The Dark Knight

Couldn't wait until today to go to the movies to see Batman, so I went yesterday at midnight with my girlfriend and I can say the movie was everything I expected...

As Siskel and Ebert, now Ebert and Roper say, and with Borat's help I can honestly say the movie is two thumbs way up!!!! Christopher nolan delivers another great Batman film, with that incredibly dark, grim tone which characterized the first one, excellent music, amazing scenes, effects, characters, etc...

Every actor does an amazing job at their role, Christian Bale, as usual, delivers a great performance as a confused Batman who isn't sure if his role as the dark protector of Gotham City... Michael Caine, as well does a great Alfred again, covering the father like figure of Bruce Wayne and Batman... Politician/Villian Harvey Dent is played by Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman does a superb job with commisioner Gordon, as well as Morgan Freeman with Lucius Fox, the only weird thing about the movie, which many considered to be an upgrade was the trade the producers did with Katie Holmes, replacing her with Maggie Gyllenhaal...

Now, to the really AMAZING performance... Heath Ledger, who passed away earlier this year due to confusion with some medicines he was taking, does an Incredible job playing Batman's worst nemesis, The Joker, even though people said it would be a really tough job to do considering Jack Nicholson almost immortalized the villian back in 89... Ledger delivers a more punk like, aggressive and insane Joker, with a real funny wit and a really weird voice which really fits the character, and I can honestly say he does a way better job than Nicholson... obviously we should consider that the tone of this movie is way darker, than the one back in 1989... I wouldn't be surprised if the academy gives him the oscar for best actor, at least he will be nominated for sure...

I urge you to go and see this movie as soon as you can, its an instant classic, greatly entertaining for the whole family.
