One of the best comic book related works ever

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2012)

When I was younger my favourite comic book hero was Spiderman. Now times have changed and I have turned to a darker, cooler hero. I first became a big Batman fan with the release of the award winning Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games, and this movie is definitely on their level. The acting from Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckheart, Morgan Freeman and Christian Bale (but I did wish that between lines when he is Batman, he would close his mouth!) just enhances the effect of the fantastic dialogue and action scenes, and don't even get me started on the quality of the music: Hans Zimmer is I believe by far the best movie sound track producer ever. The Batsuit has had some much needed improvements from Batman Begins, as Bale can now move around naturally, and Batmans motorbike is just plain awesome. The Joker, Two-Face and Scarecrow's minor appearance make great villains to counterpart Batman's brooding nature. The costume and makeup on Heath is just fantastic. This move is action packed, emotional and classy, and the finale send tingles down your spine, it's that cool. I will definitely be going to see The Dark Knight Rises when that is released, and so should you.
