I had decently high expectations for this movie, but nothing had me prepared for what was to come. This movie was completely flawless. It will keep the sticklers happy by drawing from several comic sources for storylines and altercations, the action is great, the acting is great, you can't ask for more in a movie. The Dark Knight was also one of the most emotional movies I have ever seen as far as being able to make me anxious and I was actually a little queezy through parts of the movie because I was so nervous about the things happening. And last but not least, the dialogue and psychology of the characters was FASCINATING. I never thought I'd say this about a super hero flick and not feel silly, but this is one of my favorite films of all time.
