The movie lived up to my expectations and then some. Usually when you go into a movie with high expectations you should also go in ready to be disappointed, but that is not the case for "The Dark Knight". The movie kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole time not knowing what was going to happen next. Their were so many twists and turns and action that you could not help but be drawn into the movie. You did not feel like you were sitting there for two and a half hours. I would recomend that everyone watch it. It is well worth the money. If you are a fan of the original comic book you will like it, because It stays very true to the comic books.
