Rated PG12 they have got to be kidding. I so wouldn’t let my kids go to see this. I was terrified of Heath Ledgers role as the Joker. It truly was far more violent than I was expecting. However, he did deliver on the role and came off brilliantly as an extreme and dangerous character. He managed to put his own fingerprint on this role taking it to another level from Jack Nicholsons previous take on it.
One thing to be incredibly thankful for is that they replaced Katie Holmes with Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes.
Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman all return to take up their previous characters. All are fabulous in continuing the efforts from the last movie, the story moving on from where it left off last time – Batman finally capturing the Scarecrow then facing the next villian, the Joker.
It is quite a long movie but at no point was I bored or wanting it to end. I won’t give any of it away as the twists and turns are great but pretty obvious. Go along for the ride and don’t overthink it. 4.5 out of 5.
