Almost didn't see this based on the newspaper and entertainment magazine reviews. Don't listen to them! Listen to the "real" people who posted their reviews here instead! Keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time! I was afraid to go to the restroom thinking I would miss something and with most movies I don't care! Yes, it had some slower moments, but who wants to watch loud car chases for two hours. The one big car chase alone was well done and good enough! The slower moments were still full of drama and worked well with the rest of the film! Liam Neeson was awesome! Great twist ending! You'll enjoy this one!
I usually prefer movies in the romance and comedy genre, but "Dark Knight" was excellent! Ladies out there, do not let the fact that this in an action/comic book inspired flic deter you from seeing it. VERY intense, but in a good way. This movie held my attention from begining to end. There was not a moment of "filler" or "fluff". Every scene played an important part in telling the story. The acting was outstanding! Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker was amazing! This movie is a MUST SEE for everyone! Hope that it wins an Oscar for Best Picture. It certainly deserves it!
