The Dark Knight
Chris Nolan can do no wrong. He’s already demonstrated his filmmaking genius with films like Memento and The Prestige and his take on the Batman series is a breath of fresh air to the superhero / action movie / comic book adaption genre. With ‘The Dark Knight’ he has even surpassed the brilliance of Batman Begins.

The plot flows along at a fast pace with one great scene after another. The performances are all excellent, particularly Heath Ledger who perfectly encapsulated The Joker. The film has a good score and its running time of two and a half hours just flies by and you’re left wanting more. Easily the best film of the year so far and I’m looking forward to watching it again. 8 crumbs out of 10.
