See it. Now.

This movie will, obviously, be the most talked about one of the summer, but in addition to that, not only did Ledger successfully live up to Nicholson's and Romero's mantles but created an almost entirely new character. It's terribly sad that he died much too soon, but he did leave behind a remarkable artifact of his talent in this film. Be prepared to be completely blown away by this movie and not to blink for two and a half hours. My only caution is that this is not typical comic book fare, and it would easily terrify many children (unlike Spiderman or Superman of late) because it is indeed a very, very dark adaptation.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I enjoyed this film a great deal, and the key word there is "enjoyed." This is a movie that may not have the sweeping scope of Raiders or Last Crusade, but it's an honestly fun movie, and that's no small thing. It packs in all the wild chase scenes and heroic daring-do you'd expect in an Indy film, and for those of us who remember Indy the first time around, it's like spending a couple hours with an old friend... an old friend who occasionally gets into massive mischief and mayhem. Definitely would recommend it, and in fact did to at dinner last night with about a dozen people. Go, have fun, and if you're still grinning hours later, don't be surprised. A movie that's fun, doesn't take itself too seriously, and has some wonderful special effects makes for a great summer film choice in my book, and this one fits the bill perfectly.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
