Breath Taking - Literally!

**I love The Dark Night comic books. Year One. DK1 and DK2. This movie goes above and beyond my expectations.
**Christian Bale makes, once again, a brooding and conflicted Batman. I was VERY skeptical about him in the first Dark Night but he won me over. He is more here. I could have used a more toned down Batman voice ... it's a bit grating... but overall he was fabulous.
**I was not ready to love Heath Ledger's Joker. I was open to this interpretation but wanted to wait and see. I have NEVER seen a creepier villain. Hannibal Lecter comes the closest. This Joker is even creepier. And he's funny (in a VERY creepy sort of way). You laugh but hope no one sees you laughing because it is just wrong! I'm sad to not be able to see more of this Joker in the future. The performance was nothing short of brilliant.
**I'm not an Aaron Eckhart fan. Not that I don't like him but he's not a name that comes to mind when I think of great acting. I now revise that. He is PERFECT as Harvey Dent. He made me believe. I believe in Harvey Dent. I loved watching him up on the screen and his character is much more important than I thought it would be.
**Gary Oldman made me cheer in this movie as Gordon. He made me cry too. He is one of the great actors and his performance here is wonderful.
**I'm so HAPPY to see Maggie Gyllenhaal. She is a MUCH, MUCH better choice as Rachel Dawes. I did NOT miss Katie Holmes. Maggie made herself known and has a great screen presence. Something Katie Holmes does NOT have.
**Overall this was a fantastic movie. I had to keep reminding myself to breath. It is fast paced and tense. I could not believe the many twists and turns this movie took. This will always be one of my most favorites of movies. I have to see it again because I know I must of missed something. It moved so fast. You must see this movie for the Joker and Harvey Dent. Two of the best performances. The special effects were better and bolder than any I've seen in a while. I LOVED THIS.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
