I didn't expect much from the movie & I was scared that it wasn't going to be worth the ticket price but it was. The movie was overall funny. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly make for a really good comedic duo. The jokes were silly and the plot was ok. I think what made the movie better was its rated r rating. It just made it more over the top.
This movie definitely met my expectations. I enjoyed every minute of it. The action was great, the performances were great, everything was just amazing. Heath Ledger did an incredible job as the Joker---very scary & sadistic. I'm so glad I saw this movie but the only negative thing I found was that it was very dark (hence, the title) & that it wasn't the "fun" super hero movie you would expect. But overall, I give it 2 thumbs up. GO SEE IT!!!
