Let's put a smile on that face!


it was, truly a great performance of the ensemble cast. But I have to say that Heath outshone them all. Such depth and range in emotion, made me believe he was actually Joker, not an actor playing the Joker.

The darker spirited version of the masked vigilante of Gotham City continues, with new faces introduced into the storyline. It all seemed to be maybe too much for director Chris Nolan to carry out, but my my ... stand up sir. Good job, well done in leading the field.

Very few times sequels can be as good, or even better than the original. But in The Dark Knight, I'd say we have a smash, in fact the smash hit of summer '08. I just finished the opening show times in Penang. expected it to be packed, and it was. Been a while since i watched an opening night showm and this was well worth it.

The story, the great action sequences, stellar performances by Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart; who both outshone Christian Bale (and that is no easy feat), Gary Oldman, Maggie Gylenhall with support from Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman; the exciting premise of the third (and maybe fourth part) of this series of DC magic all in all makes for a damn good viewing.
Verdict you say? need i say more? 5 stars all the way.

And damn you naysayers. but i liked the movie.
Watch it.
