The story was great and surprising with another villain added (Two Face)...Cutting edge Technology in the story brings it all home with today's audience.
Christian Bale is one of the Best there is and the cast were all great, Gary Oldman can play any role...As always though The bad Guy stole the show (no pun intended) Heath who was a great actor to begin with made his BEST EVER Performance with the little smirks and smacking of his lips...Brilliant...

Wow, this movie is a stunner. It's not just an comic-book movie it's also a great crime drama. It's the best movie i've seen this year by far. Heath Ledger brings everything he's got to the table and them some, it's a performance for the ages. This movie is also very dark, not alot of good things happen. The 6 scenes shot in Imax format were unreal. I highly recommend seeing this in Imax over a regular theater so you can enjoy everything the film has to offer.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best batman movie ever. I had my doubts because i was not a huge fan of "batman begins", but this movie blew me away. The Joker is amazing, and so are all the other characters as well. Im sure i will see this movie again when it comes to my local theatre, and then will be buying it when it comes out on Blu-ray. Fantastic!!!

Simply put: the best movie I've ever seen. Heath Ledger's transformation into the joker is virtually real. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and through it all, it'll glue you to the edge of your seat from start to finish.
And as a side note, if possible, see it in IMAX.

All I can say is WOW! This was my first IMAX experience and I am glad I waited until a spectacular movie like this came out. This is how a comic book movie is supposed to be...dark and violent. All the actors did a fantastic job but Heath Ledger stole the show. Aaron Eckhart deserves a nod as well because of his performance. The character development and introduction was perfect and the build up until the climax of the movie was perfectly timed. Great twist. RIP Heath.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is excellent. Pure and simple. the acting is superb by all the actors. The action is tight and exciting. The humor is well timed and funny. Finally the Joker is a perfect villain. Heath Ledger performed so well as the psychopathic villain. He had everything down perfectly, the laugh, the voice, his posture and general attitude, perfect. This is possibly the best comic book movie ive ever seen but be prepared because this movie is slightly disturbing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Everything i wanted from this movie was there. Intelligent action sequences with great cinematography, haunting psychology of the Joker and humanity, and of course a good plot. The movie asked strong philosophical questions which sent your mind racing if the action wasn't enough to keep you on your toes (not likely). Got a bit long as it neared the end but not enough to change my opinion of it overall. Ready to go again. Oh, and IMAX was awesome.

Movie was phenomenal.
IMAX was incredible.
However, getting to the theater a 1/2 hour early with pre-bought tickets was not early enough.
My g/f and I had to sit really close and that was a bummer.
Theaters really shouldn't make seats that close; it's just silly.
I'll go to see it again in a couple of weeks when I can get a better seat.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Though I did like Batman begins, I found that The Dark Knight was a far superior movie. I found the story to be more solid. The performance of each actor was fantastic. I feel that with the death of Heath Ledger, some of the other acting will be over looked. Arron Eckhart did a fantastic job as Harvey Dent, and Maggie Gyllenhaal really made Rachel Dawes her own.
The movie was long (2 and a half hours), but in a rare event.. if it had been longer, I would have been okay with that.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Let me start with the fact that I am NOT a Heath Ledger fan, and I AM a Jack Nicholson fan. That being said, Heath out Jokers Jack by a country mile... His portrayal of the Joker is legendary... menacing, disturbing... all the things he should be. He makes tha movie very plausible, save a few of the technological gadgets. The movies only flaw is the fact that Maggie Gyllenhall does not possess the physical beauty to make 2 billionaire model type men chase her, but aside from that, the plot was great, and the action was better, the direction was great and the acting superb, especially Ledger. MUST SEE from me and I say to go the Imax to see it, you don't want to miss a morsel...

