Epic....

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

First off, I just want to say this. If you are a parent who is considering taking your child who is younger than like 14 to see this, don't. This is not a kids superhero movie. This is for the adults, and there a certain parts that may disturb your child. With that, I have to say this film surpassed everything I have heard about it. It is a chilling tale that gets darker as you go along. The story is well written and will have you wondering what will happen next. You might even get alittle nervous at times. I did. There are moments that will have you smiling. But there are those moments that will have you feeling sorry and sad for the character at hand. And then you have those other scenes that will have your mouth open, with you you wondering "Did I see that?".
The acting is some of the best I have scene in awhile. Christian Bale back as Batman is better than ever. Morgan Freeman and Michael Cane are perfect as always. Maggie and Aaron fit there roles beautifully. And of course, like everyone says, Heath Ledger is the Joker. He brought this dark, sadistic style to it that we have never seen in a live action setting before. It is truly how the Joker should be. I do say, his performance as the Joker leaves Jack Nicholson's version behind and grew up loving his.
I highly recommended this film. It is well worth the time and money. Do not worry about the time limit. The 2 hour and 30 minutes fly by, and you won't want it to be over. Nolan and the team ends the film with the crowd wanting more and more. But at the end, everyone will be giving it a standing ovation. I went to the midnight showing last night and everyone stood up and clapped for it when it ended. It is the summer blockbuster for 2008.
