As a big Tim Burton/Batman fan, I needed some convincing. This latest installment of Batman was well done but it did have some faults:
1) It was too long. This movie is 2 1/2 hours long and it didn't need to be. Some of the scenes tended to drag and the movie spent too much time on the Twoface storyline.
2) Twoface was weak. I always saw Twoface as a big villian and enemy of Batman. Twoface, in this movie, did nothing more than hold up a car with a gun: weak. While the vision of Harvey Dent changing to Twoface was well done, Twoface, in this movie, was a minor character just like Scarecrow was the previous movie.
3) Batman needed more Batman-looking toys. I am glad they got rid of that ridiculous-looking Batmobile. Unfortunately I had to witness an even more ridiculous-lokking motorcycle.
4) The Dark Knight. While I do enjoy "The Dark Knight" as a nickname for Batman. I don't see why Nolan couldn't have followed a 40-year naming tradition and kept "Batman" in the title. I'm no author but what's wrong with "Batman: The Dark Knight?"
While I did enjoy watching this movie (Heath Ledger was flawless), It is going to be a hard one for me to watch over and over (A thing that I can do with Tim Burton's Batmans despite that they are dated.) because it is soo long. While I did enjoy this movie, even if Nolan could have shaved off 1/2 hour and given me a better title, this could have been the best Batman movie ever.

This is the best Batman movie EVER. Christian Bale plays an awesome Batman and Heath Ledger is simply breathtaking. He leaves you wanting to see more of the Joker. A truly oscar-worthy performance.
Then, of course, you cannot forget, the "white knight", Harvey Dent.
Aaron Eckhart is amazing. LOVE HIM! 5 stars...great movie!

It's November 20th. Why is it only November 20th?
The Dark Knight drops in a few weeks, but it's so far away. I would very much like to see this film for the third time in my own living space already.
Holy Gadzooks, this movie is awesome. I really am looking forward to seeing Heath Ledger's Joker again in all its disturbed maniacal glory.
Now, it only makes sense that I should watch my copy of Batman Begins again to tide me over until December 9th, but that's not going to do it.
Of course, that is a possibility I may just entertain considering I did that a few times before The Dark Knight's theatrical release.
What I really liked about The Dark Knight besides Ledger's Joker is how the movie went in several different directions all the while remaining to the main plot theme and its central focus.
We saw the development of Two-Face and the conflicts created from a domino effect that occurred through Batman, Alfred and Lucius Fox.
But I'm not here to analyze this fantastic movie, I just want to use this medium as a means to deal with the time between now and then.
You know - the certain satisfaction of having that movie in your hands at the store the day it's released. That one movie that augments your personal library in a way that makes it almost seem complete. I'm not talking to the people who arbitrarily purchase films and such, this is for the folks who only collect those films with high replay value. Films that you watch repeatedly just to catch subtle things you might have missed once before. The films that you take great pleasure in introducing to your friends and family. The films that create a world for you to explore and appreciate, a perfect escape from your reality for a couple of hours.
Damn, I wish it wasn't only November 20th.

Please, people, can we refrain from the mind-numbing synopsis/personal reviews of these titles? The movie was OK (if overlong), but nobody out there is holding off buying this blu-ray (or the regular version, for that matter) until Joe Blow chimes in and tells them why he thinks its worth "5-stars." Amazon - please get your act together and differentiate between the 1080p and 'standard' DVD versions and stop lumping these "reviews" together. The only question is: "How good (or bad) is the transfer?"
