It is not an exaggeration to say that this film should be regarded as important as Citizen Kane and Raging Bull for artful exploration of its underlying theme, which is the difficulty of controlling evil chaos in our society without the occasional compromise of our principles. Keith Ledger steals the show with his disturbing, compelling and Oscar worthy portrayal of The Joker. There are, however several scenes which leave the audience less than satisfied. One particular important plot twist involving the Morgan Freeman character, where he takes a very active role, seems to come out of nowhere. This plot twist may have been saved if there were additional early setup allowing the audience to wonder what Bruce may be doing in the R&D Department. The very end of the movie was handled in an amateur fashion; with the sound so poorly mixed that the dialog is nearly lost. The reinventing and outright rejection of traditional Batman story lines is something which may come back to haunt this franchise, but the restyling of the story, replacing the campy aspects with more intellectual concepts may be enough to overcome any of the reinvention issues.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
