Film Review - The Dark Knight (2008)

The Dark Knight continues the story from Batman Begins, with Christian Bale returning as Bruce Wayne/The Batman and this time, his duty is confronted by a manic madman known only as The Joker, Heath Ledger’s last complete role, and as the Joker raises the stakes, The Batman must confront all he believes in order to restore the balance.

And now, to cut through the bull, this is most likely the only summer blockbuster I have seen in a cinema that not only delivered on its promise, it blew it sky high, although Ledger does brilliantly, the star of the film for me was director Christopher Nolan, not once does he falter or rely on CGI to tell his story, everything moves very well and has a strong pace to it and on top of that, there is one action sequence in the film that ranks with the best I’ve ever seen.

I won’t say too much more, expect that it deserves a 5 out of 5 and that it is absolutely worth watching.
