A great sequel...Ledger stole the show

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2008)

The Dark Knight is perhaps better than the original, Batman Begins, in my opinion, but as well as being that it's also a great chance for people to watch, remember and think about Heath Ledger. As the Joker he gives a superb last performance, stealing practically every scene which he featured inhe was both frightening and funny. The film in general is certainly more complicated than any other hero movie I've seen before; lots of goodies and baddies, plots and twists that made it a little difficult to keep up with for adults, let alone children. It's certainly something I'll have to see again when it comes out of DVD. It's still a great movie nonetheless and everyone should see it. Harvey Dent was a good introduction, giving a fresh angle to the plot, while Gary Oldman & Morgan Freeman reprise their roles well as Batman's allies. What more can I say without spoiling it? It has great action, breathtaking and well-thought of stunts and is destined to be a real hit for years to come.
