wow ! The Dark Knight is like watching a whole year of movies and then more. The scale, the depth, the nuances, the emotions come together to create what must be the greatest storytelling so far. It is just perfect! The layering of the plot and how it all comes to a climaxing, and worthy, end is handled with such deftness that you'll find soon find yourself believing that the Dark knight does exist. Nothing is left to chance to sustain this belief. Then there is the twist or rather the many twists. As the plot unravels; we are brought into this journey of discovery about Batman, the Joker, everyone else and ourselves. Heath Ledger is simply superb as the Joker (the rest of the cast are excellent too). But he, and he alone, pokes at our emotions. Whatever it was that was felt - surprised, shocked, saddened and every emotion in between - the Joker was very much part of it. Watch it and walk away dazed, the experience will last you for the whole year
