Good, but not great!

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2008)

Well, I saw TDK last night and I thought it was good... What I don't really understand though is the hype that has been created around it, because this movie won't be up in MY top 10 list.
Then again, it makes for a very enjoyable night at the cinema. Heath Ledger is excellent as the Joker, Christian Bale is always a joy to watch, Maggie Gyllenhaal was OK as Rachel (I'ld rather seen Katie Holmes, but that's just personal taste I guess...) and well...the cast is just very fine. Oldman, Freeman, Caine and Eckhart all in great supporting roles.
The plot was IMO at some points a little thin, at other points sublime, and it's like a rollercoasterride, so you couldn't pay too long any attention to the (rather minor) downsides.
Good action movie, not great and certainly not the best...
8/10
