Okay people, I just came back from seeing this and it was par excellence. There are people on here right now saying how much they were disappointed and that it was overrated. It was definitely NOT overrated. In fact this is the first time I have EVER been so impressed with any summer movie. Nothing at all about this movie was shallow. Everything had just the right depth and deserves every positive comment being made. Maybe this just wasn't for the people who made negative commentary? Maybe they don't like big budget action of any sort? I am not about to give a spoiler like review, those are available all over, just suffice to say, if you like A) crime drama, B) cop shows C) superhero movies D) action movies E) good acting, then you will likely enjoy this movie. Also a side note, I was anticipating this to be really bad in terms of violence, to the point where children should not see it- not nearly as bad as I was concerned about, although the Joker is the sickest most homicidal of any on screen versions ever, and probably worse than most comic incarnations I've ever read, which is saying quite a bit.
