First time since Toy Story 2 that I prefer a sequel to it's original in which the original is in the top 250

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2008)

This was a solid film. Not much to improve upon. The plot was superb and the acting was even better. Heath Ledger as the joker is crazier and creepier than Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs". He has the best supporting actor academy award locked up, and it will not be a sympathy vote. It is the greatest portrayal of any villain I have ever seen, including Hannibal Lecter, Norman Bates, and Jack Nicholson's Joker. The writing is fantastic, and is complimented with awe-inspiring special effects and cinematography. This movie was very well executed and had a plethora of plot twists to keep you enthralled. The only thing that needed improving upon was how remarkably unbelievable it was, but that doesn't bug me seeing as it's based on an unbelievable comic book. Very solid film: 9/10
