Summary: wow
Comment: This was probably the best movie I saw in 2008. The Indiana Jones movie came in a close second. Heath Ledger took the joker in directions I wish others had taken him. I don't understand why people were dissing the length of the film. It could have been 6 hours for all I care. I found it to be pure cinematic excellence, plus I think in terms of movies Chris Nolan stumbled upon what can finally be determined is the real Batman. The story is great, the acting is incredible. However, I wish they would left somewhere else to go. A third film would have been great, considering most movies lately have been so terrible its scary!!

Cant wait for it to arrive!!!!

Summary: anyone giving this film less than 5 stars obviously doesn't know what a good movie is!
Comment: I saw this movie, and was simply blown away. I have never been more into a movie than this one. Perfect cast, fantastic acting, intresting in almost all aspects. This is probaly my favorite movie of the year, but the only other one that rivals it is eagle eye (which i highly recomend to any fans of action movies). It's a real toss up, but they're both so good in different ways. I'm gonna have to give 1st place to The Dark Knight.
If you haven't seen this film, you haven't lived life to the fullest, go and watch it right now!
Now you've read this, so go!

Summary: Better than the original.... believe it or not
Comment: First off, we all know this already: Heath Ledger blew the doors off with his performance in TDK and suddenly, Christopher Nolan has created a CRIME MOVIE with a masked vigilante in it. Is this what BATMAN is really all about?
YES!
Nolan hits home-runs (or at least some pretty decent singles, if you weren't a fan of INSOMNIA) and this example of storytelling is no exception. He's one of the few people who really began to take comic book movies seriously and the Hollywood community is suddenly beginning to follow suit. THE DARK KNIGHT is the perfect example of what happens when you take the new mythology and treat it with respect - you get a quality mobster film based in a gritty reality that you could believe might actually happen.
And let's not ignore the fact that it's also really cool.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Just a tad too long
Comment: Very good movie. Christian Bale is the best Batman and Heath Ledger played an awesome Joker. I would see the movie again and will likely get it on DVD for the family, but in my opinion, it was a bit too long. They could have easily taken 30 minutes of fluff out of the movie.

The Dark Knight arrives with tremendous hype (best superhero movie ever? posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger?), and incredibly, it lives up to all of it. But calling it the best superhero movie ever seems like faint praise, since part of what makes the movie great--in addition to pitch-perfect casting, outstanding writing, and a compelling vision--is that it bypasses the normal fantasy element of the superhero genre and makes it all terrifyingly real. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is Gotham City's new district attorney, charged with cleaning up the crime rings that have paralyzed the city. He enters an uneasy alliance with the young police lieutenant, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Batman (Christian Bale), the caped vigilante who seems to trust only Gordon--and whom only Gordon seems to trust. They make progress until a psychotic and deadly new player enters the game: the Joker (Heath Ledger), who offers the crime bosses a solution--kill the Batman. Further complicating matters is that Dent is now dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, after Katie Holmes turned down the chance to reprise her role), the longtime love of Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne. In his last completed role before his tragic death, Ledger is fantastic as the Joker, a volcanic, truly frightening force of evil. And he sets the tone of the movie: the world is a dark, dangerous place where there are no easy choices. Eckhart and Oldman also shine, but as good as Bale is, his character turns out rather bland in comparison (not uncommon for heroes facing more colorful villains). Director-cowriter Christopher Nolan (Memento) follows his critically acclaimed Batman Begins with an even better sequel that sets itself apart from notable superhero movies like Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man because of its sheer emotional impact and striking sense of realism--there are no suspension-of-disbelief superpowers here. At 152 minutes, it's a shade too long, and it's much too intense for kids. But for most movie fans--and not just superhero fans--The Dark Knight is a film for the ages. --David Horiuchi
