My all-time favourite movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2009)

This is my top favourite movie, and with good reason. Christopher Nolan has done an incredible job on this, and so has everyone else. To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to Heath Ledger's performance, I felt his death will just distract me throughout the movie. But he doesn't just act, he becomes the Joker. As does everyone else with their respective characters. Maggie Gyllenhaal is MUCH better than Katie Holmes. The action scenes in this are awe-inspiring, I could've sworn I wet my pants more than once. The writing is brilliant, along with it's themes. The whole morality and Humanity of it all, brought across by the duality of Batman and Joker. It really makes you think, about killing and chaos. The soundtrack is terrific, and the Joker music is really provocative. The ending (don't worry, not a spoiler) is my favourite in movies and I choke up every time I see it. A lot of people complain that the movie was too long or they could've taken out a scene or two, but each scene holds so much gravity that to take any of them out would make the film nowhere near as good (but still great).
