Not a movie a I would recommend taking a younger child to, read the warning when it says PG-13, that's what it literally means. The scenes with Two-Face and Joker are pretty intense. However, right before something gruesome happens, the camera pulls away so you don't see anything too bad.
However, all in all the movie was AMAZING. I'm not a professional movie critic, but this movie beat Iron Man by so much. It was wonderful, every part of the movie was intriguing. I absolutely loved Heath Ledger's performance, it is one of his best roles. It is sad that he passed away but he will always be remembered for every role he's done, including this one especially. Aaron Eckhart was wonderful as Harvey Dent/Two-Face as well, some people overlook his performance because of Heath Ledger creating the character known as Joker. And of course Christian Bale was PERFECT as Batman/Bruce Wayne.
Everything was enjoyable about this movie. I'm partial to the Joker because he is of course my favorite villain. But everything else was great! My favorite parts had to be when the Joker first came into the scene to talk to the thugs/criminals, and of course the fight scenes.
Everyone should go see this!! Whether you follow the comic books or not, it's one of my favorite movies now!
As someone who has never seen this movie before, I was able to follow the storyline rather well and was actually interested in watching the t.v. show because they brought up things from the past episodes in the introduction. I thoroughly enjoyed myself when I watched this and couldn't stop laughing at some parts. It's definitely a chick flick, so girls, please do not force your husbands/boyfriends/etc. to go see this unless they absolutely want to because it's not even a chick flick that a guy would possibly want to sit through. Like I said before, most guys that I saw when they came out of the theater did not have a smile on their face. But the girls on the other hand, did. So go see it, and it's definitely a movie to take some of your best friends to see.
