Great but not amazing

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2008)

This was a great film, but not in my opinion beating out Batman Begins. I loved the opening to Begins and story and character development. I felt that, that was someway missing in this flick. I love Christopher Nolan and his crazy and thought provoking movies and this delivered. They were great special effects and good acting. The issues i had was with character development. Christan Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne did a great job, however I am somewhat biased as I have basically watched him every movie he's been it and admire the guy. Freeman and Caine did a good job, but my critic of Rachel Dawes character and Two Face/Harvey Dent left me wanting more. Maggie did a great job, however i felt that the Dawes character was nothing like Katie Holmes Rachel Dawes in 'Begins'. Aaron Eckhart did a great job in bringing Harvey Dent to life, He was a believable character and I liked him, however as Two face, i didn't see much emotion and that character kinda sucked. And Heath Ledger as the joker, need I say more, just WOW. The movie in general was fun, wasn't reaching for my watch at any point, but very much enjoyed Batman Begins Better
