Exhaustingly brilliant

That's right....By the time the credits roll, you'll be strung out from this brilliant blitz of psychology and action. You've heard of Ledger's performance, and it lives up to the hype, but Oldman, Eckhart, Freeman, and the lot bring a passion to these characters that only the animated series has managed to muster. I don't review plot details, as I'm a stickler for surprises and wish for everyone to enjoy the twists of TDK as much as I did.
The singular flaw is Bale's overly gruff drawl as Batman. While he's kicking the tail-ends of criminals, I can allow for the intimidating voice, but otherwise, it was a bit over the top. But really, that's me nitpicking.
In a summer of superb comic book adaptations like the Incredible Hulk, Hellboy, and Iron Man, this one stands as one of the greatest of all time. In my most humble opinion, it's up there with Sin CIty, Christopher Reeves' Superman from the 80s (parts I and II), and it easily bests the first Spider Man.
I don't know how they'll top this one for the third installment...it simply isn't possible. Along with Ledger, the greatest incarnation of the Joker will rest in peace.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
