A new and Intense take on the Joker

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2011)

Although i say this with considerable bias as i have loved Batman lore since i was 3-4 years old, watching dark knight was one of the best movie experiences i have ever had.
I consider myself to be a batman expert of sorts, watched every animated/real movie and every animated/real series. In addition i have also read quite a few comics.
Not do demote Heath Ledgers spectacular performance, but the Joker is not what i would expect, he sort of ruins the dichotomy between Joker and Batman. Although Mark Hammil is still my favourite joker, I think Heath's is superior to Nicholson's. However Nicholson's joker was a much more pure and wholehearted Joker, and perhaps Heath would have not performed such a joker as well as Jack.
Back to the movie, there seems to be a very strong Chaotic theme, and backed with great effects. The jokers who is well portrayed as a mad dog keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, I kept wondering what will go wrong next.
Although Nolan's direction gives me a headache sometimes, especially since you have to decipher how the combat is going from the hints the camera gives you(too much random shakiness), I have to say that it's improved from since Batman Begins.
I recommend this to everyone!
