This is a very good film in my opinion. It is highly stylised, but this only adds to its enjoyment. The late Heath Ledger gives a haunting and memorable performance as the Joker and Christian Bale... more

    Advantages Advantages Still to the high standards of the first film

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 152 minutes in length!

    In my mind Batman Begins was probably the first superhero film since Superman The Movie that had its feet firmly placed o the ground in terms of story telling and plot. The long awaited sequel is about to be released and this for some is what the fans have been waiting for, that is the return of The Joker. Just watching this film and the fact there is a sequel to Batman Begins is a bonus on its own. People though that this would never get off the ground at all, so seeing the majority of the original cast from the first film is a true achievement and goes to show how much belief the cast have ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great cast, script, action etc.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too long and poorly rated.

    In January of this year we were all shocked when actor and heartthrob to a lot of people in the world Heath Ledger died of an accidental OD. However he did manage to act in two films before his death, one he never completed and the other was probably one of his best pieces of work, ever. His role in the Dark Knight is nothing like you would expect, he doesn't make you swoon ladies like he does in his other films, he doesn't just seem to be there for eye candy. He was always a good actor, I agree, but it's a shame his life ended just when he found his niche, his role as the Joker was truly his ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good bits

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Over-rated

    'Don't believe the hype', as 'Flava Flav', the rapper dude who wears the big clock around his neck, once said, the flamboyant Public Enemy singers iconic Hip Hop line spot on when it comes to reviewing the big event movie of 2008. When you hear only great things about a film and enjoyed the previous one in the franchise you expect and want it to deliver, which, although the Dark Knight did in some aspects, it just didn't nail it in the critical categories a sequels must for me, especially in the superhero category. I'm not saying its poor or anything but just distinctly underwhelming for the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good performances, effects and overall style.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A very long running-time and too many subplots.

But now the thugs are fighting back, rallying around a dangerous psychopath in clown make-up who calls himself The Joker. He plans to kill Batman and take over the city. As The Joker’s crimes escalate and become more personal, Bruce joins forces with District Attorney Harvey Dent, who also happens to be dating Rachel Dawes, Bruce’s long-neglected childhood sweetheart. But like Bruce, those around him are not always what they seem… Christopher Nolan ... more

    Advantages Advantages Chilling to the core

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some underused characters

    Hard to believe I know but it has been three long years since Batman Begins first hit cinema screens across the globe, and now as I write this The Dark Knight takes the story on a seamless transition from one movie to the other. 2008's most anticipated movie would have been a blockbuster hit alone, but the death of one of the co-stars Heath Ledger an icon of our time solidified its place in history; when The Dark Knight opened a week ago in America it smashed box office record by achieving a whooping turnover of 67 million pounds on its first day. At the end of the already dark Batman Begins ... more
