This is the best movie of the year.
This is one of the best comic book movies every made.
Heath Ledger deserves to win an Oscar for his performance.
The movie is intense, suspenseful, dramatic, gut-wrenching, brutal, funny, exciting, and an absolutely masteful work of art.
The run time is around 2 hours 40 minutes, but this feels like a 90 minute movie.
Maggie Gyllenhaal does a very fine job replacing Katie Holmes.
Christian Bale’s “Batman voice” is really annoying.
Feel free to mix and match those items to construct your own The Dark Knight review.
Many thanks to Justin for getting me into a late night screening of the flick.
