Well I went to see this movie today. Like most of you, I'm sure, I have been waiting for this movie for a long time. Mainly due to three things 1) It's the follow up to Batman Begins, which I love 2) A Batman movie with the Joker and Two Face and 3) The build up this movie has recieved due to Heath Ledger.
I have got to say this movie is nothing short of superb. Everything from Bale, Leckhart and Ledger to the smaller roles of (can't think of their real names) Gordon and Rachel, as well as Caine and Freeman fits so well.
When I heard about this Oscar stuff with Ledger the cynical side of me thought "whatever, dead guy, sympathy vote, etc" but frankly if his performance isn't recognised, it would be a travesty.
Favourite scenes include when the Joker introduces himself to the mob and he's like "let me show you a magic trick", the "why so serious?" scene, the whole sequence in the interrogation part and the scene with Two Face in the gangsters car.
I will dare say that's the finest movie that's been released in a long time. Excellent - don't know how they could possibly follow it.
