Get in the line for The Dark Knight

After Nolan released Batman Begins in 2005, he now comes with The Dark Knight. A new Batman movie means a new villain. Yes, the Joker is going to entertain you this time. The Dark Knight proves that there are many Batman fans, some have impatiently waited for its release. Many trailers and posters kept the fans excited till the release of The Dark Knight. The wait is over for most countries (some still have to wait for a little while, like Japan, France and other countries). The Dark Knight got released here on the 24th of July.

As a Batman fan, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to see this movie on a big screen. I imagined the cinemas would be full on the first days, so I decided to wait a couple of days before watching the movie. Finally I went to The Dark Knight last night.

Oh no... there were many people waiting outside, probably all for the new Batman movie. The cinema was packed, many people standing in queues and I had to squeeze myself into the building as many people were making an attempt to leave the cinema after seeing The Dark Knight. To be honest, it was difficult to see who wanted to leave and who wanted to enter the building. Finally I got in the building, quickly queued in the line to get my ticket, lucky I made a reservation.

Christian Bale is still the caped crusader. Other cast members include Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Baine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman. Many people have praised Heath Ledger's version of the Joker. And Ledger indeed does a wonderful job, but lets not forget other actors' efforts. The movie is great and the 150 minutes quickly passed by for me.
