Perfect Batman Film

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2013)

Perfect is a word I never use when talking about films but this breaks the rule. Here are my top reasons for giving this a solid 10/10.
1.) Acting. All the acting in the film is great, Aaron Eckharts troubled Harvey Dent really allows us to see how easy it is to fall into evil. Christian Bale not only gives us a good Batman but a good Bruce Wayne as well, Michael Caine is forever excellent as Alfred and Gary Oldman does really well portraying the tough Jim Gordon. However Heath Ledger is the star of the show as the Joker. He gives us an insane, disturbing character who seems very real and very, very evil. His performance is in my mind the best portrayal of character in film EVER!
2.) Story. The story is full of exciting twists and links to the comic books. There are no plot holes and the story rockets from action scene to action scene however the bits in between are still interesting and develop the characters really well.
3.) Effects/Props. The effects on this film are great from the chase through Gotham to the machines and make up. The new Bat Suit is better than the already good one in Batman Begins and the final battle scene is very very well done.
So overall this film although being almost 3 hours is engrossing the the last minute. Everything from the dialogue to the prosthetics to score seems to hit the target.
