After seeing Batman Begins (over and over and over again) I realize that it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. My opinion of The Dark Knight is mixed. There is alot of movie packed into 152 minutes. And being a Christian Bale fan, I'm a little upset that there isn't more of him in this movie. Everyone seems to have equal time between Batman, the Joker, Harvey Dent and Gordon. Having said that, I have to say that there is no denying that Heath Ledger commands the screen. He is absolutely terrific as the Joker. The best moments of the movie are during his scenes. Definitely worth the price of a movie ticket to see this performance.
