The Dark Knight. One of the darkest movie this year. By the time I write this post, its already achieved the biggest box office this year.

Joker is the main villain in this movie. He’s not a clown and he doesn’t make any jokes. He is very cool, confusing, tricky, opportunist and smart. He’s really good in playing with people’s mind and emotion. A good psychologist! That’s why Batman feel guilty and wanted to turn in. The make up on his face really shows that he’s a scary guy. Why so serious?

Next is Harvey Dent (Two Face). So poor because he died too early. But I like the two-face CG effect as he’s got burnt on his face. Pretty scary to watch his eye ball popping out like that. I enjoy watching the development of his character.

I’m going to give few awards for Batman. First of all, I love his suit. The suit was better than the last Batman Forever. His mask has a flexible collar which allow him to turn his head. Earlier, the firm and solid design requires him to turn his body if he wanted to look around

Next award goes to the Batmobile a.k.a The Tumbler which transform into a motorcycle. Its pretty cool to see how it transform. Yeah, the earlier Batman ejects some Batmobile parts to go through an alley.

What’s next? Batman has better choreography. He doesn’t relies much on his gadgets. The best innovation is the sonar technology that he used when looking for Joker in the building.

However, there are some drawbacks in this movie. I would say it was quite long, 155 minutes. I thought the story will be end for good, but there’s more and that was a nice surprise element.

I’ve read a review on newspaper which suggest that this movie was rated 12A overseas. Malaysia’s give it a ‘U’ which is for general viewing. How come such brutality can be consider for public audience?

I’m sorry for such review. I’m have been inspired by all the graphics, design and technology in this movie. I enjoy watching this movie and I’m giving it 4.5 stars.
