Pros: Acting, writing, dialogue, special effects, concept. Cons: None.
I am a fan of Superhero movies. I remember The Dark Knight when it came out in the 1980s amidst huge hype in the comic book industry. The series was believed to be an instant collectors set and the books were snatched up by enthusiasts who ...

Pros: Ledger is brilliant; excellent story; everything else Cons: I wish Harvey Dent was introduced in the first movie instead
Bruce Wayne: "I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight. But this is different. They crossed the line." Alfred Pennyworth: "You crossed the line first, sir. You hammered them. And in their desperation they turned to a man they ...

Pros: Intense, atmospheric, Eckhart, Caine, Freeman, Bale, Oldman, music, cinematography (mostly)... Cons: ... Maggie Gyllenhall, some bad editing, too dark / violent for some...
The Dark Knight is one of the biggest movie releases of 2008 and has had an overall enthusiastic (though slightly mixed) reviews. Don’t think that because I’ve given it 5 stars that this will be fanboy review or comic book fan review ...

Pros: Great performances and direction. Cons: The editing, it's a little long.
Finally, after what seems like an eternity of buzz, waiting, hype, and tragedy, what could easily be the biggest movie of 2008 is upon us: Christopher Nolans second installment in his re-imagining of DC Comics Batman, The Dark Knight. Does this ...

Pros: Strong acting, great script, great special effects and music Cons: None
I tried to see "The Dark Knight" at a sneak preview at midnight last night. All four screens had been sold out so I had to wait until this afternoon. The movie lives up to its hype. As the title of the film suggests, the movie is indeed "dark". There ...

Pros: Excellent acting, cinematography and production value. Cons: The overall theme is a bit to heavy for the kiddies.

Pros: smart story, great twists, Nolan's direction, Ledger's awesome performance Cons: a little long
Most sequels suck. If they can't recapture the magic, the producers at least try to milk the market by either selling the same story flipped - or just bigger and louder. The Dark Knight does none of that. Writer/director Christopher Nolan (Following, ...

Pros: Great pacing, flawlessly inserted special effects, lots of messages, good dialog, great car chase, very_entertaining. Cons: Batman was not developed nor grew through the experiences of the movie.
This is the second movie of the new Batman movie series, and once again they pull it off beautifully. Batman this time around is being hunted down by one of the main villains of Batman lore, The Joker (and the mob). Batman is still the same ...

Pros: excellent performances, interesting themes, solid score, plenty of action Cons: a bit light on the dialog
With film critics giving The Dark Knight positive reviews across the board, and movie theaters sold out across the country, the signs are already irrefutable. The Dark Knight is easily one of the best summer films in years, and maybe even of this ...

Pros: Excellent writing, cast and performances, powerful themes, Best Joker Ever. Cons: It's a long movie. But a good movie.
There's a reason that Batman's still around, nearly seven decades after his creation by Bob Kane. The reasons are all clear in the latest Batman movie, "The Dark Knight." In this undeniably dark movie, director Christopher Nolan delivers, as he did in ...

Pros: Great performances by the cast... Cons: ...but may not live up to hype and expectations
Sometimes a movie's buzz can simply overwhelm expectations. George Lucas learned that painful lesson while resurrecting his Star Wars franchise with a trilogy of prequels after years away. The same might well end up being true of The Dark ...

Pros: Action, Batman, Joker, Plot Cons: Rachel Dawes Replacement
As someone who has seen all of the Batman movies, I feel the need to let everyone know, that I don't have the cape and costume stored at my house. While it is somewhat socially acceptable to wear Spock's ears for a night on the town, I won't be ...

Pros: Beautiful, well-though out film with excellent acting. Cons: Some pacing problems, too much material squeeeezed in.
Ill admit it, I went into The Dark Knight with just a smidge of a bad attitude Batman just isnt my favorite superhero, and I couldnt get past Katie Holmes to truly appreciate Batman Begins. Still, after seeing a Rotten Tomato ...
