Perfectly shaped masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2008)

The newest film in the batman series is nothing less than a masterpiece. It tells the story of an anarchist known as the joker, the extreme crime scene in the city of Gotham and the well-known vigilante Batman.
Every scene of this magnificent soon-to-be classic is absolutely perfectly crafted. You get so focused in the film because of the fantastic filming and acting (I felt the same "absorption" when I saw The Shawshank Redemption, despite the fact that it was a totally different epic journey). The film was so deep and I cannot even describe what a roller-coaster of features this film presented to me! Some of the characters made the scenes so emotionally touching and memorable, whereas others kicked the living soul out of me in action filled scenes. There are some scenes that I will never forget, which stay with me like a song you've heard a million times on the radio (not in a annoying sense).
I can't really make up my mind about who I think makes the best performance in this film; Aaron Eckhart or Heath Ledger. Don't get me wrong; Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman all contribute with insanely good acting, but the characters of Harvey two-face (Aaron Eckhart) - when he "changes" - and the Joker (Heath Ledger) are sublime. There's a specific scene with Two-face that gave me goosebumps - the acting was just performed to perfection.
This is NOT just a blockbuster or something similar to that; it is the perfect action/drama/criminal/comic-book film! My only words; This is nothing short of a masterpiece! 10/10
