Heath Ledger delivers a larger than life performance



Brilliant is the word.If you thought Jack Nicholson' portrayal of the joker was scintillating.. i'd say think over.. because here comes Heath Ledger in his last role before his mysterious and untimely death.Ledger has given us something we will remember for a long long time.Redefining the villain role Ledger has this attitude all through his performance that it completely leaves you gasping for words..I don't think it is wrong at all to say that the movie rides completely on his performance.

The Dark Knight is a technically very sound movie with some great camera angles and good cinematography.Its all about the Joker who gives Gotham City anther menacing time.How batman saves Gotham from another disaster forms the rest of the story.But for once its not about the story (though i must say that the second half was really wasted and dragged after a gripping first half).. its all about performance.

Heath Ledger delivers an absolutely divine performance.Christian Bale & AaronEckhart dont disappoint either but are hardly noticeable as Ledger shadows them completely.His licking actions and all those suttle elements that he gives the character are unmatched.He leaves you asking for more and wishing that he stayed just to give us more roles like this to remember.
Watch The Dark Knight even if you are not a super-hero movie fan just to experience something that is heart stopping.And i must say that all the bike and car crazy people watch the movie for the batmobile and for Bruce Wayne' Lamborghini... its a delight to the eyes..

Rating:4/5(The extra 1 for Mr.Heath Ledger)
