Dark says it all

In a year where superhero movies are as common as a political commercial, The Dark Knight reigns supreme. The heroes and villains are actually three-dimensional, with substance and the visuals are amazing without becoming too over-the-top. The only let-down was the less-than-Gothic portrayal of Gotham City. That is what I really enjoyed in the earlier Batman movies. Still, an excellent movie!
Bale , Eckhart and, especially Ledger (who will more than likely receive a few posthumous awards) as the infamous Joker, all deliver with dead-on performances. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine also deserve notable mention in their supporting roles.

The PG-13 rating is questionable with the amount of intense violence. Thirty years ago, this would have been an R-rated movie, so why it wasn't--especially in today's world--baffles me. Hopefully, this review will serve as a guide to parents and guardians of young teens who might be disturbed by the content of this motion picture.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
