When it's great, it's great.

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2008)

The movie has many expectations and yes it DOES live to the hype. Even more. You got three mains characters : Bruce/Batman-Joker and Harvey Dent who is the biggest surprise of the movie because not many talk about him. It's not really a super hero's movie. It's an Epic crime drama with some well known characters from Comics books.
And no the movie isn't overrated, when it's great, it's great and you say it, hype or not. Batman Begins was good, Spiderman 2 was good, The Dark Knight is great like Heat was. And I can say that TDK has even more superb scenes than Hear have. So give respect to the film, it deserves it, really.
