Exceeded my HIGH expectations!!

from Greensboro, NC
I had very high expectations for this movie, based on all the press on it beforehand, the sucess of Batman Begins, and of course, the death of Heath Ledger and all the posthumous praise generated. The movie blew me away. I thought Christian Bale was once again the best Batman I have ever seen. The supporting cast was perfect and the storyline was exciting and detailed enough to hold interest for the entire two and a half hours. I kept looking for Heath Ledger in the Joker. I never found him, he WAS the Joker. You couldn't tell WHO was playing the part, and it wasn't because of the makeup. It was because Heath was totally transformed. No familiar voice, movement, facial expression, nothing. This was totally amazing to me.
I also loved that the trailers that I had seen weren't actually in the movie, they were made from pieces of footage and dialog. So that way, you don't feel as if you've seen part of the movie already, something that's always bothered me about trailers.
All in all, The Dark Kinght is the best comic-based movie I have ever seen. As a movie in general, it definitely makes the Best-Of List I have. It is not for small children. It is not a popcorn movie. It is a movie with great story, great performances, great 'toys', and is visually excellent. I highly recommend that everyone looking for an intelligent, entertaining movie, one that won't leave you when the credits roll, The Dark Knight is the one for you. I truly see lots of prizes for this one come award season.
