Easily best movie of 2008

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2008)

I walked out of this movie thinking one thing- WOW. i don't know if this is the best movie ever, but it's definitely the Best superhero\comic movie. now to the analysis: ACTING Christian Bale- Bale delivers another great show, just like he did in "Begins". Out of all the "Bruce Wayne"s, Bale's Wayne is the one i found it easiest to identify with. His double life as Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy, and Batman, the vigilante crime fighter. His dilemma about crossing the rules in order to save the ones you love. i could almost feel what he felt. superb acting, and i can't wait to see him in the third installment Heath Ledger- in a word- PERFECT. unlike Nicholson's comedic, happy joker, Ledger plays the Joker the way he should be- Phsycotic, Selfish and Sadisticly funny. obviously steals the show in each of his scenes. The voice, The clothes, The make-up. just PERFECT.
Maggie Gyllenhall- My one disappointment of this movie. IMO, her acting was TERRIBLE. and that's a compliment. you can not imagine how happy I was when she died. Thank god she won't be coming back in the next one.
Aaron Eckhart- This guy is a really good actor. the role of the attorney-gone-bad suited him perfectly. Never heard of him 'till now, and i see he has potential.
all the side-roll actors(Oldman, Cainee, Freeman) were also very good.
Music- Not much to say here. it was good, but could have been dropped off at certain scenes.
Plot+Length- Although it was good, the hole LAU story-line could have been easily left out and we would still have a good 2 hour superhero movie. I mean, about 10-15 minutes after the LAU thing ended, i forgot about it. why? because it made no difference in the main plot.
OMG moments- the Batpod coming out the Batmobile, The hospital exploding, The truck flipping over and the bank robbery. oh, and the boat and doctors\clowns scenes were DAMN BRILLIANT
