Stunning in every aspect

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2008)

Not only did this movie bring excitement throughout its entirety, but it also had stellar acting, a great plot, and beautiful character development. First off Heath's joker is something to be marveled at. He perfected the role and turned the joker into the psychotic, blood crazy villain that we all so desired. In addition, his role really darkened the tone of the movie, giving it an edge that most Batman movies (excluding Begins) have never really had. The jokers constant shifts in mood, ideals, and actions in the movie left me questioning his sanity throughout, which was definitely the intentions of Nolan. In fact, i rarely could even guess his next move and this made his character so perfectly frightening. Bale and Eckhart are also stunning in their roles as well. A battle torn and somewhat confused Bale was really portrayed after the Joker entered Batmans life and begins wrecking him physically and mentally. Eckhart was a beautiful Harvey Dent. The entire first half of the movie his light side was so apparent i really enjoyed his presence, and his transformation into two face was fantastic. The visual effects and action scenes were nothing short of perfect, never too animated and never by any means dull. From the start to the finish i was entertained in what i think was one of the best movies of the past 2 years. I plan on seeing it again in theaters and definitely buying it once it hits DVD sales. If there is ever a movie to go and spend 9 dollars on, id recommend this, and id recommend it to all ages.
