"Dark" is right. Christopher Nolan's sequel to his Batman Begins is not only dark; it is searing and disturbing. The bad guys are very, very bad. These are not guys who do bad things because that is the only way for them to get what they want. These are...read the complete Dark Knight, The (2008) review at Beliefnet (Nell Minow)

Many people credit this movie's success to its fantastic actors, but this movie would have gotten nowhere without the ingenious and somewhat twisted minds of the Nolans. Evidence of this can be found in the first Batman flick, which is just as ...

I thought this one was a really great movie I used to watch all of the old Batman and thought they were so awesome, but the way that they're making them now is unbelievable. My favorite character out of Batman is the Joker in all of the previous ...

Personally, I thought this movie had all the elements of a great super hero movie. Nothing was unrealistic, acting was superb, action didn't take away from the plot and meaning of the movie, and so on. ...

In looking at the past Batman movies, this one has to rank up there. There are just a few things that didn't really seam to click with me. I didn't understand the voice of Batman. It seamed like sometimes he was in the deep voice and sometimes ...

Great show! I'm still undecided as to which one was better the first one (the remake) or this one. I'm probably going to have to go with Dark Knight since the acting from Heath Ledger was probably one of the best I have seen in a very long ...

Like most people, I agree that The Dark Knight is a sweet movie, and I can't really think of anything bad to say about it. Having said that, I don't think it's an improvement over Batman Begins. If I had to compare the two, I'd say ...

This was a great movie. Heath did a wonderful job as the Joker. While the movie is longer, or aleast feels longer than most it is a good story that keeps your interest. If you are a comic book fan, you will enjoy this movie. ...

By far the best action hero movie made to date. Great Story, Great Acting, Great everything. This one will be in my collection for years to come. ...
by Tetramobile on July 17, 2009
I have to say that I enjoyed this movie far better than the first one. I don't know why movies think that they need to get the entire origin story in a film. That's just not for good entertainment. We need action and this one brings ...

When I went to see this movie for the first time, I had very low expectations because Batman Begins wasn't in my taste. I am not Christian Bale's biggest fan, but I love super hero movies. To my surprise the movie turned out to be very entertaining. It's ...
