• Truly Amazing...

  by calamasaby1985

  Hands down the most I have enjoyed myself watching a film in a long time. It destroys any cliches you would expect and produces a gritty truly exciting and engrossing film. Although some people may be inclined to think that Ledger will be given credit regardless due to his untimely death before the release of the movie... Full Review

• Why so serious???

  by psykotikguy66

  I have to say that I overall enjoyed this movie, but it was completely stolen by Heath Ledger. His performance as the Joker was one of the most engaging and entertaining that I have ever seen, in any capacity. I wish the studios luck... Full Review

• Nothing short of a Masterpiece!

  by berserk_bebopper

  This is quite possibly the perfect comic based movie, but is so much more than just another superhero movie. The story directing and acting are all top notch and make for a movie that will be near impossible to top. This is the movie to see this year... Full Review

  by rggarofalo

  Christian Bale and Heath Ledger represent true acting in this film. The visuals are stunning, the plot: complex but not overdone. Being an avid Batman fan, I couldn't wait to see this installment. It not only met my expectations, it blew them out of the water... Full Review

• Does the Oscar come in BLACK?

  by akhymes

  It definitely should this year. This was quite possibly the shortest 2 1/2 hours of my life. This movie had everything. Explosions, drama, twists everything you have come to expect from Christopher Nolan. This man is storyteller first and a filmmaker second... Full Review

  Man, how I wanted to see this so bad. I really don't head to the theater too much (thank you Netflix!), but trekked out to midnight showing and sat in the packed, sold out theater. An hour in, I was ready to fall aspleep, and not because I was tired. he story is just totally and completely non-existent... Full Review
