The movie was, well, amazing! the storyline was really well thought-out and they followed through all the way to the resolution...no feeling like the end was rushed. Heath Ledger (God rest him) was FANTASTIC! His take on the Joker was so incredible - funny, eerie, disturbing, and like-able all at once. It was one of those performances that leaves you wanting more. I can definitely see this role as an Academy Award contender. Yes, it was really that good, and if it doesn't get a serious nomination i would be shocked and pretty ticked. The entire case was perfect, and i still think Christian Bale is the best Batman (or at least every bit as good as Keaton). I didn't see this on Imax (they sold out pretty quick), but it was still awesome. One of the best movies i've ever seen.
