For a movie that was 2.5 hours long, there wasn't a slow moment in the movie! This is the best Batman movie ever produced. My expectations were high after the 1st picture Batman Begins, but they did the Dark Night even more justice in the sequel.
I wasn't sure if anyone could match Marvel Comics' Iron Man or Hulk success from earlier this summer, but DC Comics has shown us that the battle of the superhero movies is oficially on!
Christian Bale is by far the best actor to portray the Dark Night thus far and does not dissappoint in this role. The struggle he has to endure to find his worth in this film is unforgettable! Our hero has found it truly impossible to be just that... a hero. That said, Heath Ledger is truly a lost talent.
His performance has left me wanting to see more of this character, and if you've never seen him act, this is your chance to see the role that would have taken him to the next level!
Many will say Jack Nicholson was the best Joker, and he really was great in his role, no doubt, but the context of that movie and how it was produced kept him more in line with that directors vision of how far that character could go down the "psycho" path, making Jacks role more twisted funny than freaking psychopath madness as Heath was able to. This Joker is one tremendously sick man!!! They unleashed Heath in this role and he does not dissappoint.
I wasn't too happy with the switch of character playing Bruce's girlfriend, as Katie Holmes should have worked out a deal that kept her in the movie, but Ms. Gylenhal did her job well also. It's just that she's honestly not as attractive as Katie and she doesn't fit Bruce's or Harvey Dent's style or taste in women. It was Ms. Gylenhal's acting that made Rachel's character come back to life and easier to accept.
I am also amazed at how well they built in the Harvey Dent character from his beginnings all the way into his transition into "Two Face" as well. The way they eventually showed both sides of his face, one normal and one mangled was superb and looked very close to the comic and cartoon images many are familiar with. He was another driving force of the high level of emotion running through the entire movie.
This is one serious ride folks! It reminds me more of the Batman Rollercoaster at Magic Mountiain than a movie. It was that much fun! You have to see for yourself!
I may actually go see it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
