the joker wins

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2008)

Just got home from watching the Dark Knight and wow, and i mean wow. The acting was great, the plot, the build up, the climax and everything was excellent and it has surely surpassed its hype! Christian Bale delivered another strong performance as the Batman and his Bruce Wayne character is even stronger now than the first film. Aaron Eckheart did also a very good Harvey Dent/Two Face; and by the way, the effects for the disfigured face of Two Face is awesome (looks like the one in the long halloween). And hell, Heath Ledger even surpassed Jack Nicholson's Joker.
And at the end of the day, after all that happened, Batman didn't get what he wanted, Harvey Dent surely didn't get what he deserved and Gotham City as a whole surely lost. It was actually only the Joker who won. It would have been better if they showed one after credits shot of the Joker laughing his ass off inside Arkham Asylum; but that would be wishful thinking.:)
