Reviewer: A movie Reviewer for Odeon.

The best batman film i have seen. I am no batman fan but do love action and spiderman. This is better then spiderman!
The plot is thick as it could get and you have to be really listening and have a great concentration for this movie. Im not sure it would suit younger children, simply because they will get bored.
Its also slightly boring in places with scenes that could have been cut.
But when this film is good its bloddy amazing! The action is great, i found 2hrs 25 went quick and didnt feel like 2hrs 25, that is a long time and this film didnt feel it!!!
The late Heath Ledger is great as the joker, this one is more scary and real. The best joker i have seen. In fact you find yourself looking for the joker throughout the film, there never seems to be enough of him. Tho batman is also very very good.
If you love long action films and can concentrate and appreciate this movie then it is truly great.
At the end of the film all i could think of was im never going to see this version of the joker played again! Its a sad thought he was great!

This movie is clearly very well done!
Action scenes are intense and could be too intense for very young children and possibly too long for young children!
Scenes with the Joker are FANTASTIC
scenes with out the joker are good/very good!
thats how good the joker is, and its purely the character that is so dark, funny and interesting! it is a great super hero movie better then spiderman etc. so if you liked spider man etc see this!! its worth the long ride! but entertaining ride thats so well made and makes it well deserved to be the most successful of 2008 as many have said!
