Unbelievably pure entertainer!

Rating: 7/10 (9 August 2008)

The Dark Knight has a new nemesis "The Joker" in this sequel to Batman Begins. And its the Joker who steals the show this time. The performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker was very satisfying to me. No, I have not seen the previous incarnation for this psycho character, but honestly, in this movie he is very good.
Talk about the plot, it all comes down to two perceptions of the audience. Some people try to find realism in plots and are rightly disappointed, while others enjoy frames after frames being churned out with spectacular stunts (not fights though). In the theater, I found myself belonging to the second type of people. If CGI has been used in these stunts then they are really good, If not, these stunt-men should be awarded.
The Dark Knight is pure action entertainer. But not as good a plot as Batman Begins. I think the movie did more good to character of the Joker rather than the Batman.
2 stars for Heath, 2 for cinematography, 2 for stunts and 1 for the music. That's 7 out of 10.
