It was good

Like many fans of Batman Begins, I had waited for a long time to see the new Dark Knight featuring the Joker. The movie was very entertaining with well drawn characters and and all the gadgets and action sequences that fans expect from any Batman movie. Christopher Nolan has done a great job of turning the often cartoonish franchise into a serious and dynamic series, the latest one taking place in a very real Gotham City that easily could have been any major contemporary American city. This Gotham was not dressed with painted back drops and exotic set pieces like any previous movies in the series, rather, the whole film was done in a gritty realistic way that made it believable as a film whose merits relied on the traditional criteria of good filmmaking: direction, acting, cinematography, writing, etc.., not special effects and glitz.
Christian Bale did a good job again as Batman, though his voice when in the bat suit did get a little tiresome. Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, played the character to its fullest within the realm of believability. The breakout performance, as everyone is saying, was Heath Ledger as the Joker. Leger truly did a remarkable job making the Joker both real and extremely creepy, though I was really hoping for some background on his character or a flashback that explained his transformation from person to crazy demented psychotic murderous lunatic.
The movie was good with great characters, in the next film I'd like to see a little more of the back story and epic story telling that made Batman Begins so memorable.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
