Synopsis: As the Dark Knight can’t work out whether he’s actually any good for Gotham city the Joker runs a riot blowing things up for fun, stuck in the middle of all this is Harvey Dent, the man seen as the white light of Gotham city who tries to put away the bad guys without the use of a mask. As things take a turn of events batman must choose what is right for Gotham and put his previous relationships behind him.
This is a very entertaining sequel and compared to the first segment by Christopher Nolan I would personally say its better. A striking performance by the late Heath Ledger that shows more of a dark side from the joker compared to others that have played this part in the past, with Christian Bale still pulling off the two personalities of Bruce Wayne and the Batman I wonder how he doesn't get a sore throat from that husky voice he puts on. From other reviews I’ve read some say it glorifies terrorism but I believe that the message being put across through the characters is that there’s one side of us that follows rules (Batman), the other side that doesn’t (Joker) and that all this chaos and redemption happens by one single difference, chance (Harvey Dent). It can be easy to lose the plot due to the brilliant action scenes but as far as action films go this is top notch; this is definitely a film that if you watched it first time on DVD you would regret not seeing it in the cinema. I don’t think it should of been a 12A though because of the use of knives in the film and especially what is going on with the knife crime of today but if you know your child is level headed then certainly one to take him/her to see.
Worth seeing in the cinema: YES
Worth buying on DVD: YES (The extras will be great)
