review from buybluraymovies.com

even before the release of this movie, there have been tremendous amount of hype for both the movie and the late actor heath ledger. it's pretty rare for a movie to surpass the hype and meet the expectation. this movie does it without a sweat. mike nolan, director of batman begins, delivers a movie to remember. i think a lot of us have been eagerly waiting for the sequel to the batman begins. nolan has redeemed the batman franchise from the silliness that preceded it. nolan's take on batman is on par with if not better than tim burton's batman movies.

this is just not another superhero movie. it is a crime/thriller movie that stand on its own without being in gotham setting. as a crime story, it can stand on its own. the plot of crazy and chaotic criminal who has no regards for mobsters or cops trying to bring chaos to the city is fairly good. i think where it falters as crime/thriller is that joker has no desire for anything but chaos. thankfully, this is batman movie and we can truely accept joker burning the mountain of money as normal. i don't think there are many people left that has missed this movie in the theater. so, the plot summarization is not really necessary. instead, i'll just say this is not a simple ''''''blow em up'''''' type of movie.
