One the best made films ....EVER ...PERIOD

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2008)

From the very start of this film i was sceptical over the finished article in production and mood terms , seeing as the other films in the series portrayed a very dark mythodical view of the underworld of Gotham. Friends who had seen this has mentioned just how good it was but again i had my concerns as to where the film was heading after the rather poor showing in my opinion of Batman Begins.... But during the opening scenes it was made apparent that this was going to be a very different insight into the "Batman" , first of all the casting in this film is truly exceptional and with the late Heath Ledger being touted as a possible winner of an Oscar nomination and/or winner you can clearly see why. Heath's portrait of an already massively familiar character made famous by the legendary Jack Nicholson was truly unbelievable he made "Joker" sinister , scary, and undeniably funny a true master class in his acting credentials. The only slight gripe was that when i saw the movie with my girlfriend we both turned to each other at the end and thought batman with the costume on a had a serious speech inpediment or massively wrong fitted dentures something which may have been caused by the suit , the action scenes were awesome the lighting etc etc was all wonderful and for the first time i think that the story was fantastic which for this type of film usually gets bypassed in favour of the big budget effects to rake in the summer punters. I also believe that the sudden passing of Heath Ledger has contributed massively to the unbelievable hype of this film which has blown the box office away and put this on the map as a true classic , this fact along with a fantastic cast will propell this for a long long time. Last of all go treat yourselves and ur family's to this film you will not be left wanting.......
