This is the best movie I've seen in years

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

Quite frankly, THE DARK KNIGHT is the year's best film, and as I scan the line-up of films to be released this year, I see nothing on the horizon that can even come close. In fact, I'll go one further. THE DARK KNIGHT is the best film I've seen in years. Don't look for a key scenes section they're all key scenes. Everyone behind the camera, from Chris Nolan to the teaming of Hans Zimmer and James Howard Newton, and everyone in front of the camera, from Heath Ledger to Michael Caine excels.
A few quick notes: look carefully and you will see two scenes taken directly from the Sean Connery Bond series. To keep the liberal Hollywood left happy there is a scene tossed in dealing with security and the power to invade private lives. The new mask does not fit Christian Bale as well as the old. The rooftop scenes are amazing in IMAX. This is not a kids' Batman movie. Its quite adult and I suspect Nolan could have made this even darker. The movie is long, clocking in over two and a half hours, but it is exceptionally well paced.
Whatever you spend to get into the theatre will be worth it. It's that good. Don't wait for DVD or pay-per-view. This one is a theatre going experience. THE DARK KNIGHT is an instant classic. 'nuff said.
THE RATING FOR THE DARK KNIGHT = A MY RATING=15/10
