At last, an action film not just for American teens

Katherine from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 22/07/2008

Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Spiderman... ok films but all left the same sensation that something was missing.

This film absolutely delivers. It's very very impressive indeed. Some of the action sequences are excellent, really next generation stuff. Bale shows that he's got the skills to handle this role like a trained martial artist as opposed to an actor... (You might want to see Equilibrium, where Bale kills over 300 people, Stallone didn't make it to 100 in the new Rambo)

But never forget that he's also a properly trained actor unlike say, a Cruise (The Machinist for example where he is superb). Alongside Ledger, whose performance you will hear a lot about for some time to come, this film reaches the next level for action films.

It is a shame that Harvey Dent's character is filled by Aaron Eckhart, who isn't really believeable and tends to distract from the Good (or am I ) V Bad (or am I) storyline.

Maggie Gyllenhal, as always, is great and an improvement on Katie Holmes.

If you have any interest in any type of action film, you will watch this film no matter what i say,... i would suggest though... that you watch it at the cinema and make something special of it because these films don't come around very often... an action movie with a soul, with a purpose... with a point.

The Dark Knight

malteaserhead from Ramsbottom , 25/07/2008

Quite frankly one of the best films I have ever seen. Stella performances, especially from Heath Ledger. It's not over hyped. It actually exceded my very high expectations.

Best Comic book adaptation into a movie ever.

One of the best crime thrillers I have ever seen.

Heath Ledger's Joker in my opinion surpases Jack Nicholson's.

Go see it on the IMAX, it's breathtaking.

Do believe the hype!

Why So Serious?

A customer from Telford , 26/07/2008

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.
