Yeah it probably does deserve a 10 but I wasn't in the right mood to watch it. Looking back, it is my perfect film. No slow start, constantly keeps your attention with so much action and suspense and they do it for 2 and a half hours!

I went to see the Dark Knight today - and now im gonna go all Barry Norman on its backside!

It was certainly a good film, and deffo the best summer blockbuster this years so far.

However, I dont think it was as good as the hype suggested. It was inevitable that with the hype it would never live up to that standards.

Good Points: -

- Some great action sequences. They were big and shot brilliantly.
- Visuals. Some of the scenes were mesmerising, espesh the hong kong scene. I almost developed a fear from heights just watching it.
- Joker. Now I know I said the hype of the movie meant that for me, the film was a let down. But the performance of Ledger was certainly NOT a let down. He was absolutely brilliant. He managed to be sadistic and scary while being loveable all at the same time.

Bad Points:-
- For me, the film was rushed. There were set-pieces after set-pieces. Some of the scenes seemed to just pile on more confusion on what was all going on as Nolan was clearly trying to ram as much into the movie as he could (he himself admitted that he doesnt know whether he will do a 3rd, hence he just concentrated on this film as an own entity and put as much into it as he could). Maybe if he let some scenes pan out, rather than keeping the constant soundtrack on, there would have been more character progression.
- One of the scenes were particularly silly. I wont say because I dont want to spoil it for those who havent seen it.

Overall, good film. Not great though. Batman Begins is, for me, the better movie.

Its certainly not going to go down as the best movie of all time, thats just silly.

It wasnt as much confusing, just a bit too rushed in my opinion. They could have toned some of the dialogue scenes down, while keeping some of the action scenes. Instead everything was like a 100 miles an hour, which kinda prevents some of the complexities of the characters from developing.

Personally, I dont think it is better than Lord of the Rings or Shawshank redemption. But I guess films are different to everyone.

I do like action movies. I love Die Hard 1, and I am like, in love with the Lord of the Rings, espesh their action sequences.

Also, I loved Batman Begins. My fave comic book movie.

dont read the book then, that had even less action

I have been a nerd and seen all three LOTR movies 2 times each!

Its not a film where your guessing what happens next like a thriller or anything. Its the whole scale and the adventure which is key in the story.

So with that in mind, yes it was worth seeing twice. I have to yet to see any action sequence/battle/fight in any movie ever better than the battle at Minas Tirith in Two Towers and the battle of Pelenoor fields in Return of the king.
