Brings out a question: is a villain lurking inside us ?

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2008)

An excellent sequel from Batman Begins, this movie brings us the question if we ever had a true villain in each of us...
This movie brings us the good and bad consciences: the good, which is the Batman, who tries to help Gotham City to eliminate evil, and the bad, which is the Joker, an egomaniac assassin with no reason why he commits these horrible crimes and murders. In between, lieutenant Gordon who tries to keep his police department in order, District Attorney Harvey Dent who wants to put all corrupts in jail, his assistant (and girlfriend) Rachel Dawes, who is thorn because of Bruce Wayne's choice of being a split persona as a playboy millionaire and a masked vigilante, Alfred who tries to ease Bruce Wayne's life a little bit, and Lucius Fox, who questions why he became Batman's technical servant. And Bruce Wayne himself, who regrets the loss of Rachel on Harvey Dent's advantage.
There is a lot of twists, some action scenes, but at the end, it is mostly a psychological thriller which we are living, a duel between a sadistic criminal and an unofficial lawman. Well done, well acted and well written.
I still have to say this is the best acting ever done by an actor, however he is not here anymore to hear or read this, so Heath Ledger, wherever you are, you did a good job and hopefully you get rewarded.
The rest of the cast, kudos to Aaron Eckhart, give him another good role, he is good as Harvey Dent/Two Face...
A movie to recommend, but not to the faint of heart...
