The newest Batman film lived up to its expectations. Heath Ledger does a brilliant job bringing the Joker to life, making his character believable. Some of the dialogue was slow & dry, especially that concerning the love triangle between Bruce, Rachel, and Harvey Dent. The special effects are phenomenal and several times the audience burst out in applause in the theater. The overall message sent at the end by the movie is not incredibly strong or convincing, but overall, the movie was amazing and a joy to watch - even just for the fact to see Ledger in such a psychotic role.
