Well I was surprised to see this movie break above Godfather in the IMDB list. A movie being #1 in IMDB list, above Shawshank and Godfather. But I think, yes this movie should be top ten. Its not an evergreen classic..its not Life is Beautiful, not even No Country for Old...but yes its a film that appeals to everybody yet has all the nuances of a good movie.
Heath Ledger deserves an oscar for his role... This is one of the best psycho roles I have seen in the films of the recent past...Its sad that he is no more, he should get a posthumous Oscar for his role.....But Christian Bale disappointed me again...He in my view drowned Nolan's last film( The Prestige) to some extent and there was big mismatch between Joker and Batman in terms of acting...(dont get me wrong..Bale is a good actor but I think he could have been better...)
The film is brilliant in many respects-special effects, awing action sequences, symbolisms and yes acting..the ediitng is crisp.there are no redundant scenes..though at times the scenes are too brief....and the message that it transmits is also strong..However the story had no major twists and I think the movie was infact let down by a rather simple story....it was almost totally predictable. But then I must not be too cynical its a Batman movie after all and it cant probably go better than this..
The symolization on the eternal conflict between Order and Anarchy especially through Joker's dialogues are mindblowing as is Batman's conflict....everybody does their part rather well in this movie and its difficult to find flaws in this movie though I found a few [:)]
Overall 8/10
Acting 9/10
