I don't normally see movies at midnight and I wasn't sure if this movie was going to rock my world like it should to be worthy of a midnight viewing but lo and behold it lived up to it.
Christian was amazing as always, very intense. And as I am sure everyone has already said, Heath's performance was amazing. The Joker is a hard role and he managed to make him crazy but appealing at the same time. Very charismatic and frightening. The director nailed it, the pacing, the style the dark theme...he did it without being cheesy or seeming manufactured. I think back to the cheese of the old Batman movies and realize that Hollywood had no idea how to handle comic book heroes. But now they do. The Dark Knight rides that fine line between comic, grit and movie that is so hard to master.
Warning: There is more Joker than Batman in this movie but I couldn't care less. Totally fun film and I will definitely see it in the theater again!
