Dark Knight was amazing. I was hesitant about Heath Ledger's performance as well as "yet another batman movie," but Dark Knight was cleverly written, the direction was perfect, there was action, romance, and much more. No need to worry about another mediocre film - Dark Knight is simply perfect. Possibly the best movie I've seen in years. The characters were captivating and deep, the plot was never boring, and the Joker provided not only critical conflicts, but comic relief as well. I couldn't have asked for more.
