Simply the best comic-to-movie adaptation ever made as of todays date

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2008)

What can be said to truly capture the joy that the Dark Knight brings?
I'm not here to echo over everyone's reviewers and go on and on telling you about how great it was. I'll be balanced and fair.
THE GOOD:
1.) Movie is better than Batman Begins. 2.) Heath Ledger really shines and gives an Oscar worthy performance. 3.) Non-stop entertainment and action. 4.) some decent and unforeseen plot twists. 5.) Great dialogue. 6.) Cool gadgets and effects. 7.) Fantastic direction and music.
THE BAD: 1.) Twoface had a very minor role. In fact, Harvey dent was where it was at, Twoface had like 20 minutes of face time....Same as venom in spider man. 2.) The dialogue is great. But some scenes are more monologues between characters, rather than conversations. it's like they're talking at the other characters. and not with them. 3.) somewhere close to the end (the last 20 minutes or so...) The movie begins to slow down and feel a little drawn out. 4.) I wish there'd have been more of an epic struggle between Batman and Joker. 5.) Some would argue the movie is a little lengthy. 6.) Batman's disguised voice can be a bit overwhelming. I thought he was talking that way in Begins because he was finding a comfortable cover...but I guess he has found it and plans to stick with the dark raspy tone he's still using.
Over all I think this is a fantastic film and certainly the best comic book movie ever made as of today. I'm sure it'll always stay as a great one that'll withstand the test of time. Though some may disagree. And hey that's cool too.
My personal take is that with the exception of a few very minor flaws the movie was sensational and nothing short of perfect. Go see it now if you haven't and see it again if you have. I've seen it 3 times now ^^
R.I.P. Heath.
I can't wait to buy this movie on Blu-Ray when it is released :-)
