I agree, I went to see it last night, and I highly recommend everyone go see Batman if you get a chance. Ledger pulled off an amazingly creepy joker (And I think he deserves all the Oscar buzz), and it's not just a great movie based on a comic book, it's just a great movie.

I am honestly struggling to explain how good Dark Knight was. That's no exageration. Ledger's performance is every bit as good as the buzz...even better. The only neg for the movie was that Ledger was so good that his character dominated the movie and sorta pushed Bale's Batman aside. I loved Batman Begins and I loved this one as much. Honestly this is the best movie and sequel since the Godfather I/II.

SPOiLER SORTA-> The setup for the future is awesome but unfotunately we'll never get anymore Joker/Batman setups. I can't see them ever getting someone else to play this Joker in the future.

Ok this is how good the movie is.

Everyone knows what it feels like when your super stoked to see a big game and when it finally gets here sometimes its as good as you thought and sometimes its not. Well on a rare occasion it's actually better. It's historic. It's seminal. Well this movie is that. I felt like just sitting there in the theatre because I didn't want it to be over. I left feeling like I had just seen something that I can tell my kids someday that I saw on opening day and they'll be in awe. This movie was everything that the new Star Wars movie hype didn't live up to and outshines the efforts of Lord of the Rings by a good country mile.

Not that Bale wasn't great in this, but he practically deserved third or even fourth billing in this. Ledger and Eckhart just stole the screen throughout the movie, especially towards the end. And I thought Gary Oldman was also a force throughout.

I seriously want to see it again this weekend. Heath Ledger's performance has to go down with Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and Javier Bardem in NCFOM.

Just got back from seeing the Dark Knight, finally a summer blockbuster that lives up to the hype and then some! Great movie... I loved it.

Ledger lived up to every bit of the hype. In the back of your mind you know that Ledger's untimely death makes his character all the more sinister.

I kinda felt sad watching Ledger just knowing we'll never get to see how much more he could have done in film. He was really great.
