having your pie and eating it as well

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

Wow, when I went to see this movie I didn't know what to expect. I'd been following it since the day it was announced and was incredibly hyped up for it. Batman Begins is one of my most favourite movies of all time and I knew it'd be a huge effort to top it.
Then I saw it, and this movie blew me away! It was outstanding in every aspect with no flaws. Even though it was lengthy, I was entertained every second (but personally I enjoy long movies, as long as their not boring crap. To put it bluntly anyway). I still think Batman Begins had a slightly better storyline, this one was still amazing. Batman Begins had the upper edge, as beginning stories are easier to write. Sequels are always hard to write and normally don't surpass the original. This one did. As they focus on the building of other characters, not just rebuilding the Batman.
Some might say what makes this movie is Heath Ledger's amazing performance of the Joker, which is legendary, is what makes this movie, but if you took it out ever other part is amazing.
This is the kind of movie that makes you think you can have your pie and eat it as well. In fact I'm going to try that now.
10/10 and rightly deserved.
