Best Summer Flick Since "Raiders"

Sit back, relax and steady your nerves for a complex, character-rich, well acted masterpiece of the most malevolent plot twists you may ever see. This flim will delve into the viewer's psyche and outright threshhold for temptation and redemption. No, it isn't simply a revenge or treasure hunt, or even a "catch me if you can" exercise that most action movies devolve into. Filled with complex characters fraught with weighing their motivations vs. their fears vs. their emotions, this film will have you cringing, cheering, laughing and somber and all of this sometimes within seconds of each other. If you're tired by the end of it, it's for a reason: you have quite possibly "seen it all".
With the most hair-raising creepiness, brilliant dialogue, triumphant action sequences and bewildering plot twists, I almost pitty the writers and producers of the next Batman movie. Topping the Joker is difficult enough, but Ledger's performance is the stuff that legends of villainy are made of. Put it this way, actors such as Christopher Lee and Vincent Price made a career of what Ledger has forever cemented in "Dark Knight" alone.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
