Not Perfect But Still A Great Film.

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2008)

People said that "The Dark Knight" surpasses "Batman Begins". In a way it does. The action is a lot better, the story is better and darker and Batman is more cooler then ever. Christian Bale is great as Batman, even topping his performance from "Batman Begins", Michael Caine returns as Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart all played their roles perfectly and really makes the story work but the most outstanding performance role in the movie goes to Heath Ledger who played The Joker.
Having saying that however the movie did have some disappointments. First: The films running time is a bit long and the movie does lag in some parts. Second: Two-Face didn't have enough screen time he only had about 40 mins and only fights Batman once which ends up him falling off a building and falling to his death. Third: The Joker doesn't die which leaves the viewer wondering about his fate. The movie loses stars for this.
Christoper Nolan does deserve credit for this film. He wrote the story, not only was he the main director of the film, he also directed the first and second unit to make sure the film was perfect. I loved the film very very much but it just missed a few things and some things could have been better. But overall It's a great film that tops up there with "Spiderman", "Superman", "X-Men" and "Ironman".
