"May be the most hopeless, despairing comic-book movie in memory. It creates a world where being a superhero is at best a double-edged sword and no triumph is likely to be anything but short-lived." ... Read full review

I don't understand why this movie gets bashed so much because it's "overrated." So what? Pretend as though you never heard anyone say how goodI don't understand why this movie gets bashed so much because it's "overrated." So what? Pretend as though you never heard anyone say how good this film is, then watch it, and then talk to me. And don't even get me started on people saying, "People like it just because Heath Ledger died!" Again, pretend as though he didn't die, watch his performance again, and then come talk to me. An outstanding performance by anyone who was ever involved in this film. Expand

This is not a blockbuster either. It is an excellent film, if not the best in special effects, if not as picturesque as they were earlier, itThis is not a blockbuster either. It is an excellent film, if not the best in special effects, if not as picturesque as they were earlier, it does not matter: Batman has essentially unlike other blockbusters is visually attractive, exciting and above all, deep and disturbing.
In this sequel, our hero (Christian Bale) must face a new enemy The Joker (Heath Ledger), extremely dangerous individual, who will head to Gotham and its legal system. Batman has his faithful assistants: the butler Alfred (Michael Caine) and the scientist and his company right arm Lucius (Morgan Freeman), his old flame Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gylenhall, replacing Katie Holmes), Commissioner Gordon Gary Oldman, thank god), and the district attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), who, as many know, will later become the villain Two-Face.
The actors did an excellent job in his performance, but the teacher, the idol, the incomparable, glorious God in this film is nothing more and nothing less than Heath Ledger, really exceeded many of its actions to reincarnate the madman and worst enemy Batman, the Joker.
The joker in this film is not a lot of criminal and, unlike others, does not seek money, which makes it an extremely dangerous to be without remorse or reason in their actions. The Joker is an agent of chaos, whose actions directly impact Batman and Gotham's residents, but beyond the screen so that the fight against Batman called it an excuse to go throwing small statements about the nature of human being, of a supposed goodness of their irrationality, their need to have heroes and limitations of these champions of justice.
Moreover, we will see some personal aspects of life as Bruce Wayne Batman: inability to hold a formal relationship with Rachel and the possibility that it is for another man: Harvey. But this love triangle is far from being a key feature shoehorned, only an instrument for the resolution of the plot.

The result: The glorious Starring of Heath Ledger, a dark and excellent history, expléndidas performances, an excellent score, a epia direction from Nolan glorious, incredible action scenes and excellent result:
The best film of the decade 2000, would be a sin not to see. Do not be disappointed. My Score: 100 definitely.

Great performance by Ledger! Almost perfect action movie but at times I felt that two many characters and ideas were introduced at once. The Great performance by Ledger!

I love dark movies -- Pan's Labyrinth, Apocalypse Now -- but Dark Knight isn't dark: it's sick. If you like horror movies like I love dark movies -- Pan's Labyrinth, Apocalypse Now -- but Dark Knight isn't dark: it's sick. If you like horror movies like Hostel and Saw III, maybe this'll be up your line -- but come on: a cell phone stitched into a guy's stomach and rigged to explode crosses a line for me. There's no point, no message, just sick, disturbing sadism. Expand
