Oh yes, It's that good!

I have to admit that I wasn't the biggest fan of "Batman Begins", actually right after I watched it I came right here to IMDb, and just tried to explain why the movie didn't work for me, while every person on the planet came out loving it. 3 years later, I really don't care much about "Batman Begins", but I loved this movie, "The Dark Knight" corrected everything I didn't like about the first one, I loved every second of it, I even loved the Scarecrow cameo, the Falcone mention, and of course this movie works in every level, because it gives us a formidable opponent for Batman, and that's of course The Joker, he really steals the show, he really is as crazy as you think he's gonna be, the way he lies about everything (even his origin), the way he explains everything, the nurse outfit, everything was just perfect about him, Ledger really deserves an Oscar, this role alone makes him worthy, and I think that the millions of people that watched this movie can really discredit the Academy if that doesn't happen.
I read the review I made three years ago for "Batman Begins", and really, even if you hated the first movie, there's nothing of that in here, Bruce Wayne is the ultimate anti-hero/hero/not-a-hero, Alfred is not a pain in this movie, Lucius Fox it's not just there for the lines, Rachel is really strong and really becomes a tragic hero, and Two-Face was really great, and not just a second fiddle to the Joker, he really is just the two extremes of a man, Gordon finds his place in Gotham, and the Mayor is Batmanuel. The music by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard works this time around, and is not just buzzing in the background like in the first one (By the way the Joker theme works really great on the screen) OK, the reason I did all of this, is because I needed to tell everyone, that this is the Batman movie you've been waiting for, the movie that goes to those dark places you knew these movies were destined to go, but actually never went. So go ahead and watch the movie already, stop reading my bad writing, and put a smile on your face...
