Sequel to Batman Begins about Batman battling with a mass murderer, the Joker

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2010)

I thought that the Dark Knight was really very good. I didn't enjoy it as much as Batman Begins.
Heath Ledger's performance was Oscar-winning well deserved.I loved his character, with his laugh, and his threatening voice, and his old stories about his wife, and his father. I think the Joker is very different from Jack Nicholson's Joker, and I think Ledger's version is modernised, and more effective looking.
Aaron Eckhart was very good, and his performance is undermined and overlooked by Heath Ledger's outstanding performance.
I don't know a lot of films with Maggie Gyllenhaal in, so I was new with her acting. I have to admit that I actually preferred her Rachel to Katie Holmes, and I absolutely loved all of the scenes with her and Bruce, and then with her and Harvey.
Once again, Alfred is so amazing. I love Michael Caine and the character Alfred. I loved all of the scenes with him and Bruce. I find that he is just such a caring, honest man. It shows how close Bruce and Alfred are. Love it!!
The music was once again very good. It really set the mood of every scene.
The problems with the film was that in some bits it got slightly boring, but I think part of the problem was also the dialogue. It was very talk-talk dialogue which wasn't very attractive to the film, with long and complicated and quite quiet dialogue. Some scenes were quiet in speaking and hard to hear.
I would really like to see Harvey Two-Face back for a third film of Batman, to see how Bruce comes out of hiding.
I feel that this film shows that even the good people can fall, it shows the line "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain". Although, time can also be a healer. This film shows an important message, and I love it for that.
