NOT the best movie of 2008

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2009)

I waited a long time to see this movie because all the hype turned me off to it a bit. Normally I don't care for special effect movies, and even less so if they are based on a comic book. But after spending almost three hours of my time watching this movie, I have to say it wasn't a complete waste of time. Of course Heath Ledger puts in a great performance, but I can't help but notice how everybody else's acting pales in comparison – especially Aaron Eckhart. He was not convincing as Two Face at all. And also, the switch from Katie Holmes to Maggie Gyllenhaal was quite annoying. But all in all, it wasn't boring. I recommend watching it after all the talk and sad award ceremonies about it are over.
