Yes, it has been said over and over again that this movie was going to be spectacular and it was built up and yet still managed to meet all expectations. For the first time in quiet a while all of America can agree on something, The Dark Night is phenomenal. My only criticism, Ledger played the roll all too well after warning from former "Joker," Jack Nicholson to be careful. It's a shame, but he'll certainly go down in movie history.
