The Dark Knight was one of the best sequels to a film I have seen in a long time. It was amazing. The cinematography was outstanding. Christian Bale did an amazing job in the movie and Heath Ledger was outstanding. It was so hard to tell that it was actually Heath Ledger. The movie actually surpassed my expectations of great and soared right up into the AMAZING area. It was beyond better than the first one. While the movie is long, and I do mean long, it is worth every minute. I can honestly say there were no moments where the movie became slow or boring and every minute something was going on that made the next scene impossible to wait for. Hands down one of the greatest movies I've seen in a long time. I would recommend it to anyone regardless of your hero movie preferences. Great, Great, Great movie. MUST SEE for Summer 2008. One recommendation: SEE IT IN DLP. I can't imagine ANY other way to watch this movie. MAKE SURE the theater has DLP because it looks AMAZING.
