To say The Dark Knight is a great superhero movie is to undermine what it really is, which is a superb piece of filmmaking on its own. I am a comicbook/superhero junkie, so this film was a no-brainer for me, but for those lucky filmgoers whose lives do not revolve around comicbooks and superheroes, they are in for something special. This film is indeed the Godfather 2 of superhero movies, but more than that, it ranks up there with Heat, The Untouchables and the Departed, an outstanding crime drama that keeps the viewer on edge, always wanting more and always surprising them. Add to it the chance to see it larger than life in IMAX, I don't know why anyone would not enjoy this film. While Heath Ledger's performance will, at the very least, warrant an Oscar nomination (and hopefully win), the rest of the cast and their performances are so extraordinary that I wish they could bottle them all up and bring them back for (hopefully) a third Christopher Nolan Batman film. If you haven't see The Dark Knight, go see it, and if you have, go see it again. I did, and the second time around was just as good as the first, even better. :)
