I went in expecting this to be one of the best comic book movies, and was still floored by its awesomeness. This has to be one of the top 3 movies I've seen in all my life, seriously. All the actors are at their prime, the story is written fantastically, and perfectly paced. The two and half hour running time intimidated me at first, but I was still wanting more when it ended. This is one of the first times I've seen a completely packed theater be perfectly quiet as we were all utterly captured by this great movie. I hope Christopher Nolan has a lot more in the works, but even then I'm hard pressed to imagine a movie better than this.
