I really liked this movie. From the very first scene it is going at a fast pace and is full of action. Unlike many super hero movie (cough spiderman cough) The dark knight was not focused on the hero's love life or his internal struggles. In fact the movie wasn't really even centered around the hero at all. This movie was all about the joker and thats what made it amazing. This was the first Heath ledger movie I had ever seen and I was blown away. He really was amazing.
He fully through himself into the part and held nothing back. From his snake like tongue flicking to his Gruesome acts of violence I left the movie wanting to see more of the joker. But unfortunately that won't happen because Ledger died. I really hope that in the next movie they don't give some one else Heath's part. It would be a Terrible mistake.
One thing I don't get is why this movie is rated PG-13. Although the language isn't bad and there isn't much blood, There are a ton of disturbing deaths and many violent fights. This is an R rated movie. I would not recommend it for anyone under age 12. But this is a classic movie and its goes in my top 3.
