The Dark Knight

Plot:

With just one year having passed after taking out Ra's Al Ghul's plan to have Gotham eliminated and the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Jonathan Crane AKA the Scarecrow, and after the city was nearly plundered with his toxins, Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter-ego the Batman, continue the seemingly endless effort to bring order to Gotham, with the help of Lt. James Gordon and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent. But a new threat has now emerged into the streets. The Dark Knight faces a rising psychopathic criminal called The Joker, whose eerie grin, laughter, and inhuman morality makes him as dangerous than what he has yet to unleash. It becomes an agenda to Batman to stop the mysterious Joker at all costs, knowing that both of them are in an opposite line. One has no method at all and seeks to see the world plunge into the fire he has yet to light. One represents the symbol of hope and uses his own shadow to bring the peace and order he has yet to accomplish doing

Review:

aka 'The best movie of the summer and if you don't see it I'll drive to your home and knee you in the groin'

By far the best movie of the summer. Has all the same good stuff you seen in the first one (Batman Begins) and adds so much more. All the hype you hear about Heath Ledger's Joker being Oscar worthy is true. He steals the show and owns ever scene he's in. Even if you don't like Batman, its worth it to check out his performance.

Action sequences are top notch and when you got a great cast of actors and a story that rolls its hard to mess it up. Makes me scratch my head at Indiana Jones again... Rolling Eyes

The only thing I can say against it is that is runs a little long.

Rating: 5/5
