Let me be the first to say, I am not a fan of comic books or superheroes. Some super hero movies I find fun, but I only want to see them once and I never have a desire to see them again. I just like movies that make you think more than action films. The Dark Knight gave me a swift kick in the a**.

Take that, Chie's a**. You deserve that kick. My two cents: It exceeded my expectations, and that says something since my expectations went into another galaxy. This is easily the best super hero movie ever, the best sequel ever, the best action movie ever. This movie was EPIC.


I concur. The best thing: It actually makes you think some! Sure, s*** blows up. There are car chases. Everything you'd expect from this type of movie is here, but the world and characters don't just shake off the rubble. The damage is done, this movie understands the constraints of reality and consequence. There are many brilliant quotes, ideas, and the story is clever and it gives you intelligent twists that genuinely spark emotion, feeling, excitement and makes you think about the consequences, then it gives you those consequences.

Heh, this is probably the most we've ever agreed. As a fan of batman, I will point out one of my most pleasant surprises with the movie. *SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!* Obviously, from the trailers showing Harvey Dent I knew Two Face was coming. I expected them to give us some ****ing cliffhanger where he becomes Two Face and then fade to title, but instead, they handle Two face within the constraints of this film, and quite well I might add. They tie up all the loose ends, and he doesn't feel rushed in. He was planned, whoever wrote the script knew what they were doing, and where they were going.

That's all we really have to say. This is probably the best rating I will ever give an action, let alone a superhero, movie. 9.8/10

The acting was perfect. The joker and two-face were truly menacing, at some points horrifying,batman was cool, the movie makes you laugh when you're supposed to laugh, it makes you cry when you are supposed to cry, and it never ever stops putting you on edge and exciting you. There isn't a single moment where I wasn't being thrilled. As I said before, best superhero movie, best sequel, and best action movie EVAR. Go see it. SEE IT GODDAMMIT! 10/10
 
A review is most likely going to have a few spoilers, you should have seen it coming :p
 
I completely agree with your assesment of the film. It is quite simply a great film....period! It is certainly in my top ten of all time, and we'll probably go higher the more I think on it.
 
i just got back from seeing this movie and this review is right on the money, it is by far the best movie that I have ever seen. Most times you see a movie with heath ledger, you can tell that it is heath ledger, but in this he was completely insane, and freaky as all hell, you would not have expected that from Ledger, but he pulled ti off and played an amazing joker

anyways enough of my rant, this is a great review of an epic movie

I honestly think Heath Ledger should win an Oscar for his performance. It makes me sad to know that he died before the release of this movie, but his spirit should take a bow and be proud of what he accomplished in this film. The Joker is a great villain for a reason, and Ledger managed to make him an even better villain, in fact I'd say that his portrayal of the Joker is even better than the way he is portrayed in the original comics. It truly brings out the insanity, evil, and terror that someone that screwed up really would bring.
 
Honestly, Heath Ledger would've deserved an Oscar for this movie even if he hadn't died. This movie is impossible to describe with words. I've seen it twice already, come on!!! SEE IT!!!
 
I agree, my favourite superhero movie ever. None compare to this. Heath Ledger IS the Joker in this, one of the best movie performances I've ever seen, should definitely at least get nominated for best actor for the Oscars and Golden Globes.
