An excellent sequel

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2008)

Dark, sometimes intense filled with great action scenes and performances with a unforgettable performance from Heath Ledger.
There are moments that may scare children, not just on terms of violence.
However the film does provide a new twist on the comic book genre. There is a powerful plot that drives the film, the film is not the typical good vs. evil and this sequel along with its predecessor Batman Begins proves that the series has come along way from the disaster that was Batman and Robin.
Should there be a sequel to this film, i will have a keen interest as to where the series would go next. The film was in someways thought provoking, the joker as twisted and evil as the character was provided a comic relief with the frequent line "why so serious" would come as ironic for the less mature audiences that may want the film to lighten up more.
Overall this film is a great sequel to Batman Begins and providing Nolan doesn't change direction as with Batman Forever or the more recent Incredible Hulk film there is a potential for more sequels in the future.
