What more do you want?!

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2009)

This is it. This is as good as a film can be. It's funny, it's beautiful, it's clever. It's complex but in a way that's easy to follow. It's simply amazing how much they've managed to fit into this movie. The most captivating part, I think, is the creation of Two-Face. The contrast of his two personalities is simply brilliant.
The recreation of the joker is blinding too. Ledger aside, just look at the role. Any old actor could have done this job and made it good! The dialogue is impeccable. The magic trick scene is funny, and his conversation with Two-Face is expressive. "You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it!" Ledger did an amazing job, but I feel that his death made this The Heath Ledger Show. Which is a shame because it distracts from all of the many other brilliant elements.
I've said it ever since he made Memento, Nolan is as good a film maker as you can ever get. He wrote this movie too, don't forget. The burden, and therefore the credit, goes to him. This is simply one of the best films ever made.
