It's been a tough summer for really good movies. Few and far between. I was worried 'The Dark Knight' wasn't going to live up to all the hype, so I tried to go in with low expectations. I wasn't disappointed. I have seen it twice now. Each time, I have seen it with friends who are not huge fans of superhero movies. Every one of them was shocked at how good it was. Christopher Nolan has quite a vision for the world of Gotham, Batman, and the villians. It is sad to think Nolan setup the next film perfectly and with the death of Heath Ledger it really lives things up in the air. All the performances were right on! This movie better be nominated for Best Picture!
