DARK is the operative word for this film

Let me start by saying that I really enjoyed this movie. I don't believe that it was better than Batman Begins, but it was very good. There was quite a bit of the story that I believe was missed the first time seeing it as there were several large rabbit trails to the main plot. The performances were outstanding and Heath Ledger's Joker will no doubtingly go down in history as one of the best villain performances of all time. I'm not giving the movie 5 stars as I believe that the story could have been shaped up a bit more and I don't believe that it had nearly the "wow" factor that Batman Begins had. Parents, please keep in mind that this movie is borderline on the "R" rating due to the very dark and demented character of Joker. I would only recommend this film to persons that I believe could handle the slasher style violence in the movie. Otherwise, if you are in to comic book films or action films, this movie will not disappoint.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Potential, Bad Execution

The first 45 minutes of the movie was very interesting and appeared to be a great setup for the rest of the movie. Then, it "jumped the shark". The plot was set up and then it just went off the deep end. The characters were VERY underdeveloped in lieu of special effects. There was no chemistry between the main characters, unlike Raiders. Quite a few "homage's" to the series which were enjoyed. The climax and ending were disappointing. This movie was just 10 years too late and should have gone through a whole lot of screenplay revisions in order to make this a great movie. I was really disappointed as I had high hopes based on the last Indy film. Too bad.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Best comic book movie since Spidy1 & Batman Begins

Went in with high hopes that this would be a great movie. I was not disappointed at all! Plot was developed well; pacing was very good (kept my attention the entire 2 hrs 6 min); excellent special effects; great casting and performances. This movie is not for little kids, but older kids (around 12? & up) should be able to handle without any problems (violence, blood, & some adult elements). I never read the comic as a kid, but seeing this movie makes me want to go back and read it now. I'll definitely see this one again at the theaters.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
