Definitely on par with Batman and Batman Begins

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2008)

I would never have thought that my favourite movie of the year (so far) would be a Batman sequel but Nolan did it again. It's no Memento but its good writing along with great cinematography and directing made the movie a must see for every action or blockbuster movie lover. The action sequences are all pretty solid and the performances are top notch. I know many of you can't hear it anymore but Heath Ledger did one heck of a job as the Joker. Jack Nicholson being my favourite actor ever may be the only reason I would say he is on par (and not superior) to the original Batman's Joker. I don't want to spoil too much but the overall ending and some needless (wannabe) twists were actually the only things that left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Comparing it to other comic book adaptions I think it's only inferior to the Crow.
