The best Batman movie ever!!! Well, to me it was.. But from the applause inside the cineplex was a guide to go for, I was not the only one who thought The Dark Knight was THE summer's block buster movie. I was able to convince Mrs. SandMan and the entourage (Luq and Azmi) to catch the sneak show on Wednesday, 16th July at the Q-Lap Mall. Obviously we were not the only ones who had the idea to catch the movie before it opened. Anyways, back to the movie. Where was I? Oh yes... It was Awesome!!! Though 2 and 1/2 hrs long, the minute hand ticked faster than usual. All of us were engulfed with the story line and we wanted more. The cast ensemble was brilliant to say the least. Christian Bale played Batman to perfection. Other 'supporting' actors were non the less excellent in their portrayal of Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Lucious Fox and Harvey Dent respectively. But Heath Ledger's take on the Joker was to die for. Jack Nicholson's Joker in Tim Burton's Batman was good, but this time around the Joker took no prisoners. He was a psychotic anarchist serial killer with a weird sense of humour. Weird being the understatement of the year. As Alfred put it best... "Some people just want to watch the world burn". It is just a sad lost that Heath Ledger is no longer with us. Words are buzzing that the 'people' are considering Heath's performance as the Joker for an Oscar nod. I say, "Give it to him". He deserves it. A 10/10 for The Dark Knight... Guys, dont even think of missing this one...
