One of the Best Movies...Ever.

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

Wow. I'm still speechless.
*Minor Spoilers* I don't think I've seen a movie as good as this since Godfather 2. It was amazing. It surpassed my expectations and than some. The direction is flawless and amazing. I really can't put it into words how great it is, you have to go see it for yourself, the cinematography was probably the best I've seen. I know I'm sounding like a fanboy right now but its the truth.
Heath Ledger is beyond words. He is the best villain I have ever witnessed on screen, yes better than Darth Vader. His self regard for human life makes him the perfect nemesis for Batman. I've lost count at how many people he killed in this film. He got into Batman/Bruce's mind and messed with him emotionally. He was psychotic and was funny even when he wasn't supposed to. Its a shame that he won't be able to watch his performance on the screen, R.I.P. Right now if he isn't voted for Best Supporting Actor it would be a real shame. You'll will understand once you see this movie. He made him so realistic and scary. I wouldn't bring a kid under 6 to this movie.
Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart and Gary Oldman were all terrific as well but were just out shined by Heath Ledger. Christian does a much better job this time around as Bruce Wayne and Batman. I had my doubts of Aaron at first but he delivered and Oldman is the perfect Jim Gordon.
The action sequences took a huge leap from the first film and there are tons of them. The music from BB returns and is still as solid as ever. Nolan has really created a masterpiece here and with his little use of CGI makes it even more impressive.
I'm still in awe while typing this and its still not as long as I wanted it to be. I'm going to try to go back tomorrow or Saturday and watch it again. If you don't even like Batman or comics you will like this movie and it better be the first "Superhero" movie to be nominated for Best Picture, along with Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor and Best Director. This movie will be in talks when you mention best movies like Godfather, Godfather 2, ESB, The Shawshank Redemption, Schlinders List etc etc. I recommend it to anyone.
