Ledger is amazing, but the effects steal the show!

Remarkable and dazzling piece of film and outdoes all previous installments of the franchise (which it must). If you're into technical filmmaking, the sound editing and action sequences are a feast for the senses. As is the Tumbler bike! That is one of the coolest iconic pieces of machinery I have ever seen. I also liked Maggie Gyllenhaal's eyes, gave her character the depth that has notoriously been lacking in the story. Heath Ledger's performance was haunting and in scenes w/out him I desperately wanted for him to get back on screen. The effects used to create Harvey Dent's face were pretty bold. I applaud all efforts and ambition that went into this film. It was a lot to pull off and, by and large, it worked beautifully.
