Excellent movie! Heath Ledger's performance of the Joker was awesome. The movie made me scream and jump a few times and I found myself needing a massage afterwards because I was so tense throughout the viewing. There were several things that took place that were not expected. A little bit of a cliff hanger when it came to the end with the Joker but probably because Heath died. I highly recommend this movie to adults but not children. They may have nightmares after watching the movie.
