The Dark Knight


Before we flew back we went to see a 10.00 am screening of The Dark Knight... Believe the hype... Heath Ledger's performance is astonishing, I have never seen anything so menacing in a film rated PG and it is difficult to think of anything in any film beyond Jack Nicholson in the Shining or the Haunted Forest in Snow White. But he is not alone, Christian Bale is perfect, Gary Oldman makes a grand Commissioner Gordon, Aaron Ekhart is a wonderful Harvey Dent (that name might ring a couple of bells for Batman aficionados) and Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are delightful. The film is long, a bit too long and becomes less taught in the last 40 minutes but that is a cavil... A morning in San Francisco well spent.
