Not your average superhero movie

Rating: 9/10 (31 July 2010)

I really liked this movie, I liked it a lot, I mean, my expectations weren't that high, I expected action, what I did not expect was the inclusion of more abstract topics than just the good vs evil fight. I can't believe what I'm about to write, but Heath Ledger turned out to be a better Joker than Jack Nicholson, I mean this new Joker was a total psycho, he did those things because he wanted to prove that we all act like animals when we are under pressure and Nicholson's Joker did all those things just because he wanted to, because he was the bad guy. I also liked the twist that Nolan gave to Batman, because we all have this image about superheroes: they are good, innocent guys and everything they do is right, but you really question this when the movie ends. I also didn't expect certain things to happen in the film (Rachel's death, for example)which is good, because it means that the movie is well- written. Can't wait for the next movie, I read that Joseph Gordon Levitt will be Riddler, I don't like him a lot as a villain, but I thought the same about the Joker and Nolan proved me wrong, so I'll just wait and see.
