A slowly moving action-packed film.

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2008)

My whole family came to see this film with high expectations. The very beginning started very well, and kept making me happy. Though, it seemed a whole lot more than just 2 hrs and 30 minutes. Heath Ledger played an excellent role as The Joker, though, you never really find out what his motivation is. I know he thinks that people shouldn't try to be so serious and wanted to play games with Batman, but you never really find out if the story about his scars were true. I was very disappointed when Rachel dies, but I think that would be the only thing to make Harvey become the villain.
The ending, it was never told what happened to the Joker after he was caught, but I believe that's the point just before Heath Ledger died.
But, Bruce Wayne wasn't really the center of this movie. It was more focused on the Joker than anything else. And how the Joker got so many henchman is still a mystery to me.
My dad didn't like this film at all, mainly because it was too long, and he didn't like what happened in this film. I came out satisfied. I was happy with most of the film, and how amazing Heath Ledger did on his role.
All in all, this is an excellent film, but I think they needed to focus more on Bruce Wayne than just on the Joker.
Also, I didn't like it when Harvey dies in the end, because I thought he might move on in the next Batman film.
