The Dark Knight


Absolutely bloody brilliant !!

And what a performance by Heath Ledger !! Definitely one of the best negative roles for a long time, if not the greatest ever.

(Infact I had serious misgivings about all the hoopla about Ledger's potrayal as The Joker in the days preceding the release - people were claiming it worth of a posthumous oscar etc. I thought they were just trying to generate free publicity for the movie !!)

But the first five minutes after the appearance of the Joker and all my skepticism disappeared. He's just done a bloody good job. So much so that although its a Batman movie, Christian Bale is a clear second string !! And this is not some attempt to glorify Ledger after his demise - the director Nolan must have sometime during the filming of the movie itself, realized how powerful the Joker was and gave him more space ...

But nevertheless - credit goes to ALL the characters. Christian Bale is the best batman so far and Christopher Nolan is definitely the best Batman director !!!
Michael Caine is lovable as usual as ever :) while Aaron Eckhart's two face look is really awesome!!

Summary - Do not miss the movie for anything
