First day. first show. usually am not that excitable but I always thought Christopher Nolan was too good. But little did I know this was his best ever, probably 10 times better than the second best, probably twice as better as any movie I ve ever seen.
I purposefully delayed the review by about 30 hours to see if the hysteria inside me would subside and I would write a less -droolin all over- review, but I guess this is how I would excited I would be even when I tell my grandson that I was there for the first ever show of this masterpiece.
What makes the movie work is the fact that it doesnt depend on its graphics and breathtaking action scenes and more on its plot and drama. This is where it breaks the stereotype of a standard comic book movie like a superman or a spiderman or the earlier batman movies.
Its also commendable that the joker and the DA are given equal importance as the batman which is very rare in this genre. And its a welcome break that movie relies on its action and story instead of swearing and the f-word to get cheap applause from the audience.
Heath ledger, makes sure you wanna cry about losing a one-of-a-kind actor probably the best villain performance of all time. As Caine puts it "if heath dusn get the oscar, i sure want to see the performace which beat him to it". Caine(alfred) , Freeman(Fox) and Oldman(Gordon), the seasoned actors they are need no special mention.
Bale, oh he does a great job of the Batman who is in an ethical dilemna, and carries the dual role with aplomb. Ekhart carries out the transformation from DA to two face awesomely and you do love the DA hate the two-face and feel sorry for the transformation.
gylenhaal plays batmans love interest and it was probably because they were short of money and couldnt get a real beauty to act, but apart from not being gorgeous she does do justice to her role.
The plots are nothing short of genius and the screenplay oh man..mind blowing, there were five different instances when the audience broke into spontaneous applause like as if in a Lords cricket match.
The car and bike ll make you go gaga, the acting will haunt you and the story ll make you stay in the movie long after the credits.
I got pretty attached to it seeing imdb everyday to track its performance literally praying to god every guy who goes to the movie likes it.
I dont want to see a movie that is better than this one.

Dude; I would usually write something sensible; but boy; was it AWESOME. AWESOME
disagree about gyllenhall, bale could have done better but the rest were mind-blowing.
ppl hav betrayed de godfather... thats de best , atleast according to me and i dont care bout ne motherfucker's motherfuckin opinion
why so serious? :-)
lol..this is what i was referring to..how ppl think using motherfucker is cool...
Movie was indeed fabulous.
Apart from the closing 15 mins probably. Its sort of evident that Nolan hasn't really been able to showcase two-face's villains-istic traits better.
May be thats cuz he hd to fit 2 villains in the movie somehow! :(
But, a top notch film nonetheless...
machan , its d greatest i have ever seen, one of the greatest, but the best action flick fer sure
Totally agree with you on most of what u've said.
Except the fact that this mught be the best u've ever seen.
Guess Shawshank would beat it. But not by much..
And I guess paucity of money would not have been the only reason for casting gyllenhall. Maybe, the fact that she wasnt drop dead gorgeous helped all of us to agree that "saving" Dent was more sensible : )
And I jus feel that Ledger's kinda getting a lil more acclaim than he shd probably coz he's no more...
