Well Worth It

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2008)

This film is hands down, then best I have see in a long time. It is amazing. The acting is superb! Heath Ledger will forever be remembered, although it is such a shame that he is no longer around. He steals the show every time he is on the screen with his creepy presence and unforgettable high pitched laughter. Christian Bale is great and definitely a believable character. Maggie Gyllenhaal was far better than Katie Holmes, although it is still almost as if something is missing, but that is hardly going to upset the film. Aaron Eckhart really does an excellent job with Harvey "Two-Face" Dent, and still makes a pretty disturbing "bad guy" towards the end. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman really add to the whole movie, and the occasional laugh! Everybody else who was involved in this film deserves a round of applause and should be proud of themselves. It's a fabulous film and well worth the 2 hour and 32 minute run time. Long though it may seem, you will find yourself wishing it was longer because it feels far shorter than it really is. Overall, if you just need a film that's full of action and a great way to spend the better part of three hours, go to The Dark Knight!! It may be rather helpful, however, to watch Batman Begins beforehand, because The Dark Knight will make more sense. Excellent film and really cannot wait for the third Batman. (There has to be one!!! :])
