Alot has been said already about TDK. I feel the movie lived up to all the hype surrounding it. By the 3rd act, I was mostly convinced(and sympathetic) towards the Joker and his plight. Heath Ledger immersed himself into the role, and it shows. I cannot think of a better villain to love since Darth Vader. The only down side I could see to this film was the lack of character development of Bruce Wayne. Yes, we all know what motivates him, but we learned little of what state of mind he is in. All the actors lived up to their roles, the effects are on par, and the story was well conceived. I waited 2 weeks to see this film, and it was WELL worth it. I wish ALL superhero movies could live up to this standard.
