My all time favourite film!

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2014)

This film is a spectacular mix of action and incredible acting. Heath Ledger completely out did himself with the role of the joker, creating the terrifying character, and it is mainly this reason which makes the film worth seeing. Long gone are the comical portrayals of batman and his foes. His phenomenal acting skills become apparent when you discover in one scene, which was only available to be shot once, something went wrong. Yet the audience would never know, as Ledger stays firmly in character and does not let on anything weird going on. Christian Bale is, in my opinion, the best batman. His sultry, moodiness relates directly to the role he is playing and creates an adored character. Some may be shocked by the high level of violence throughout this film, again bringing us into the 21st century away from the comical fighting from the 1960s TV show. The real excitement in this film is when we realise that the joker doesn't want money or power, he just wants to create chaos. This adds a large spin to the film and creates a sense of confusion.
