binidjWhen I heard that Heath Ledger had died I was a bit "Meh, he was an ok actor and I suppose some people thought him pretty but really I can't see what the fuss is about." Having returned from watching Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight I am now mourning the passing of someone who could have been one of the great actors of our time.
The film is superb, it's superb on a lot of levels but gods it's dark ... really dark. Sure there are toys but they aren't the focus of the piece, however nicely they may have been done. The focus here is on story, Big Themes and story.
Some films you should go to see at the cinema because a smaller screen wouldn't do justice to the big effects scenes. This film you should go and see at the cinema to encourage studios to make more films of this quality.
It's two and a half hours long so go to the loo before you go in, but you really should go in ... because it's worth it, every minute of it.
