Good message for families

The film displayed an innovative puppet/CG combo that worked very well, taking me back to the old Jim Henson years which have escaped us with the overuse of live action CG in recent years. The film was a drag at times but the message is what made it worth it. This wasn't just another story about a kid lost in his own world that finds himself in fantasy. In the real world, this kid may be seen as having symptoms of ADHD, ODD, even autism. These are issues with our children that we as parents need to understand in any perspective. Overall, I think it was a strong message driven story that focused on the importance of love, interaction, and an open mind when it comes to the most precious creatures on this earth...our children.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Why movies were invented

The Dark Knight was one of those rare treats you experience once or twice every decade. The Dark Knight leads a small group of films this millennium so far that have refreshed the movie going experienced, and inspired me on a personal and professional level.
An up and coming filmmaker myself, I was reminded scene after scene why I have always wanted to make movies. Fine performances from all cast members, notably the late Heath Ledger who would have been our next Brando, or more. The best Joker there ever will be.
Yes, it is long, and you wonder where it will end, and how, but it is much like being at a bar on daylight savings time when you gain an hour; you don't complain.
In the end, it had enough SFX but not too much. It was a dark, mesmerizing, nearly impeccable piece of film making that is ultimately a very human film, and one anyone can relate to one way or another.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
