These Batman movies all seem good. This one is no exception. Heath Ledgers untimely death makes it hard to follow up. It was a bit overhyped because of the death, but it didn't keep me from enjoying this both at the theater and at home.

I understand that there will always be varying degrees of mixed reactions to even some of the best movies, but, boy, there ought to be way more negative reviews of this thing! Memo to the world...THE DARK KNIGHT IS NOT EVEN A GOOD MOVIE! Having the veneer of seriousness, self-importance, and pomposity does not a good movie make! It is a sequence of quick, confusing, messy scenes with dialogue as juvenile as in any junk movie I've seen the last decade! There really isn't all that much action, as has been proclaimed and the action that it does have is barely entertaining and is convoluted as all get out. Seen it 3 times to TRY to find redeeming qualities. The first time, only Heath Ledger saved it for me and I found myself WAITING for him to appear just so I could enjoy part of the film. The 2nd and 3rd time? Even he became annoying and I actually don't think his performance is truly Oscar-worthy.
The fighting scenes are very lazy. Looks like Batman and the bad guys are just doing kid karate chops at each other. The guy is a NINJA! He took out Al Ghul's highly trained ninjas in BATMAN BEGINS almost like it was nothing. He certainly ought to be able to more easily handle a bunch of low-level criminals, including the Joker. And what is with the uber-raspy voice and the ridiculous outfit? What adds to the absurdity is that, for some odd reason, Nolan abandoned the Gothic city look in BEGINS to favor a REAL city look in TDK! Now, Joker and Batman REALLY look ridiculous in those outfits traipsing around the city.
Except for Joker, ALL characters are one-dimensional and dull. In BEGINS, the main cast was smaller and were operating with an ACTUAL script! Also in BEGINS, there were essentially no minor or non-essential characters that were given spoon-fed dialogue to ruin the proceedings, unlike in this movie. So now in this sequel, you have the main cast, multiplied by 2, with crappy dialogue, along with an army of minor cliched, dull extras that add NOTHING to the movie. Where's the depth, the emotion, the humanity? Not in this trash!

Christopher Nolan returns for this sequel to Batman Begins.
The story pretty much picks up where Batman Begins left off. We see Bruce struggling with his normal life and his life as Batman. However, now he has a new villian on his hands The Joker. The Joker is a sick and twisted character who tells everyone he wants Batman to take off his mask or innocent people will die. This turns the city against Batman. The story also involves Harvey Dent (Two-Face), Gothams District Attorney, who Bruce sees as the person that Batman can never be and believes in Harvey Dent to bring order to the city.
Like most Batman films, this film is very uneven with its plot and a lot of it is rather tough to keep up with. I really felt they should have saved Two-Face for a sequel because there was already so much story with the Joker and it just felt way too crowded when they brought in Two-Face.
From an acting standpoint, this is probably one of the best Batman movies in that department. The acting is very oscar worthy with actors like Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, and of course Heath Ledger dominanting the screen. I have to be honest, i had my doubts about Ledger playing the Joker because his track record in film didn't really inspire a lot of confidence for a character like the Joker but Ledger performance is absolutely legendary. Aaron Eckhart is also very good as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, he does have his moments when he can be over the top but for some reason that works very well. But some bad acting does manage to hit the screen and this is mainly from Christian Bale. Bale, on his own, is a very good actor but for some reason his acting ability seems to fall straight south when it comes to playing Batman. It also doesn't help that his voice sounds absolutely retarded.
This movie displays simply the best action scenes in the history of the Batman films. While action was very good for the rest of the series, The Dark Knight takes it to another level.
CGI is also best in the series mainly because you'll have trouble telling which part is real and which part is CGI and that is always cool.
Overall, The Dark Knight is one of the best Batman films ever made and while the movie does have its flaws it will still keep you on the edge of your seat.

Yeah so I guess they stuck a little to close to the source material & had Joker tied up for the police so they could use The Joker again. Even though Heath Ledger's dead he would want the show to go on. There will be another actor out there to play The Joker a lot of people said that this was better than the 89 movie but to me there equal neither tops the other I like both I liked Christian Bale Morgan Freeman was good as always I didn't know who Arron Echart was but d@** he did stand out for me Heath Ledger was very good I liked Gary Oldman Micheal Caine Maggie Gyllenhaal never seen her in a movie but I liked her more than Katie Holmes. Well acted well put together fun as füç* action film but don't let the comic book fanboys overrate it for you it's a fine movie with or without the hype.

I'm a huge Batman fan since the age of 7 and I'm 50 now! Usually I wait in anticipation for Batman to appear...but not this film! The Joker is who you can't wait for when you see this film. Heath captures and claims the role and NEVER will there be a greater performance by an actor as the Joker! Jack Nicholson be damned Heath is THE JOKER!
