Movies with Colleagues "The Dark Knight "

Rating: PG
Language: English
Director: Christopher Nolan
Cast: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman
Runtime: 153 mins

The follow-up to the action hit “Batman Begins," "The Dark Knight”reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime.

With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger (“Brokeback Mountain”) stars as arch-villain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays District Attorney Harvey Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast in the role of Rachel Dawes. Returning from “Batman Begins” are Gary Oldman as Lieutenant Jim Gordon; Oscar winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) as Alfred; and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) as Lucius Fox.

Watched this movie with Joanna, May, Nicholas & his wife, Jintao & his wife, Kaili & Junhui. Worth the money and time to watch but the cinema we went to was the one at Marina Square. The few of us, those with longer legs, ended up having slight cramps to kneecaps and backache. Hmmm.. Next time want to watch such a movie with a long runtime, must make sure we choose a cinema with good seating.

Overall rating : Great!!
