Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Upcoming Releases
UPDATE: You can find additional reviews from Rolling Stone and The Associated Press here.
Although we still have 3 weeks to go until the premiere of The Dark Knight, Ain’t It Cool News already has an early review of the highly-anticipated sequel.
Here are a few of the highlights from the (spoiler-free) critique:
“The film feels more like a crime drama in a grand city scape than a typical comic book movie.”
“Christian Bale owns this role. He is Bruce Wayne and he is Batman.”
“Heath Ledger’s performance of the Joker is truly one for the books. A man of no remorse or morals who simply wants to see things burn.”

The Dark Knight rolls into theaters on July 18.
