After seeing this movie, my mind is racing. The story is superb, as is every performance by each actor big and small. The characters are deep, real and engrossing. The subplots intertwine with the main story pulling you down stream in a current of emotion. A true modern day tragedy, you watch The Dark Knight redefine his limits to truly be the protector of Gotham. Before you walk into this movie, you think you know all about the Joker. It's not until leaving the theater, after watching Heath Ledger's portrayal, do you understand how macabre and Brilliant the Joker really is. The tragedy smears from the big screen into real life with the loss of Ledger. This movie is truly Haunting. Not to sound cliche', but this is one of the best movies I've ever watched! YOU MUST SEE IT!
