The Dark Knight is a great film, and if you are among the 12 people who haven't seen it yet, please do so (click here for a complete review).
Of all the Batman films made over the last couple of decades, I think this one stands head and shoulders above them all. I had always given the edge to Tim Burton's original Batman, but The Dark Knight is much better.
Some critics have carped that it is too long, but I don't feel that way at all. The two-and-a-half hours flew by, and all the actor's performances perfectly matched the tone set by the filmmakers. It's too bad Heath Ledger died, because I would have loved to have seen him play the Joker again.
This film is first rate and worthy of Oscar consideration.

I agree it's a fine film, only I found Batman Begins a more fully-realized film, and more fun.
I haven't seen "Dark Knight" yet ... goin' this weekend. I did see Hellboy 2 recently, and I just enjoyed the hell out of it.
I loved the Hellboy comics, and I loved the Hellboy animated stuff. Hellboy 2 was so much like the animated Hellboy that I had to keep convincing myself that I was watching something new.
I saw Iron Mana second time today. Might want to check it out.
I still haven't had time to go see it, maybe this week. I'm SO BEHIND!!
