This movie transcends the comic genre ( and all other genres for that matter) and has to be considered as one of the landmark films of the year. The action and violence is intense, exciting, exhilarating, and everything else you expect from a Batman flick, but the cinematography takes it to a whole new level and keeps it from becoming overly gory and over-the-top (which would have been easy for them to do with this script). The story is intense and dark, but it there are enough light moments to keep it from becoming too depressing, and the acting is every bit as good as advertised. While Heath Ledger does deliver the ultimate joker, I never felt that he stole the show. That job was taken by Aaron Eckhart whose understated performance was a beautiful mix of subtlety and charisma. It was an extraordinary performance by the entire cast, though, and amazingly good theater.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
