A classic, brilliant, but only one flaw...

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2008)

Overall I have to say that this movie is a masterpiece. Nolan has got it right in every aspect, from casting, to the storyline. It's perfect.
Christian Bale pulls off something great, although a lot of the concentration is on The Joker in this movie, I don't think Bale gets as much credit as he deserves.
Heath Ledger is nothing less than phenomenal. I remember my first impression when first finding out that Ledger had been cast as The Joker was something of disbelief and honestly didn't think he'd pull it off. He's managed to create an iconic villain for the future and makes Jack Nicholson's Joker look like something from Lazy Town. I think Ledger pulls everything off brilliantly, from being the villain that he is, to throwing the occasional joke here and there too.
Aaron Eckart also plays a brilliant roll in this and seems to be also quite underrated as he plays a major part in the entire film, and I must say Nolan's vision of Two Face is pretty good.
My ONLY flaw with this film was that casting Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes was a large mistake. Not that I don't rate Maggie as an actress, I just think her acting isn't up to par for something as big as this.
Other than that, this film is brilliantly amazing. I've so far been to the cinema twice to see it and intend on going a couple more times too.
