Intricate& fast moving - must see twice!

We went to see this on the Superscreen, which made it an incredible experience, but I'm sure it will impress no matter where you see it. Great acting by Aaron Eckhart, Christian Bale, and of course Heath Ledger, not to mention the other cast of stars. In a nutshell, everyone was in top form, working with a near-perfect script and what else could you expect other than a stellar film and breathtaking movie experience!
The film probes the queston of whether a superhero like Batman should even exist, since both criminals and vigilantes want to have their turn at being a superhero or criminal match to him, and thereby create chaos, disorder, and crime.
Heath Ledger is so disturbing as the joker that one has the impression that no one can stop him and indeed, most of the film seems to be one in which all the crime fighers, Batman included, are pawns in his game of crime for its own sake.
This is definitely a fast paced movie with many plot turns. You will be relieved to see Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine as steadying influences during the storm of violence. Gary Oldman is superb as Lt. Gordon aiding Batman, and Nestor Carbonell as the Mayor is perfect in portraying a mayor with questonable motives who plays both ends against the middle.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
