The Dark Knight



Batman is back but this time he shall be known as the dark knight.

Yesterday I went to see the latest installment of the batman series directed by Christophor Nolan, and of course as the caped crusador it is of course Christian Bale who as always gave a brilliant performance as both Bruce Whayne and Batman.

But the one thing that many people have been talking about is how great Heath Ledger supposodly is as the Joker. Now let me say this my favourite Batman villian is the joker and I would hate to be let down but beleive it or not , his performance just stole the show, and in my opinion of all the people who have played the joker Heath Ledger's Joker in my opinion was by far the best not to say that I didn't like Jack Nicholson because beleive me his Joker was also great I just prefer Heath Ledger.

The movie is essentially how Batman has cleaned up the streets up crime but when a psycopathic known as the Joker comes in is main goal is bring down gothams hope by bringing down both batman and gothams new district eternee Harvey Dent played by Alan Eckhart.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS SKIP THIS PASSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

When Harvey becomes Two face later into the movie this time caused by half of his face being lit on fire, my small complaint is that they just used him up and let him die in the end however the parts in the movie when he is two face he is played very well and with a flip of a coin he decides what will happen to his enemies, but it would have been cool to have seen him in the sequal.

Well thats about all I have to say about this movie all and all the hype for this movie was worth it it kicked major ass and in my opinion I think it was better than Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.

****1/2/*****

I might change it you'll never know this is just my thoughts on it now bear in mind I only saw the movie yesterday.

This movie kicks ass, go see it now wheather your a Batman fan or just a super hero fan, go and see The Dark Knight.
