Taking a superhero out of the superfluous and grounding him in the superior, The Dark Knight does everything right. It is no longer an action movie, but a violent drama. It is no longer pablum for the masses, but a wake up call for how iconic characters can transcend genre. Brilliant direction, perfect performances, shockingly good script, this movie simply excels at everything it does without trying to do more than it should. Heath Ledger's tragedy is brought starkly to life in the realization that there will never be that Joker on the screen again. If he doesn't get a posthumous Oscar nomination, it would only compound the loss.
Go see it. Go see it in IMAX. Let your ears bleed and your eyes ache as you can't just sit back and let it play. You have to be actively involved in the IMAX experience, and that makes it all the better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
