The Ultimate Batman

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2008)

This is the ultimate batman movie ever. everything i ever wanted from a batman film i got it from this. there are not enough words to describe how truly FANTASTIC this movie is, so i'll try and keep this brief:
Christian Bale: his portrayal as the dark knight is perfect. another job well done, he just simply kicks ass at this role.
Aaron Eckhart: he was a huge surprise for me. i thought he was great. out of all the surprises in this movie, he is right at the top.
Michael Caine: couldn't think of a better 'Alfred' than this classic actor
Maggie Gyllenhaal: i thought she was a good replacement for Katie. she suited it. but still, i would have liked to have seen Katie's face in this movie, but a job well done from Maggie anyway
Gary Oldman: his role really steps in a whole lot more in The Dark Knight. hes so cool.
Cillian Murphy: hes not credited much for his surprise cameo, but i was happy they at least brought him back, briefly, he was just so great in the first i was happy to see him again
AND NOW, OF COURSE.. Heath Ledger: after seeing the trailers for TDK we all knew he was going to be mind blowing, and wasn't he ever, if anything, he is so far past the expectations we had, he exceeded them so much,he just gave it his all and you can tell!!! he delivers so much, his Joker role almost seems completely and utterly real. when you watch him, you don't see Heath Ledger, you see the JOKER, this pure evil, psychotic psychopath. it is most definitely a true shame that Heath will not be able to bask in his fame for this movie, which he totally deserves. if he doesn't win the Oscar for best actor, than i swear i will never watch the Oscars again!!!(OK, maybe i'll have a peek here and there, but i will lose respect for it)
over all, a great film, my favourite, it delivers everything and much more
