Much better than I expected. Really a great movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2008)

First of all I have to say that i watched the whole Batman movies and so far i really liked only the first 2 ("Batman" and "Batman returns"). Just now i finished watching the "Dark Knight", and i have to say that i am very impressed, I certainly expected much worse. One of the things that interested me the most, was to compare the Joker by Heath Ledger and the Joker by Jack Nicholson. These 2 "Jokers" are certainly different, but in my opinion both characters are created brilliantly by these two actors. Without righting any spoilers I'll just add that the plot isn't empty, simple or stupid like in many recent "superhero movies". Also, the movie isn't childish (in fact i don't think it's a good movie for children under 12-13 years of age). The Special effects are just great. Some people say that the movie is too long, but since i enjoyed it very much i don't agree with that. I really, really recommend it, 10/10.
