The Dark Knight

One always is concerned about Part Twos and beyond. I think that this is best exemplified by the recent Indiana Jones installation...a few years too late, Georgie.
But Christopher Nolan has a vision. These movies are already complete in his head, and he just realizes them a bit at a time. So when you go see The Dark Knight, be prepared for a subtle continuation of Batman Begins without any hand holding. Nolan's vision of Gotham City is dark, dirty and menacing, and Heath Ledger's version of the Joker is enthralling as he is an animal enjoying the cat and mouse game that Batman creates for him. It's a wonderful envisioning of the character, as Ledger's Joker is a man conversely in love with the idea of Batman, as well as convinced he can find his shatter point.
Be prepared for Lieutenant Gordon showing audiences how he's not the fat, helpless cow that was depicted in previous movies. He might get that way twenty years into the future, but for now, you can see how he is earning Batman's respect.
And I won't tell you all the best part, but the unveiling of the loose cannon is also done very well.
It is fairly dark and violent, with a great deal of big punches and shootings. It makes you squirm, just like a good action movie should, as you worry about the characters. But it's a wonderful story and a great last gift from Heath Ledger.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
