from Destin, FL
From the beginning of the movie to the end, I sat in that darkened theatre with my mouth open wide. Here is the dark, intense Batman I've been waiting for. Here is the Joker in his maniacal and psychotic splendor that finally held me on the edge of my seat. Morals were being tested, action pushed to the brink, and I left a comic book based movie with questions. It's a movie that makes you think. It's a movie I didn't want to see end. At times, I didn't even feel like I was watching a movie.
They say that this movie has Oscar buzz all around it. Finally, a movie that I like that is getting these nominations! I was tempted when I got out of the theater to go back and buy another ticket to see it all over again and probably would have if I didn't need to be somewhere else. I'm an avid Batman (of the comics) fan and I was thrilled with duality of his personality. Christian Bale did an amazing job of telling us how much Bruce Wayne would love to pass the torch but his deep seated responsibility to clean the streets of Gotham because no one else will. You can see him slipping further and further away from Bruce Wayne and into the role of Batman which follows the comics so closely. You also see him struggle with his one rule...
Gary Oldman as Detective Gordon was brilliant as always. The one good cop in a city still corrupt and out for extra money for the pocket. And just how to explain the apparent relationship with a vigilante?
Maggie Gyllenhaal was amazing as Rachel Dawes. Sorry, Katie, but she took this character and made it totally her own and more.
Heath Ledger... What can I say? An amazing talent that was cut short. He's played so many different characters but this one performance was... I don't even have words. I was far beyond feeling just creeped out. You didn't see Heath Ledger on that screen. You saw a psychotic Joker that wants to prove just how messed up we can be.
I could go on forever... but, I think I will let you draw your own conclusions. Go see the movie.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
