Well Worth the Wait

from Gotham City
Fans have eagerly been awaiting this movie ever since the very last teaser at the end of Batman Begins three years ago: the Joker card. I can tell you right now, they will certainly not be dissapointed.
The Dark Knight really knew what it was trying to say. In some ways, that was the only failure of Batman Begins. It seemed to be trying to say too much at once. But this time around, there seemed to be much more effort in tying things together throughout. In short, the Dark Knight is a story of how we cope with catastrophe in our lives, a theme which can be seen reflected in all the major characters.
I know that everyone's been raving about Heath Ledger's performance, but you really can't not mention it in a complete review. He was genius. His performance was dazzling in that you didn't know whether to root for him or despise him. This Joker, in other words, is incredibly twisted, but is still sickenly funny at the same time. Perfect.
And I was very happy with how they handled Harvey Dent and his eventual transformation. Eckhart could elicit sympathy with seemingly no effort. He's just a likeable guy. A terribly unlucky guy.
Anyway, this movie will definitely be just what the fans were waiting for all this time. It packs a punch and holds quite a few surprises as well. Check it out.
