Should have been called "The White Knight"

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2008)

As I sat through this movie I thought that the Joker was the real star in this film. Heath Ledger was brilliant, far better than Jack Nicholson and all others. The movie comes to life every time he appears on screen. I do think Christian Bale is the best Batman, but what's with his voice? I was also glad to see Gary Oldman get a bigger role. Michael Caine as always was low-key and does his usual good work, as does Morgan Freeman. Having those reliable actors adds to the film. I wish they had a bigger role in this film. Instead they give a larger role to actor Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, and this is where I think the movie starts to suck.
I can't believe this is being called the movie of the year. But everyone I talked to thought it was so great. So my opinion doesn't reflect the majority. But the popcorn was better than I have had in the past. Would I see it again? No.