So, about a month go I found out that they were selling tickets for a 12:01am showing of TDK in IMAX theaters for last night/this morning. I went online and bought a ticket. About a week later, I went back to see if they had any tickets left for a friend who was curious. Nope, sold out. I haven't been to a midnight premiere in a long time, so yesterday I went to the theater's website to see if there was any information. Turns out that they also had a 3:30am showing in the IMAX that also was sold out. But the bigger news was that they also were showing TDK in all of the other 29 theaters at 12:01...and ALL of them were sold out! Holy Moola, Batman! There also was a 3:30am showing in one of the regular theaters, but it wasn't sold out as of yet. When I left the theater last night, there were so many people and cars there, that maybe they were showing it at 3:30 in ALL theaters. Wow!
Ok, so I got to the movieplex at 10:30. When I walked into the IMAX, it was 80-90% full already. Oh joy. It took me some time to find a seat, but I eventually found 1. How hard is it to find one seat, right? The time really dragged, and the people around me and I began making fun of the repetitive ads up on the screen and stuff. At 12:02, the previews started. There was a very brief teaser for the next Harry Potter...essentially just the title, the theme music, and a line of dialogue. It got great applause. Then they had the trailer for The Watchmen, which is a movie based upon the most acclaimed graphic novel of all time, written by Alan Moore. It's being made by the director of 300, and looks awesome. Then, TDK began.
Wow.
Just...wow.
There are at least 5 "Holy Crap" moments in this movie where you think to yourself, "Holy crap, what the Hell am I watching?" I mean that in a good way.
The movie starts, and it's relentless up until the end. I've never noticed a score that seemed so omnipresent and driving as in this movie. Even when it seems like maybe not much is happening, the score is driving, pushing you on, letting you know that, nope, it may not be time to take a breathe.
The writing is good, the acting is superb, and the directing was great.
And then there's the Joker.
What The Joker does in this movie is unlike anything I've ever seen. There are things that he does that are just mind boggling. The Joker is not just an "agent of chaos," he IS chaos. You have to wonder, why the heck would anyone live in Gotham City?
As for Heath... I was very affected by his passing. I didn't know him and had never met him, but I really enjoyed so many of his movies and I knew that his untimely passing would be a loss to fans of great movies and fans of this franchise. I also felt for his young daughter and loved ones. What he does in this movie is take what was written and portrays the character in such an interesting and truly unique way. This isn't Cesar Romero. This isn't Jack Nicholson. This isn't The Joker from Batman: The Animated Series/Justice League: Unlimited. This isn't even The Joker from the animated series, "The Batman" cartoon of the past few years. Nope, this is Hannibal Lecter if instead of becoming a doctor he had decided to become a criminal, and dropped acid everyday for 10 years while learning how to be the best there is. They say that genius and insanity are flipsides to the same coin in many cases. Well this Joker is the result of that coin being melted down and then recast into a knife blade.
There is some hype about Heath getting an Oscar nomination. Traditionally, actors who have died haven't done well with Oscar noms. Movies like TDK aren't taken seriously, either. I hope that this one changes all of that.
This movie is to comic book movies as The Godfather was to gangster movies. It is something so very different, and takes it to such a whole different level that it would be a shame if the writer, director, movie, and Heath weren't all given Oscar nominations. I'm not saying they should win, but at least recognize how truly amazing this film and Heath's role in it were.
I will say that the ending is a little bit of a let down in a way, because while I see why things go down the way they do, it doesn't mean that I have to like or agree with it. But even with that one small caveat, this movie is mind blowing.
Even if you're not a fan of "comic book" movies I would recommend this. Iron Man was great entertainment, and one of the best "comic book" movies ever made. The Dark Knight may be one of the best MOVIES ever made. Yes, it's based on comic book characters, and yes people are running around in masks and all of that. But, aren't ALL movies just actors "running around in masks" of one kind or another?
If you can see it in an IMAX, please do so. There are 20 minutes or so that were filmed with IMAX cameras, and seeing those scenes on an IMAX screen are awesome. You'll be glad you saw it, no matter where you see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
