The Dark Knight movie review

The Dark Knight starring Heath Ledger and Christopher BaleThis movie is awsome, but gives you the chills sometimes. Especially if you watch it on IMAX because the sound of gun shots and the Joker. Heath Leadger played the Joker very Well. The Joker sometimes can be scary like in the begining when he shot a lot of his men and the bankers. He then tried to make a deal with the mob , but the gang leader says," Whoever can get the Joker dead gets 5 grand." The Joker fakes his death and come back to the gang leader and stick a knife in his mouth. He said, " Do you know why I have so many scars? It's because my father was a drinker and one day he would come back home drunk and my mother would protect herself with a knife. Then my father takes the knife to me, the Joker, and sticks it up to my mouth and says why are you so nervous? Smile and points the knife up in his mouth and then said, "you will always smile now." These are some of the things that make this movie creepy and scary. There is another part where the Joker says to the mob,"I will make this pencil disappear. He lets a mob leader come up and slams his head on the table. It disappeared because he can't see it any more." Some parts are also too bloody like when Harvey Dent was rescued , but half his face is on fire. Half his face got the skin burned off and you could see his bones and jaws and muscele. That was one of many that says this movie should be rated R. The Joker kills many People just to see the Batman's real identity. In a Press Conference, Harvey Dent, the Attorney says well I am the Batman. Bruce Wayne just stands there while a fake Batman gets arrested. These were one of the things that made Bruce's friend Rachael angry. There is romance, action, and crude comedy. The next thing is how the director, Chris Nolan, made the Batman's gadgets look so high tech even though only the military now a days can get that technology. I realized it really cool when he could the track the Joker with Mr. Fox's sonor idea. It was confuing in the end when the Batman said to Commissioner Gordon, "A person dies a hero or lives long enough to see himself a villian. I am a Villian. Get the police, dogs and SWAT team after me." It was confusing because he didn't do anything wrong. He rescued Commissoner Goron's son from the evil Harvey Dent. Harvey was about to kill Commissoner Gordon's son , but the batman knocked Harvey down the building and rescued Gordon's son. Even the commissioner's son said, " But he didn't do anything wrong." Chris Nolan should make the ending better and clearer. The other creepy part was how the Police unhandcuffed the Joker and let the Batman deal with him. The Batman went crazy and slammed the Joker's face into the wall, threw him through the room. That was crazy, but necessary. That was one of the parts where it had a bloody part. The other creepy part was when the Batman flips over the truck the Joker was in, but the Joker survived. The Batman fell and tripped on a string the Joker set up. I thought, " The Joker is like a cat, it has nine lives."
