Good comic adaptation

Rating: 8/10 (31 July 2008)

There has been a lot of expectation about this movie, especially because of heath ledger's Joker performance and his unfortunate dead after finishing the film.
Certainly Ledger's performance is one of the major points of the film; he really constructed a complex villain without fitting in to the stereotypes you could imagine for the joker.
The rest of the cast do a good job as well. The story has some interesting turns that you don't expect if you are not a fan of the comics, I mean that people who has read them might know what could happen next in the story. Notwithstanding the plot has it's variations of course from the comic book, so the suspense is not affected.
I think, this is a well conceived second part for the new Batman films adaptation directed by Christopher Nolan, who gave the films an interesting and realistic sense. I have to say that I liked more the first one (Batman begins) maybe because that one surprised me more at the time I saw it.
This one left the story open for a third instalment, which I hope , might be as good as the previous films.
