Definitely lived up to the hype!!!

The sequel to Batman Begins (the best Batman movie created so far) was definitely worth the 45 minute wait in the lobby. With all of the hype surrounding the movie and Heath Ledger's performance, I was worried that it would not live up to my expectations - but it did not disappoint. Almost every scene was full of suspense and kept the full attention of the audience. A naturally darker film (as was the first), Heath Ledger's performance also added an unexpected light-heartedness and humor to the film. I have seen almost every movie that he has been in and I feel that this was his greatest achievement as an actor and one of the best performances of any actor that I have yet seen.
While Christian Bale seems to be constantly overlooked and underappreciated - I have been a fan of his since I first saw him in Newsies. He is a very talented actor who has a knack for roles of darker qualities and emotions. But he also brings a great charisma and subtle humor to the screen. His performance in the second of the Nolans' Batman movies was again excellent, but I feel his role lacked sufficient depth and screentime this time around.
Supporting roles played by Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman really brought the whole movie together - making it the best film I have seen this year.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
