I was more than excited to see this movie, and though it did seem move a bit faster for my taste in a book adaptation, it definitely didn't disappoint. All the elements important to the book were there, and it had some great humor within the dialogue. I must suggest reading the book to understand some points. All in all, wonderful film. :)
The Dark Knight was everything people have been saying. It was big, it was beautiful, and yes, definitely worth every penny. The characters are engaging, and the late Heath Ledger's Joker is one of the best villains I've seen in a long time. The action sequences are phenomenal, with the suspense and twists of the plot helping the entire story progress to the point where I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat.. literally!
Possibly the best movie of the summer, if not the entire year.
