The Dark Knight





Come 18th July and movie lovers are in for a treat. The Dark Knight - the much awaited sequel of Barman Begins will finally release. Many reasons exist as to why people are so excited about the movie.
One, it is being directed by Christopher Nolan, the man who revived and resurrected the Batman franchise with his brilliant interpretation of Batman in Batman Begins.


Secondly, Christian Bale is at the helm of affairs as The Batman. His restrained effort has been applauded by one and all. The Batman movies prior to Batman Begins were really shoddy and stupid. Even Spiderman seemed better than Batman ;)
But Christian Bale gave the role the kind of stature that Toby Maguire's Spiderman can never reach. [I like Spiderman too but Spidey 3 was a pathetic sequel]


Thirdly, Aaron Eckhart enters the Batman franchise as Harvey Dent. Who later on becomes the supervillain Two Face. This one is a superb casting move. Those of you who aren't aware of Aaron Eckhart should watch Thank You For Smoking.

Lastly, the late Heath Ledger, in his last complete role; as The Joker. One look at the trailer and you know he's done a better job than what all the hype says. Heath Ledger's look is completely insane, just what the role required. The Joker will in all probability go down in history as one of the best villains ever.

I am really looking forward to this movie, which releases on July 18th.

Hope so movie will be as good as trailer.
Batman series initially were boring, but this seems to be good one.
Let see if they have learned some thing from spiderman 3 ;)
