Simply Outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2010)

There are few ways to describe the complete shock I felt after watching this film. Going into it expecting for it to be similar to the less than perfect batman films I had seen before, I was amazed to find it is probably, I feel, the best film I have ever seen ( I confess to no having watched The Shawshank Redemption yet). The entire film is carried by the flawless performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker, and has the perfect balance between the action sequences and dialogue, to give the film depth and character development, without compromising the fast pace that an action film should have. Additionally, the action sequences are fast, and superbly designed, allowing fast and exciting action that is original in its ideas when you watch it. Simply Outstanding.
