I am usually able to separate a summer blockbuster meant for a large-scale audience from a classic "Oscar-worthy" film. In this case, the movie is both. The script, the storyline, the cinematography and most notably Heath Ledger's performance are all so spectacular that I believe this is the best picture of the year. As the Joker, Ledger created a villian utterly devoid of any redeeming attributes. Every time he was on the screen I was tense with the expectation that something truly evil was about to happen. Yet for all its darkness, the movie also was able to tell the tale without the need for blood or foul language, which is probably how it managed a PG-13 rating. Young children should not see this move. In the end, although it was a very dark movie, good triumphed over evil, and humanity chose the high road. The Joker's undoing is learning that very few share his chaotic view. Like us, Batman is flawed, but in his quest to do the right thing, his humanity is affirmed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
