Well well well the Batman series finally comes of age. If Batman Begins made you feel that finally you got to see Batman the right way, you will get more than your money's worth with The Dark Knight.There has been a lot of hype for this movie- Heath Ledger as Joker ( in probably one of his last ever movies as he's no more) , return of Christian Bale as Batman and people like Michael Caine & Morgan Freeman to boot- so now that the movie has released , whats the verdict?
Well its loud & clear - this one is a delight for both the masses and the critics.The movie picks up a year or so after Batman Begins ends.Bruce Wayne has now shifted to a penthouse as the Wayne Mansion was razed down earlier. Batman continues to aid the police especially in liasion with Lt.Gordon ( Gary Oldman) , but hey there's a new hero for Gotham City- the D.A- Harvey Dent ( Aaron Eckhart) who is trying to clean up the city.
While Dent is going strongly in his mission to rid Gotham City of crime, enters the Joker who tries to take over the city. Dent is also now romancing Rachel ( Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes) , Bruce Wayne's love interest. Now Batman begins to feel that he needs to step over and make way for a new hero- Dent. But as luck would have it the Joker's entry changes the complete scenario.
I would not want to divulge the plot further for those who haven't seen it.Yes but I must admit that in a movie where Heath ledger is simply mindblowing and where the other villain two- face gets a meaty role, Christian Bale shines as Batman. I think the entire BG score of the movie suits the mood.As for the gadgets- watch out for the Batmobile and especially the Batpod- vroom!!!
All in all , a lovely piece of work. Mr.Christopher Nolan, take a bow. I'm gonna watch the movie again for sure.
Rating- 4/5
