For anyone who saw the first Batman movie (Batman Begins) featuring Christian Bale, the second, the Dark Knight, is a must-see. It was quite different from Batman Begins, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. In my opinion, Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was by far the best...and I'm not just saying that because he's passed on. He truly made the Joker a menacing psychopath with just a touch of humor and sarcasm, and in the process, raised interesting questions about the lengths to which people will go to save themselves and their loved ones in a time of crisis. This movie was exceptional and I would highly recommend it. It is not, however, for children--there are enough violent, psychologically intimidating scenes to scare most young children.
