A level above the rest

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2011)

Having waited 3 years for the hype to die down, I watched The Dark Knight recently. I must say, the film was a joy to watch.
Heath Ledger of course undertakes a stunning portrayal of the Joker in quite the darkest version of the character I have ever seen.
The film has much more to offer though than just the joker. I thought Gary Oldman's performance as the police chief was impressive and although i'm not a huge fan of Christian Bale, I thought he did very well in the over-played and over-hyped role of Batman/Bruce Wayne .
The film is a fast paced, modern adaptation of an old tale and it's by far the best Batman I've seen.
