Nolan for President!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2008)

Without getting carried away or going into too much detail, this movie is simply amazing. The whole thing comes together perfectly, acting, direction, plot, they all fit so nicely. I was / am a big fan of Batman begins and Nolan has really stepped up to the plate with his second offering. I left the cinema heart broken, not heart broken over a poor movie, heart broken that it was over and that i had to leave. Bale brings a really strong sense of Wayne's inner battle to the character and although i have been very very un-willing/reluctant to just fall in with the bleeding masses and pay Ledger his dues, only a liar can say a bad thing about his performance, it is breath taking. The only recent comparable effort i can think of is is Javier Bardem in "no country for old men" and even that is a stretch. I am certain that the Dark Knight will surpass all box office records for anything in the genre and beyond, but above that, will be the new benchmark for super hero movies. Vive Le Nolan!!!
