As a typical movie fanatic, especially of the comic book to film genre, the dark knight was much much more than a comic book turn to film. It was pure terror seeing the late Mr. Heath Ledger portraying one of the most terrifying villains. Visions of his portayal still haunt me whenever I think of it. As for Chris Nolan, pure cinimatic genius. This has to be the only movie since Lord of the Rings that I've ever rated a perfect 10/10.
