This movie was just a lot of fun, excitement from start to finish. though between the beginning and the climax did seem a little slow. The humor was great, the story was excellent, and it was just a ton of fun.
TDK is a fantastic thrill ride from star to finish. The late Ledger was brillant as the joker and though it's runtime is a little long a 2:30, there are very few points where the story seems to drag. That said, it is VERY dark for a PG-13 movie, and I'd strong caution parents due to the dark tones and graphic violence.
