it took me a couple of viewing, paying premium ticket price to make up my mind about this movie. (by the way thats a compliment) one simple fact. its a very good movie. after tim burton's batman, nolans's batman has come much closer to the actual character of a dark knight. superman and batman are the most respected and likable superheroes from the DC stable. and my personal favorite is Batman. it was disheartening to see how his image was reduced to mere popcorn comic hero. after a decade, nolan gave me a ray of hope with his version of batman. but never had a clue about how he was going to manage another magic trick as good as the previous one. surprises are always around the corner. not only the new magic trick was better than previous one, but went beyond my expectations. the dark knight is a good movie in almost every sense. the acting - direction - story line - music - action - the theme and the ideologies that are put across by the joker are worth pondering about. philosophy and actual day reality, makes one think beyond what a man in a mask or white paste can spit out. from a mere comic strip to a thinker's movie..... very few movies does that to an audience. a rare feat. winning the common people and the critics alike speaks volumes about this movie. still the movie has few short comings... but i would be happy to let them stay in front of this spectacular work. not but the least, my tribute to an outstanding performance by heath the joker.
