I had high expectations for this movie. Like a lot of movies there was a lot of hype. That can sometimes ruin a movie, however The Dark Knight lived up to it all. It was fantastic! This is one of the best comic book movies (from DC) I have ever seen. Even though it was a bit long, I would have been very disappointed if they didn't include everything that was in it. I was very impressed and if it wasn't sold out tonight, I would go see it again (and try to get better seats). Also, we are visiting Chicago right now, so there was no better place to see this movie. The people was thrilled and could not wait to see their city as part of such a huge (record-breaking) movie. We saw the 10:15 pm show opening night, got there about 45 minutes early and still had to sit on the 3rd row from the front (we were only 2 people).
