The movie and the story were incredible. The effects were cool but can be trying on the eyes at the end. Heath was awesome as the Joker whenever he was on stage. Batman was the same as in Batman Begins which means that his lines are cheesy and short. I am sure after I watch it 4-5 times more that this will go away the same as Batman Begins. DONT see this movie just because one of the great actors died after filming it, GO SEE IT because it is a great action/crime drama. Even those that are not Batman or superhero movie fans will like this. 2 1/2 hours long so dont go buying the extra large coke before sitting down, you will regret it later. Good news, you will want to see it again even if just for the part you missed when running to the washroom. Gary Oldman does an incredible job also as Gordon. Didnt like the new Rachel Doss as much but I guess Tom Cruise wouldnt let his princess out of the castle.
