November 1, 2008Not just better than "Batman Begins", it's really better than all the Bat-films combined. It's more than just a good superhero movie, this is a really enthralling crime thriller.

June 27, 2009Entertaining but not as earth-shattering as some make it out to be. It felt all a little piecemeal in places and the whole supposedly "dark" moral aspect of the film feels all very Chinese cookie....

June 13, 2009It must be at least 18 months since the hype machine was started up for The Dark Knight. It may not have appeared on the average movie goer?s radar until a couple of months before the movie was actually released but for people who spend half their life on the Internet this was fo... ...( read more )

July 3, 2009It was a good film, but once again really over rated. People said things like "best in the series" and so on, but I don't think it even begins to compare to the original Batman film.

Mike McGranaghan, The Aisle Seat
Not just a comic book movie but a virtual dissertation on the nature of good and evil, as well as the thin line that sometimes separates them. full review

Wade Major, Boxoffice Magazine
Far from offering traditional summer escapism...a brainy, action-packed morality play meant to throttle the audience, body and mind, for a solid 152 minutes and haunt them for days and weeks later. full review

Michael Sragow, The Baltimore Sun
It's the standard-bearer for the school of comic-book movies that confuses pompousness with seriousness and popular mechanics for drama. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
You come away impressed, oppressed, provoked, and beaten down, holding on to Ledger's squirrelly incandescence as a beacon in the darkness. full review

[Ledger gives] a fine performance regardless, and I wish the movie around it were more deserving. full review

Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
It's jam-packed with flawlessly designed set-pieces and skullduggery, sure, but it's also shrouded in grim portent, overlaid with a filigree of despair, and, for good measure, covered in a patina of d... full review

April 7, 2009TDK was robbed. You know it. I know it.
What bothers me though, is that if The Dark Knight had won Best Picture, everyone who didn't see the film would attribute it's award to the death of Heath Ledger. The name of the Dark Knight has been cocked up forever because of one tragedy. Shame. -

January 27, 2009Damn you, Academy. I don't care WHAT you say, this movie has Best Pictire written all over it.
You could have made history, people, but instead you just proved how close-minded and elitist you really are. -
