The Dark Knight 8/10

The Dark Knight, first off it's way too long* (but then again what's new these days? everything is too long), in some ways it's a strangely cold and detatched film... but...still worth watching. Heath Ledger is very good, creepy, deranged and violent, but Christian Bale looks almost out of place, oddly he's side-lined in a Batman film. However there's some great set pieces, especially a chase sequence with the Joker in a large lorry (all bike riders will want the Bat-bike pronto).

One side note, this is a 12A film, so it's not a kids film, so you'd have to be a complete moron to want to bring your very young kids along to it (as some did today, it makes you wonder what a 4 year old would have thought of it). Let's put it another way, it's called the 'the Dark' Knight...you know...Dark, in tone, as in Violent with a vein of sadistic humour. Oh and one last thing, the film is very loud...that's VERY LOUD! so mind those ear drums down at the front :)

Worth watching though and still recommended, even though I'm no comic-book film fan

*Take my word for it your bladder will soon tell you this (actually make that it'll be 'screaming it'...you have been warned). At the Screening I went to the toilet looked like Glastonbury's finest after the film ended...splosh!
