Not to be out done by Heath Ledger's riviting preformance as "the joker", i was very impressed with the acting abilites of Gary Oldman as "Lt. Gordon" and Aaron Eckhart as "harvey dent". The trio's acting superpower put on a compeling show of lust, love, decete, fear, and anger. Although i was a bit let down with Christain Bale's performance as "Batman". I felt there was something missing as if he wasnt a complete batman. I also feel the this actually only deserves a 4.5 star, due to the lack of plot and lack of resolution, but i have seen it twice now and the second time around was just as good if not better than the first. All in all, i feel like this is a movie that i would buy, isnt that the ultimate disicion in movie watching? the purchase of the movie for your collection... so i say yes, buy it. - movie-aficionado
