Despite what I've heard most people say about this movie, without Health Ledger, i think this movie would have been an utter failure. Health Ledger plays the Joker amazingly and the sick humor is extremely entertaining. Despire that though, there have been much better Batman movies in the past.

Best one out of the endless Batman saga. As much as I am indifferent to Batman hysteria and all that, Heath Ledger's performance is stunning to say the least. Truly a lifetime act. The lifetime act in Ledger's short life. Bravo.

I am so much with you. Don't care at all about the whole batman thing, but Dark Knight is pretty awesome. Great action flick.

Christopher Nolan, if he releases another flick as good as this and Inception, will officially be one of my favorite directors. The cinematography of the Dark Knight and wonderfully choreographed fights make this an awesome and powerful movie filled with emotions. You'll enjoy beyond the innate fondness all of us have for Batman, as this hero and enemy of villains, as the Dark Knight portrays him as a real person behind and while wearing the mask.

I'm not going to lie, this movie gets four stars for Heath Ledger alone. He was the highlight of the movie and, without him, it would have been one big snooze-fest.
