    Why So Serious?

    The long awaited and much hyped sequel finally arrived and it certainly didn't disapoint! Good story line with great action scenes and brilliant acting makes this new adaption of the Batman series much more engaging especially with its darker feel. It has to be said that Heath Ledgers version of the Joker, although I don't think entirely oscar worthy, absolutely brilliant and everytime he was on screen you couldn't help but laugh! The make-up for Harvey Dent was amazing aswell. The only bad points about this film is that it was extremely long, which was not needed and just dragged the story out! Also if you suffer from vertigo, BEWARE! some jaw dropping moments throughout! Other than this it was well worthy of 4 stars.
