Proving that once again, a Batman movie can be made that relies more on characters than gadgets, "The Dark Knight" delves into motivations with relentless intent.
Heath Ledger's performance captured the quintessential Joker - of being the dynamic balance to Bruce Wayne's psyche. There was incredible, palpable tension between the two characters.

Christian Bale lets almost nothing touch his face . . . yet the character slips further and further from his heart. He must, indeed, endure.
Gary Oldman, again, makes Gordon his own character. Utterly believable.
Michael Caine delivers perfectly as Alfred.
Aaron Eckhart is so squeaky and bright as Harvey Dent that his descent into insanity doesn't seem like a stretch at all. The interplay between Dent and the Joker really stole the movie.
I've been underwhelmed by both actresses that played Rachel, but that may be due to her conflicted and fairly unbelievable nature. It didn't detract from either movie, really.
Worth the price of admission (even at IMAX prices), and actually worth seeing a second time.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
