Within the first 10 minutes of The Dark Knight, I had already left the theater and entered into Gotham City's world of organized crime and chaos. An hour later, I was engaged in the rapidly developing story-line. One more hour, and my thought that no better climax could emerge from the screen than the road rage scene was proved wrong by the psychologically-challenging last 30 minutes. At the movie's end, all I could think about was my amazement at what I had just seen, and my disappointment that Heath Ledger won't be returning as The Joker. Of all the things that made this movie great, Ledger provided the greatest piece of the pie. He showed the audience a psychotic, chaos-driven sociopath whose sense humor is unmatched by any other character in the movie, an achievement quite difficult to reach. Ledger's superb portrayal of The Joker, along with added consistently solid performances by Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart and the bonuses of Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, make this movie one you cannot miss. Many thought that the Spiderman franchise would be unrivaled in the comic-book-film series. Not only are they wrong, but those who thought comic-book movies couldn't surpass the depth and greatness of classic cult-hits were wrong, too. One will leave the theater with many different emotions, but in the end, we will all have loved what Nolan has done with Batman: The Dark Knight.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
