Couple of weeks released, the sequel to the movie Batman Begins. The producers created a lot of hype around the movie, drawing more than the usual crowd for the movie.
Within the first weekend, it broke the record for highest earning over a weekend beating Spiderman 3. On IMDB it has shot up to Number 1 beating greats like The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, Schiedlers’ List.
What makes the movie so special ?
1. Hats off to Christopher Nolan (Director) creating one of the most twisted villain of all times. The Joker, enacted by Heath Ledger is literally twisted and a true pyscho who challenging Our Dark Knight to raise his bar each time.
2. The movie finds a balance between, character development with power dialogues and the power-packed action sequences. This surely helps cater to a very wide audience.
3. One of the most important, things i felt that makes the movie great is the minimal use graphics/animations. Yes, most of the action sequences are done in the old-style with real stuntmen.
4. Most importantly, strong screenplay.
5. Also the all-star ensemble, esp Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman (both great veterans actors) that add a touch of humor and very valuable advice to our Caped Crusader.
Bottom Line: I am ready to see it again!

Ah… a fellow list writer.
I agree with all your points except the first. I’m continuing to stick by my argument that Ledger’s Joker was good, not great . Upon rewatching the original Batman, I will give Ledger the credit for the better Joker, but still not buying the Oscar hype.
it was at an imax near us… truly amazing
