The Dark Knight

Batman series has made a fortunate make over since Batman Begins. The movie just turned into much darker, serious and of course with quality. With such a good re-introduction to Batman series, of course, there will be high expectation to the sequel "The Dark Knight".

The Dark Knight has been heavily marketed as highly anticipated summer blockbuster. Well, it certainly surpasses the previous Batman movies, and live up to the expectation. All the story, action, acting, music is great.

The story just grows darker than previous one. The Gotham city is hammered again with deathly crime by psychotic bank robber, Joker, force Batman, James Gordon and new attorney, Harvey Dent, to take serious action. Christian Bale is still the best Batman so far and Aaron Eckhart has a very good transition from Harvey Dent to Two-Face, although his later character felt too short and rush, and the one that truly shines throughout the movie is Joker, played by the late, Heath Ledger. Not sure if it is caused by his misfortune death, every scene that involves his appearance felt very strong. One of the best villain that is just simply wicked, evil with disturbed mind. According to wikipedia, Ledger really prepare well the character until he was eventually able to generate another voice for Joker. Well, how serious actor in hollywood to prepare one movie. It's very very sad that this will be his last completed movie. Well done, Mr. Heath Ledger. There's also one good-looking Asian man, that turns out to be Chin Han, a Singaporean actor.

Highly recommended. 4.5 of 5.
