This movie lives up to the hype, it's undoubtfully the best of the summer. More breathtaking action sequences, similar to those in Batman Begins, but also new and fresh. Shaky hand-held footage when the Joker's involved. Intriguing characters both familiar and new. Heath Ledger's Joker is the best I've ever seen. He's crazy in a scary terrorist-like way, and only humorous a bit, so he seems real and not an over-acted sideshow. I liked their believable explanation of Joker's scars and make-up, it's gut-wrenching, quick and without laborious backstory. I liked having Batman's home base come from the Wayne Enterprises Building this time to give us a break from the mansion/batcave. I also liked Batman having other forms of transportation in addition to the batmobile. Cool new gadgets. Special effects and music score are not exaggerated but just right! The film is a bit long, but it's a fast-paced good story. Well worth the wait, money and time...WOW!!! Fans will want to see this more than once!
It was great, it was fun! Lots of new action sequences, subtle CGI, and globe-trotting. Most impressive was Harrison Ford's ability to jump right back into his Indy character - and the dude is still buff and agile even at age 65. He was awesome! The sci-fi artifact wasn't his strongest in comparison to the ark of the covenant or the cup of Christ... and the end scene was too domestic - should've been cooler. But overall another good addition to the Indy legacy!
