Perfect !

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2008)

This is a film that quite simply cannot be topped. Don't read anything else here because all you are doing is delaying the moment you see THE superhero film. Plot, casting (yes, he does deserve an Oscar nomination), direction, imagery and dialogue are all spot on. Despite being over two hours there isn't a wasted moment or scene. You will believe that they could be real people in real places by at times blurring the lines between right and wrong instead of the standard, hard and fast, good against evil. Before you say no, just look at the news in the papers. A fitting epitaph to Heath Ledger's short career is that he took on an iconic role and made it more believable, realistic and therefore frightening.
