Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
Brilliant
Visually stunning with incredible writing. I thought that the first film left a strong emotional presence that would be hard to follow but I was wrong. The action was superb with storytelling that continues to shine with so many possibilities. I can't wait for the third movie. This franchise proves that when you care about a project and back it that a great movie can be produced. This is definitely the best movie I have seen this year. The movies 2 hour and 20-minute runtime felt on pace and left me wanting more. The films huge number of characters were nostalgic but weren't overwhelming. A lot of films could learn from this. Brilliant movie.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Not just a superhero movie
The Dark Knight gave us a dark, thrilling, and philosophically narrative that we have yet to see until now. Christian Bale delivers an intense, nuanced performance as Batman, but it's Heath Ledger's Joker that steals the show. Ledger's Joker is hauntingly brilliant and terrifying, a character who embodies chaos and unpredictability. His posthumous Academy Award was more than deserved for this career-defining role.
The cinematography and score work amplified the film's tense atmosphere. Every action set piece is meticulously choreographed and executed, ensuring an edge-of-your-seat experience throughout. The Dark Knight is more than just a superhero film - it's an exploration of the human condition, a dramatic spectacle, and a memorable cinematic experience. It's a complex and riveting masterpiece that leaves an indelible mark, making it a must-watch and a shining example of what the superhero genre can achieve.
