Simply Superb

If you're going to see The Dark Knight, the first thing I would reccommend doing is either bringing a catheter or a bedpan because this movie is long, and if you look away once, then you will miss at least one important detail that makes the entire plot seem relevant. Actually, if I had to summarize the plot, I'd actually be saying everything that's already been said. The interesting thing about this movie is that we already know the plot. The Joker comes in, and terrorizes the city, and Harvey Dent and Batman try to stop him, and Harvey Dent becomes Two-Face. We know that much, but what's really cool is how it's executed. But I won't spoil that. So I'll jump straight to the characters. Batman's dark and broody, Harvey Dent is a vigilante who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, and the Joker's just a nutjob. That's it. This a review, not a spoiler. Oh yeah, and Rachel Dawes is in there, but Maggie Gyllenhaal plays her like she's an on/off switch. Either she's one character, or she's another, and it's nice to see a middle ground once in a while. But that's just picking nits here. This movie is what the title states: simply superb. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was absolutely terrifyinig, regardless of his status in this world. If he was a hobo on the street, I would be saying the same thing. If someone asked me to recommend this movie, I would recommend it to them, their parents, their grandparents, their ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend, and future girlfriend/wife/ex-wife and their unborn children and grandchildren. This movie is fantastic.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
