Do NOT bring children to see this

from Santa Monica, CA
Notwithstanding the late Heath Ledger's accomplished performance, this is a TERRIBLE movie. The dialogue is trite - particularly as overenunciated by Chistian Bale; the Joker's plot points are stolen directly from the SAW movies; and even the much ballyhooed production design is corny in places and will surely feel dated in very short order (unlike classic metropolitan dystopias like BLADE RUNNER). The 2.5 hour length was completely unnecessary - if I heard one more rambling oration on the duplicity of man and how there's a fine line between heroes and villains, I might just have walked out.
What I found most offensive, however, was that the MPAA found fit to give this barrage of torture and violence a PG-13 rating. That this was released with a PG-13 and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (Heath Ledger's previous great performance) was rated R demonstrates everything wrong with this country's warped values. There is nothing redeeming in THE DARK KNIGHT.

No, I do not recommend this movie.

6th best Pixar movie

Okay, so it wasn't as good as The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., or Toy Story, but let's be frank, Pixar sets the bar higher than any other company in the world so it's still a pretty great movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
