From the storyline by the Nolans to the maniacal performance from Ledger and everything in-between, "The Dark Knight" was everything moviegoers had rightfully anticipated-- an amazing film and the definite front-runner of this summer's selections. Though with expectations so high there is great difficulty in the film exceeding them, "Dark Knight" certainly won't fail to meet those expectations head-on at the very least.
Perhaps the best aspect of the Nolan screenplay is that the film transcends the comic genre entirely. Sure, the chase scenes are amazing and the new toys and schemes of Batman are still on par with what comic fans would expect, but the realness of the story makes the viewer feel like the two comic book icons could be replaced with everyday, run-of-the-mill characters and the film would still be a terrific crime saga. The fact that Batman and the Joker face off in a film of such quality sets a new standard for the comic genre and I can only more eagerly anticipate the next film in this ongoing series.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
