Torrent: Get off you’re fucking arse and go see it.

Plot: With just one year passed after taking out Ra’s Al Ghul’s plan to have Gotham eliminated and the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Jonathan Crane AKA the Scarecrow, after the city was nearly plundered with his toxins, Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter-ego the Batman, continue the seemingly-endless effort to bring order to Gotham, with the help of Lt. James Gordon and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent, but a new threat has now emerged into the streets. The Dark Knight faces a rising psychopathic criminal called The Joker, who’s eerie grin, laughter, and inhuman morality makes him more dangerous than what he has yet to unleash. It becomes an agenda to the Batman to stop the mysterious Joker at all cost, knowing that the both of them are in the opposite line. One with no method at all and seeks to see the world plunge into the fire he has yet to lit. One who represents the symbol of hope and uses his own shadow to bring the peace and order he has yet to accomplish on doing.

Review: A lot of hype went into this with it being the last full feature Heath Ledger acted in before his death, rightly so it was one hell of a movie. While Heath Ledger is tipped to get the promesthus oscar award and should get it. He would still be in contention for an Oscar if he hadn’t have died, he was simply fucking terrifying in the movie. He makes Hannibal look like Eddie Murphy in Dr Dolittle.
The movie is a lengthy one, touching over the 2 hours mark, but it doesn’t drag out and bore you to tears. The plot stays solid with plenty of action, there were a few scenes which pushed into that bullshit era with Kilmer and Clooney to root up the old movies and make them look like something from the Nickelodeon channel, but I got over that quickly.
It’s dark, full of action, solid actors and plot so you should enjoy it. Go out and see it, as a fan of dark/gothic movies (but not shit B grade ones) I liked this a lot. They also venture out of Gotham City overseas for some shooting of the film.

Rating:
5/5
