Strengths: Christian Bale playing The Dark Knight for the second time has played his part with perfection as the batman making a tough call between ‘die as a Hero’ or ‘live with a tag of a law breaker’. Bale fulfills all the requirements of the character of Bruce Wayne aka Batman. The love triangle between Bruce Wayne, Rachel Dawes (Gorgeous Maggie Gyllenhaal) and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) adds a variety to the movie. Morgan freeman as scientist Lucius and Michael Caine in the role of butler Alfred are just too good. All the actors have played their part quite decently but Heath Ledger is definitely the show stealer. He plays ‘the Joker’ in an extraordinary way and I must admit the comparison with Jack Nicholson has brought the best out of him. The movie is a perfect farewell to this amazing actor.

The direction work of Christopher Nolan is just too brilliant and the settings of Gotham City are absolutely dazzling. The action sequences are incredibly superb; especially those action scenes shot in IMAX format are just mind blowing. The movie is definitely going to be the biggest blockbuster of 2008.

Flaws: Well! Being a critic, I have to find some flaws in the Movie and here I would say that the length of the movie is 2hrs and 33 minutes, which is a bit long. Also the children below 13 are not allowed to watch this movie because it is a bit scary as well as violent, so, on behalf of those children I would say that children must never be deprived to watch the most loved comic character.

My ratings for the movie **** i.e. Four Stars out of Five.

Being very frank, the Movie is flawless and I just loved it. Do I need to say more!
