Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

This movie was, and I'm not exaggerating; perfect.
complex character development merged seamlessly with superb action buffered by brilliant performances....
Yes, Heath Ledger was incredible, and I found myself actually cringing( in anticipation and terror) whenever he appeared on screen... Hans zimmer and co. should be given credit for a brilliant background score...
and lest we forget, Batman was played really well by Bale(again) and he acts his role out perfectly, not overdoing it one bit, giving his stalwart costars ample space to shine themselves.... And shine they do! Micheal Caine and Morgan Freeman are their sublime self, Gary Oldman is raw and sensitive at the right times, and pretty boy Aaron eckhart is simply outstanding as Harvey dent/Twoface, displaying boyish eagerness and conscience personified as well as the madness of a man pushed over the edge , transitioning these poles with ease....
Some people may express dissent over the replacement of the gorgeous Katie Holmes with Maggie gyllenhaal, but this movie demanded performance, and hence, according to me, the makers of the movie only gained by giving her the role...
This is not a movie for kids(Some disturbing parts, trust me!) and idiots with the emotional maturity of a 10 year old.
but i ramble on now, so to end...........
I have never found the time ( OK actually I'm lazy as hell) to write a review on IMDb. This movie made me sign up, and write this. and believe me when I say, that you will not be disappointed even though this movie's been hyped like mad!
