I thought it was a good movie. Heath Ledger did an incredible job. He brought the Joker's twisted nature straight out of the comic book. As for the other villians I feel they were abit rushed just like Spiderman 3. Maggie J. wasn't the best choice of Rachel Dawson. Before I drag this review on, I'm a bit of a comic nerd... Go see the movie and enjoy
Be prepared for a long movie

Very attention grabbing... usually movies have a hard time holding my attention, especially if they are 2 and a half hours. My only improvement would have been if they had given Christian Bale a larger part as Bruce Wayne... mostly he has in as Batman, and he didn't get as much of a chance to show off his acting ability as he should have.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Whew! The tension of Dark Knight was at an high level the whole 2.5 hours. It was mentally exhausting with all the twists and turns but in a wonderful way. Heath Ledger did an excellent job, the Joker was a terrifying sociopath psychopath.

One of the best movies *ever*, 'TDK' is simply packed with action, awesome dialog and intrigue from start to end. The 2.5 hours of movie-watching goes by way too fast, it's that great.
Heath Ledger - "wow". Talk about ending on a high note. He'll go down in movie history as one of the most memorable villains, if not *the* most.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I saw Iron Man earlier this year and thought that was the best Super Hero movie I'd seen. Well, now that is second best, as Dark Knight is not only the best genre based movie I've seen, it's up there with the best movies I've ever seen in any genre.
It's a real shame Heath Ledger died as this was the pinnacle performance of his career and an Oscar is much deserved.
I never liked the first run on Batman movies, but with Batman Begins and now the incredible Dark Knight, having to rethink my favorite Super Hero!
I look forward to seeing this movie again, and again.... rare for me!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Perfect Summer Must See,Definitely. I would have given this movie ten stars!!!
If you saw Iron Man and I. Hulk, you have to see Dark Knight. Don't be foolish and pass up on this one. Good date or hanging out with friends movie! This is the best Batman movie ever! In comparison to the other Batman movies in the past, they all look like a joke. This is the real deal. Also, Heath Ledger did his thing as "'The Joker"- - - Fantastic!!!

Absolutely amazing, in just about every sense of the word. I've never watched a movie with such amazing feats that depicted them so realistically. Not only did Gotham City look real (probably due to the large amount of scenes actually shot in Chicago), but the action itself felt real almost all the time. Then there's Heath Ledger. Words cannot describe my the sadness I feel whenever I think that he won't be in the next installment in the series. The part of the Joker has never been played so well, and probably never will be again. The sounds of his manic laughter are still echoing in my head...I could go on for hours and hours, but suffice to say that Heath Ledger is amazing, as is the movie. Bale, Caine, Freeman, and Eckhart all play their parts amazingly well, and the movie itself was brilliantly written. There's really nothing bad I have to say about it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It was the best Batman ever! It literally kept me on the edge of my seat. Although it was 2:30 hrs, it didnt seem that long at all. The ending was awesome. The acting was incredible. The only person I didnt really care for was Racheal. They should have brought Katie Holmes back for the role. Overall...AWESOME!! I give it 5 star

In one short day, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight has already replaced The Godfather as IMDb's best movies, as rated by frequent users. I haven't been surfing IMDb for very long (only a couple of years), but I have never seen any movie take the number one spot (LOTR 3 only made it to number 2, and is down to number 14 now). So does this movie live up to it's hype?
The critical hype, yes. The IMDb hype, no. I would not put this movie as number one, nor in my top 10, though I could reserve a spot in my top 50. But let's not start out on a negative note, for The Dark Knight is truly one of the great masterpieces of cinema this year, and the first movie to really prove to me that this could be a great year for movies.
The story is massive, with so many intertwining storylines that you have to admire Nolan for holding it all together and making it make sense on one viewing. Essentially, The Joker (Heath Ledger) rallies the mob to strike back against Batman (Christian Bale), while a new District Attorney (Aaron Eckhart) crusades to clean up the streets and offers Batman a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe he won't have to continue doing this much longer.
Those who are fans of Batman know Dent's fate, but that still doesn't make the transition to Two-Face any easier for us. Eckhart quickly goes from being the White Knight to a twisted, broken soul bent on revenge against everyone. Gone is the stupid purple make-up that inhabited Tommy Lee Jones' face in Batman Forever, replaced by black charred skin, a gaping cheek, and an eye that roles in it's socket.
But really, this movie is all Ledger's. As the Joker, he is terrifying, yet funny, and crudely sets up a number of perilous situations for Batman, Dent, Rachel Dawes (replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal) and the citizens of Gotham. Introduced in one of the coldest and most effective bank heists in history, he immediately establishes himself as one of the great villains of the film, and of all film history.
And it's not just the puzzles he establishes that make him threatening, it's also his whole demeanor. The Joker seems impervious to pain, a masochist and sadist relishing in all the damage he is inflicted and that he inflicts upon others. His tongue continuously darts in and out of his mouth, as if he's licking his chops for the next bit of chaos he is about to cause. But what makes him so twisted is how he cackles throughout everything he does, acting without a hint of remorse to what he is doing.
Probably the saddest thing about this movie is Ledger's death. I'm not really giving anything away when I say the Joker is allowed to live at the end. He is the iconic Batman villain, like Lex Luthor to Superman or Magneto to the X-Men. He points out an interesting paradox to Batman late in the film: Batman won't kill him because it's against his principles, and the Joker won't kill him because, well, Batman's too much fun. More would have happened in the third movie, but we won't get that now, because sadly Ledger has passed on, and it would be a crime to recast the role, no matter how great the actor.
Really, you don't think much about Christian Bale or Michael Caine or Maggie Gyllenhaal when you remember this movie: you focus on the villains: The Joker, a twisted maniacal person who causes chaos with no rhyme or reason, only because he can. And Two-Face, who starts with the best intentions, and ends scarred and broken by the Jokers plans.
And Batman makes a crucial decision at the end that changes everything. Really, there could be no other way, and again, kudos the Chris and Jonathan Nolan for constructing such a tight screenplay. Everything that happens makes sense, and the choices that characters must make ring with a truth of the consequences.
Now all I can hope for is that this movie doesn't follow the trend of Spider-Man to the end. So far it has: a solid first film that established (or reestablished) the franchise, and a second film that redefined the standards for comic book movies. The Nolans are smart enough filmmakers that they shouldn't go down this path, but I trusted Sam Raimi too.
A final note: this movie is already setting a number of records. It set the record for midnight release ($18.5 million), beating Revenge of the Sith ($16.5 million) and set the opening day record ($66.4 million), beating Spider-Man 3 ($59.8 million). Now all this movie has to do is break the weekend record, set by Spider-Man 3 ($151.1 million). And the difference between this movie and every other movie that's come out this year: I want to see it again, right now.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
