The Dark Knight Reviewed by an Autist

The Dark Knight is and always has been my favorite Batman movie ever made. I can't tell you how many times I've been watching it throughout my life without getting tired of doing so. This may not be autism-themed in any way, but I still want to give my movie critic expertise a shot and do my honest review for it anyway, and here's what I love about this timeless classic.

I wanted to point out the narrative and direction this movie gives off. Here, there's an epic battle between good and evil that has its equal share of victories and defeats that leave a resolution to be desired in a good way. It shows evil represented by the Joker (Heath Ledger) being two steps ahead of his enemies when he strikes and having the power to upset the established order into chaos. So much so, Batman seemed to have considered Joker his toughest test yet.

What makes this movie worth a watch are the fast-paced action scenes that are full of hand-to-hand combat, explosions, and car chases that can make action enthusiasts engaged in seeing the movie to the end. These action scenes are influenced by Batman's hunt for the Joker throughout, which has devastating consequences. Some flawless acting performances I want to give a hand to are Christian Bale as Batman, Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon, and Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face. Let's not ignore the Oscar-winning performance of Heath Ledger as Joker, which made me very proud of him for acting so diabolically as Joker.

If I had to give one minor complaint about this movie, it would be the pacing between the action scenes being faster-paced than the other few scenes that make the movie feel like it drags on for too long. It's no big deal since I still find this movie perfect the way it is. I could honestly say every exceptional aspect of the movie, more than just the action scenes, is a saving grace to this exciting movie.

Overall, The Dark Knight is a timeless classic worth preserving for generations to come. The director, Christopher Nolan, should consider this movie and the following awards his proudest achievement in movie history. I would rate this movie a 9.5 out of 10.
