This film is simply awe-inspiring. Everything that was great about _Batman Begins_ is at least 10 times better in this movie, from Lieutenant (now Commissioner) Gordon's believability to Bruce Wayne to the new Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhall replaces Katie Holmes) and even some of Batman's new gadgets like the Batpod are just fun to watch and bring a great sense of nostalgia to the screen for anybody like myself who grew up watching Batman and playing with the action figures (and, though I hate to admit it, even wearing the Batman boxer shorts). Of course, what would a Batman film be without great villains, and this is where _The Dark Knight_ truly excels. Not only is Heath Ledger's Joker impersonation one of the best and most believable performances I have ever seen from any actor, but Echart's Two-Face persona was almost equally as impressive. I could go on and on about how great this movie is, such as when ______ happens and how shocking it is to see _____ die but I wouldn't want to ruin the experience for anybody who has yet to witness the masterpiece that is Chris Nolan's _The Dark Knight_. Plain and simple, GO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW, you'll thank me later!!!!!
