TOTALLY worth it

Everything is exactly as spectacular as I have come to expect it to be. It was an emotional roller coaster and I knew it would be. My one note of complaint is that I felt that the deaths of pivotal characters were not given sufficient attention. There are also several characters whose fate is left in the balance. I can't remember if that was addressed in the book either, so need to go back and reread yet again. All in all, it was worth every blessed penny for the 3-D show. Can't wait to see it again!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

An all-star cast turned in stellar performances for this best-in-series Batman film. Christian Bale made a wonderful, likeable, human Batman, and Heath Ledger may well be awarded a well-deserved posthumous Oscar for his spectacular and mesmerizing portrayal of the insane genius of the Joker. Gary Oldman, the steadfast Gordon, is the most versatile actor I've ever seen on stage or screen. This is not a flamboyant role (Zorg), or a lethal one (Dracula), or a dreamy one (Rev. Dimmesdale), but a methodical, plotted, scheming part of a masterfully-built film. Oldman never turns in less than his best. In nearly three hours I never once so much as wondered what time it was. The SFX were unparalleled and I could HAPPILY have sat through another full hour without getting restless, which is unheard of for me. The plot twists back on itself more times than a medieval labyrinth and there are more than a few results you just NEVER saw coming. When you think you know what's going on...think again. I don't watch movies twice in the theater, with two exceptions: ET and Titanic. Well, let's make that three exceptions....
Yes, I recommend this movie.
