to be a bunch of shit

M. Saimul Sikder no. just no.

One of the best for sure

Jayden Leonard I like the dark knight, but it's the most overrated movie of all time.

Roughman123 In your opinion though. A significant amount of people believe it is one of the best movies ever made.

@@Roughman123 where’s your proof? Your wrong

jared leto had a good performance i didn't like his mob stuff he felt sick but not joker sick

Jared was good but we would have a better opinion if they didn't take out over half of his scenes

There are multiple portrayals of the joker, Leto's version was one who just liked to murder. Not scheme like Ledger

Captain America the winter solider too was really good very underrated.

@@bookeblade no way near TDK

Mmm that title goes to The Incredibles.

Xmen and Spiderman were the ones that made people realize comic book movies can be taken seriously, but The Dark Knight took it to the next level.

Sreyas Sushil great list! Personally I'd swap out civil war for winter soldier but that's just me

Where’s EndGame?! lol

batman fanboy lol

@@ArmandoOriz_ Check the date mate. I made this list close to two years back.

Thank You 3000 yes facts infinity war is better then endgame

10/10 to Guardians of the Galaxy, 9.9/10 for this.

Zain Peterson Guardians of the Galaxy was fun, very fun, had a nice flow, but that is just that. The Dark Knight is something much bigger and deeper.

Don't watch Ben Hur or Citizen Kane, your meter will break. Thanks for ruining IMDB and rotten tomatoes ratings. Keep up the good work.

myfavoritescenes ever heard of something called an opinon? I said what I liked more, you said that I shouldnt, even though you dont realize thats my favorite DC film ever.

I am not talking about opinions. Sure, you can love whatever you want. I love Star Wars movies the most. I am talking about overall plot and meaning and message the movie is sending, The Dark Knight is something much deeper and bigger.

Godfather 2 was better than the first. Mad max fury road was trash... the rest were great

Respectable list 🧐

Lord of the rings

No Shawshank Redemption or Godfather Part II? But sure, Mad Max..

1. Godfather 2. Dark Knight 3. Shawshank redemption 4. Avatar 5. Pulp fiction

Gregory Davis Why? It's so overrated.

Roughman123 because it’s so realistic with the law and government and also the irony within the movie

Roughman123 How in the hell is it overrated?

Roughman123 get the hell outta here

Zaylo Tv Nah the dark knight isn’t realistic Batman begins is.

Niall murray not dent, Harvey killed Maronis guard as well, you can see Harvey pull him out of frame before Maroni gets in the car, and as for the other cop either ur right or my other thought is that they think Harvey killed the cop that the joker killed in the hospital, ik it blew up but as far as they know he went to get dent and never came out and dent did.

Not dent, dent killed Maroni Maroni’s driver Ramirez Wuertz Maroni’s gaurd

The two officers, one with the last name Harvey and the other Dent.

It’s hard to match the blend of amazing acting , plot twists, and cinematography that was is in this movie and it’s also hard to get a villain as good as the joker

@@Andrew11017 True, the Joker is the most intriguing villain of all time. But Christian Bale's Batman voice was kinda bad in my opinion.

FroggyTheNinja it’s definitely shaky in Batman Begins but I think he does a better job with it in TDK

@Thank You 3000 What does Thanos do next?

Thank You 3000 Joker is a better villain than Thanos. All thanos does is overpower the avengers, the joker out thinks everyone in Gotham and Batman and makes them powerless

@Jay Inconclusive Are you high on the most addictive drugs right now.

Yo but Spiderman 2.

@T-Rex they did with winter soldier

@@4kawaii not close to TDK

There all hipsters

My best guess is the atmosphere he gives off. He's funny, insane, but you feel like he's in control of every thing. That's why I like him, at least.

They had not seen Heath Ledger's joker yet and now its laced with nostalgia

Nostalgia is the answer

I think the reason Bats doesn't look so smart in this is he can't grasp the whole, Joker is just doing it for shits and giggles.

i thought it was just because it would be too unrealistic if he were that smart, sinc Nolan wanted to make the trilogy grounded

Harvey Dent's writing for this universe was absolute genius. The split personality just wouldn't have worked in this setting. To make it a three-way romance and then to have him manipulated by the joker and go after Gordon was just a genius, perfectly integrated narrative. It just links beautifully.

😂😂💁 we know he's that old now.

Nowadays the Oscars are more about politics rather than awarding great movies.

Before 2008, comic book movies were never taken seriously, both making them and awarding them. Iron Man and this movie changed that. It was also rumored from this movie, Best Picture nominees were extended from 5 up to 10 because the Academy members kept voting for this movie to be Best Picture. MCU and movies like Black Panther are always standing on shoulders of TDK. No debate.
