The Dark Knight

I know that the Dark Knight is old news now but I thought it was one of the best movies of 2008. Comic book movies have never been my favorite but that hasn't stopped me from going to see a few of those flicks which was usually somebody else's idea to go. You can imagine my surprise when I was actually intrigued and enthused during the movie! All of the actors did a wonderful job and the cinematography was great too. Of course, Heath Ledger's untimely demise added to the drama but even if he had lived, the movie's popularity and charisma would have stood on it's own. Ledger was nominated for an Academy Award as was Framestore CFC for visual effects. I really wish more people and departments would have been nominated for an Academy Award, but oh well. I also don't agree with those people who say that Ledger would have never gotten nominated if he hadn't died. He did an awesome job of portraying the Joker, in fact, he deserves not only the nomination but he deserves to win.
