5/5
"With
The Dark Knight
Nolan has crafted what may be the greatest superhero film to date."
Mike Bracken's Horror Films
Mike Bracken
4/4
"Not just a comic book movie but a virtual dissertation on the nature of good and evil, as well as the thin line that sometimes separates them."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
B+
"It has chases and crashes and fight scenes, including a somersaulting truck, but when it is over it is the wrenching choices, the internal confrontations, that reverberate."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
3.5/4
"
The Dark Knight
resounds with a throbbing topical undercurrent, its superficially good-versus-evil setup slowly revealed to be a complex examination of the ways in which democracies can, and must, combat zealotry."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
5/5
"Ver a figura claudicante, vulnerável e trágica de Batman mergulhar nas sombras de uma cidade desesperada por figuras heróicas é, desde já, umas das imagens mais fortes e tristes que o gênero já produziu."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
4.5/5
"Ledger makes the Joker his, imbuing the character with such menace and genuine insanity I finally got a sense of what talent he really had."
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
5/5
"A great work of contemporary cinema and easily the most artistically significant film ever made to ever inspire its own fast-food pizza tie-in."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
4/5
"Nolan gives in a bit to bloated-sequel syndrome ... but this is still one of the most riveting, trilling and wrenching movies of the year."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
5/5
"It's not a superhero movie, or a crime drama either. It's a horror movie -- an epic one, and a great one. Madness and mutilation are on the menu..."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
3/4
"The film itself evokes the collision of an unstoppable force with an immovable object."
Suite101.com
Rob Humanick
A
"Nolan is clearly on the title character's wavelength and understands how a crisis of such magnitude might affect good men trying to do the right thing."
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
B
"Good, but overrated."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
A-
"The hardware is played down this time and the result is character intensive movie that just so happens to have some of the best special effects of the season."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
5/5
"Supremely satisfying for about a dozen different reasons. A great film."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
"A pulp epic with mythic overtones for the darkest of comic book heroes."
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
A
"It's the new gold standard for superhero noir."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
4/5
"flat-out exhilarating, a roller-coaster plunge into the heart of darkness... and a tad exhausting"
Filmcritic.com
Sean O'Connell
"Despite its superhero trappings,
The Dark Knight
is more a piece of film noir."
Cinefantastique
Steve Biodrowski
A+
"Delves so deeply into the darkness that lurks in the hearts of men that it comes almost as a shock, bordering on euphoria, to find that it maintains a tenacious grip onto hope in the human potential for good."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
10/10
"It's an action-filled crime drama revolving around a dangerous, demented anarchist. Once again, the Joker's wild!"
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
10/10
"A very exhausting film...something far more than just an entertainment."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
4/4
"Whatever the causes, the effects of The Dark Knight are subtle and powerful. It's rejuvenating, it renews the faith."
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
3.5/4
"The darkest and most clever of all of the superhero movies ever made."
Oscar Guy
Wesley Lovell
3.5/4
"Nolan hasn't just created another comic book film, but a well crafted solid engrossing thriller"
