Epic Scope, Flawless Execution
PostedJuly 19, 2008

The Dark Knight may be the most hyped up movie in film history, with its viral internet marketing campaign, well received predecessor, and tragic underscore (Heath Ledger died shortly after filming wrapped, making the Dark Knight his final finished performance), but it lives up to--and even exceeds--its daunting expectations.
The movie is only a superhero movie at its exterior. Here is film that exists in the vein of Heat, LA Confidential, and the Godfather; not so much Iron Man or X-Men. Its scope is grandiose, but the film delivers. And it delivers stuningly during the scenes shot in IMAX, which account for about a fifth of the film. Not only is this worth seeing, it is worth seeing again after that, and again, and again, and again.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
