Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2011)

This is probably the best film that I have seen in a very long time. I have been a fan of Batman ever since I picked up my first comic book many decades ago. Seeing the various portrayals of the Caped Crusader have been interesting but none have enthralled me as much as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. But the standout performance was Heath Ledger as The Joker. His portrayal of The Thin White Duke Of Death was astounding. To be quite honest, I did not think he had it in him but happily, I was wrong. Chris Nolan has outdone himself and has finally given the comic book fans a movie worthy of the genre. The movie itself was well written, brilliantly acted and the special effects were eye popping. It is about time that we were given intelligent films like this and we have Nolan, Bale, Oldman and Ledger to thank.
