Great movie, a little too drawn out towards the end

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2008)

Well I had great hopes for this movie and it didn't disappoint. Heath Ledgers role was the best I've seen from him. Its a pity that he is no longer with us to see the popularity of this movie, however people are clearly feeling more for this then they should be because of Heaths death. Great supporting actors, not to much over acting but a bit notable towards the end. It was great to see the process of catching the joker was played out pretty much like its suppose to go, the cops catch the bad guy and the DA prosecutes with the help of Batman. That's where I thought it would have been a great time to finish the movie, the next 45 minutes after that I lost all interest. Unfortunately like so many movies today too many special effects and non believable circumstances make it a real let down. I would have loved this movie more if it didn't go for so long. Would recommend seeing it, but not a favourite in my books.
