The reason for my review is in hopes of saving you some money. This double disc Special Edition doesn’t sing the tag you pay for it. There isn’t even deleted scenes!!! I would keep your very hard earned dollars and purchase the single disc version and wait for the inevitable ULTIMATE re-release that will arrive later on down the road.
But nonetheless, a big film – you will not be dissapointed; I honest wish the studio would have given a better Special Edition release than what we have here. So luxuriate in!
Christopher Nolan has a vision. And whether you agree with it or not, he undeniably completes it in “The Murky Knight”–a vicious, enchanting, overwhelming, quick-witted event- film that re-defines ‘comic-book-flicks’. In Nolan’s grim, dark-depiction of Gotham-City (the crime-ridden hell protected by legendary superhero Batman), the director strives to effect everything valid (something he began in the well-received “Batman Begins”) . He makes it plausible, possible. And yet there’s more to it: honest as ‘Begins’ was a dissection of memoir, the nature of symbols and heroes, ‘Knight’ is the escalation of that thought. It’s a biblical- confrontation of ‘good-and-evil’, yet as ‘good-and-evil’ really exist: a conflict of ideals, something that can’t be purely-defined but that is relative to a viewpoint. In Nolan’s world, the line of villainy and heroism isn’t crossed… it’s non-existent. The bad-guys don’t observe themselves as bad-guys, and as such something so unnervingly-real comes across it might hover past some people’s minds (no insult to anybody, it’s unprejudiced celebrated that people don’t inspect deep into ‘popcorn-flicks’) : the battle is a complete ambiguity.

The film runs at nearly 2.5-hours, yet never ceases to lose interest or momentum. It doesn’t raze a scene or moment; every event is utilized and primary. ‘The Shadowy Knight’ tells a sage worth telling and it takes the reliable amount of time to assert it. Action-sequences are frantic, old-school, eye-grabbing stunts (vastly kindly to ‘Begins’) and in their chaotic intensity we sight that they wait on purpose to the record, yet more tantalizing are not played for pure entertainment-value: we are meant to leer, fearful, simply hoping that the outcome will go the hero’s plan. Attention is never lost because we are immersed in a breathtaking, almost completely-unpredictable legend (it packs many a shock), that makes us reflect and more importantly gains our emotional-investment. We advance to care for the characters, because they are believable, developed, and personified fully.
Everyone has great-chemistry together. Maggie Gyllenhal is a more extinct Rachel Dawes than Katie Holmes. Morgan Freeman provides his authoritative presence to the role of bad- gadget-inventor/Wayne-Enterprise CEO Lucius Fox, and under anyone else’s portrayal, the fraction would be less-memorable. Gary Oldman underplays his world-wearied lawman with such honest-nobility, you never feel for a second any of its forced-acting. The irreplaceable Michael Caine makes a gentle, reassuring, father-like presence as Alfred, and the movie would surely fail without his strong-presence and interjected-moments of light-humor.
And while everyone (rightfully) pours the praise unto Bale and Ledger, I reflect most are glancing-over Knight’s breakout-performance. As Harvey Dent, Aaron Eckhart does more than bear himself in the company of such a renowned-cast. He makes his presence known, whether he’s playing on the easy-going charisma of Gotham’s ‘White-Knight’ or the broken and damaged, twisted-soul of Two-Face. He achieves a full-impact with the tragedy that comes unto his character, and so closely connects with Dent, that he makes his afflict tangible for us: we sympathize even as we become scared. He captures both facets of each personality flawlessly.
Now, some people cite that ‘Knight’ has a potential fatal-flaw in the supposedly wooden- acting of Christian Bale. Admittedly, his development is not as spacious as in ‘Begins’ (yet that film gave us such a obliging psychoanalysis of Wayne, we hardly need more), yet what Bale pulls off is admirable. Wayne is not an eccentric personality. He is a disillusioned man who can hardly get any joy in having no family, giving up his love-interest and spending his life fighting a battle that may never raze. He’s sunless and conflicted, and Bale plays up on that brooding-mood by making Wayne survey as though a thousand dark-things were on his mind. He’s not wooden…he’s a humorless, level-headed individual. Even when Wayne is acting as a frivolous playboy for the public, every now and then Bale offers us a considerable peer that reminds us its all a façade; that deep down, something more insecure irks him. Occasionally he offers a broken-smile when exchanging banter with Alfred, letting us know that beyond the dour depression of the Caped-Crusader lies a damaged human-being. It is only in the guise of a growling masked-man, that he can unleash his proper, ferocious personality.
Finally, who could forget Heath Ledger. Now, when he was first-announced for the portion, I was (along with many other people) asking myself: “Why? “. Mr. Ledger had proved with ‘Brokeback Mountain’ he could instruct a potent performance. But he hadn’t before. It is only, after seeing this film, that I know the retort to ‘why? ‘: I stare the significance of his loss.
When Heath appears in this movie, he is completely unrecognizable. His vow is distinctly-altered; a near-whiny, pedophile-like tone that sends shivers down the spine. His face is completely splattered with makeup that renders him both freakishly-nightmarish and strangely-funny. And when you peep him, you don’t contemplate it’s him. In this, his final performance, Ledger proved he was a chameleon. His two iconic performances in this, and ‘Brokeback’, could not be more different. I am convinced he could have been anything in his career. He commits so intensely to character that the line of actor/portrayal dies. His every tick and gesture only further-enhances his character. Heath never hams the role up or goes for something cheap: he delivers a fully-immersed show of psychotic madness…or do we fair heed him that to feel safer? The movie writes the character brilliantly; blending plain truth into his every social-accusation, and making us ask why we laugh at his sick-jokes.
‘The Unlit Knight’ has had an incredible-amount of hype running for it, from the get-go, mounting ever-higher, until Heath Ledger’s too-soon death. And the finished-product does more than exceed all of the near-impossible expectations placed on it. It becomes something mighty richer than a super-hero-franchise-saga. Christopher Nolan has opened a fresh door in cinema: allowing action-flicks to become more serious, beneficial of intelligence. He has transformed this into a fragment of artwork, fleshy of beauty, anxiety, moral-conundrums. This movie has changed things…forever.
There’s no going aid. 10/10
