Guest Blogger: Robin Movie 2

The Dark Knight is an action pact superhero movie. It is based on the DC Comics character Batman. The movie takes place in Gotham City were thugs and mobsters run the city and Batman tries to stop them along with the help of district attorney Harvey Dent. A new mobster, the Joker comes to town and plans to kill the batman. The movie shows the struggles Batman goes through, wondering if this is the end of Batman all together and his fight against the Joker.
The part of Batman is played by Christian Bale. He plays a very convincing and strong role. He’s everything you need in a batman, his ability to make you think Batman is real is great and his ability to make you like him is great also. The other main character is the Joker played by the late Heath Ledger. Heath put of a performance that no one could ever duplicate. He played the part of the Joker to a T. He was extremely convincing. The won the Academy Award for best supporting actor which was a huge honor despite passing away in 2008.
Batman’s motive was simple, stop the bad guys and get his girl back from Harvey. He never really changed his motive despite questioning whether or not Batman should continue to fight crime. The Joker’s motive was simple also, kill batman. The Joker didn’t care about much else not even money. There was a scene where he burns his half of the money and didn’t care what so ever, he knew that by killing the Batman he could run the town and make all the money he wanted after.
I think the theme of the movie is good verse evil. Dark cannot exist without light. The audience can take away that you always need someone to believe in, someone to look up to. Batman was Gotham City’s superhero, the guy they counted on and believed in. It showed that everyone needs that person and could be that person for someone else.
The film was rated high among many critics. Rotten Tomatoes had an overall approval rating from critics of 94% which is obviously high. Critics everywhere raved about The Dark Knight saying it was the number one movie of the decade.
In my opinion this movie is worth buying twice. I agree completely with the critics, it’s the best movie of this decade. There won’t be another superhero movie like this for a very long time.
