Movie Review Summary

A delightful film to watch that refreshes the Batman series. Look gone are the corny types of Batman film, replaced instead by this serious, dark take on the films instead. Batman Begins film has successfully built up the ground work to allow the quality of this film.

There’s an all star cast and they don’t fail to disappoint. Christian Bale as the troubled Bruce Wayne is spot on, although I’m not sure about his husky Batman voice, it feels a bit fake. The performance by Aaron Eckhart is so good it makes you wonder if Batman will become redundant, so believable is what he is doing and his faith in himself as being a ‘white knight’ in Gotham.

Heath Ledger won a posthumous Academy Award Oscar for his take of the Joker and that was right, his portrayal of the character surpassed that of Jack Nicholson’s, which was a tough job.
