My Favourite Film of all Time!

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2018)

Being a humongous Chris Nolan fan, I had no doubt going into this movie that it was going to be bad especially after the first movie in Nolans trilogy, Batman Begins. But this film completely shattered my expectations of it! For a start the acting and casting in this movie is faultless! Christian Bale is my favourite Batman of all time, along Heath Ledger as the Joker. One of the mesmerising villain performances of all time. This mans chemistry with Batman is the key aspect of this movie. Every scene with him is so spectacular to watch, from him being red headed nurse in Gotham Hospital to him burning someone alive in a stash of money. Heath Ledger, you have easily hung yourself in a place of cinematic history.
The basic plot of the story is that Batman is now a little more known in Gotham now and is seen as a hero to most. Then suddenly, out of his mysterious past, the Joker sprouts out, intent on killing batman and taking over Gotham. Batman must try and save his city whilst under the incredibly smart, psychological torment of the Joker, gnawing away his intelligence every step of the way.
This movie is a Flawless Masterpiece in my opinion and should have beaten slum dog million at the Oscars in 2009! 10/10 - 100%
