One of the best movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2008)

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I left the theater speechless. I enjoy - and expected - a typical comic book movie and, with all of the hype, was ready for a let down. This movie is dark and deep and violent and is nothing like any comic book movie ever made...I forgot that it even was a comic book movie. I don't even know how top describe it. It is a combination horror/thriller/detective/psychological/action movies. It shows how fine the line between good and evil can be. The Joker will go down as on the the finest psycho characters in film history, alongside the likes of Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter; it was the performance of a lifetime (no pun intended). On a negative note, the movie didn't "flow" very well; it did seem a bit choppy in parts and was a little long. The movie doesn't completely absorb you. That probably has something to do with "editing", one of those film credits no one usually pays attention to. Maybe it needed a better editing. Regardless, this movie is a must-see.
