This might be the movie with the widest audience ever

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

This is my first review for a movie on IMDb, and I am writing this because I was blown away by this movie. I only hope that I see more movies like this which warrant a review. OK, now why is this movie so awesome? Why does it have such a huge rating on IMDb? In one word, maybe because this is as close to perfect that a movie can get.
As my title suggests, I strongly believe that this movie is for everyone. From kids who want to see a superhero fight villains and some cool special effects to someone who wants to see a movie with great depth, direction and amazing characterization. I've seen comments here that complain that the characterization wasn't actually great.. that bruce wayne was dumb, the joker has no back story. i don't think these ppl got the point at all.. bruce wayne is a flawed person. he has an internal struggle, he has emotions just like he is not physically invincible. the joker without a back-story surely makes him more mysterious and freakish. the director left some things to our imagination. and we should appreciate that. Dark comedy, the amazing Chicago cityscape.. Come on it even had the cheap thrills that make it so worth a trip to a theater with good sound effects. This movie has more good things than most other movies that I have seen, without compromising on commercial value! Taking a superhero and making a meaningful AND entertaining movie out of it is good, no make that great cinema. There is absolutely no doubt about that in my mind.
