Pros: Heath Ledger.
Cons: Hard to follow the storyline.
Summary: My name is Robin and I was born in 1963. I don't think there is any way I could have grown up without loving the Batman and Robin TV show. Heck, the main character was named after me. Because of this, I was quite happy when the Batman ... read more

Pros: Special effects and new gadgets are always a plus.
Cons: Lots of implied violence.
Summary: I have been a fan of super spy and super hero movies for as long as I can remember. Ever since James Bond had come out on the big screen picture circuit and seeing Batman comic books, I have been intrigued with the excitement that it brings to the ... read more

Pros: Best film this year period.
Cons: Heath Ledger won't be back for another one. when's the next film?
Summary: To call THE DARK KNIGHT a better film than BATMAN BEGINS is a huge understatement. It plays out like HEAT just that it is set in the BATMAN universe. It moves the superhero film into the realm of serious crime drama. The film goes darker than the first ... read more

Pros: Good acting (you knew that), substantial, good plot and action scenes
Cons: For a guy who doesn't kill, Batman's a bit reckless...
Summary: I must say, as a person who doesn't believe the hype he hears, and more often than not only goes to see movies based on his own impression of the trailers/summaries, I was taken completely by surprise by "The Dark Knight". I hadn't even seen "Batman ... read more

Pros: See it in IMAX, lots of action, great acting, good storyline Cons: very intense, very dark, suited for adults more than kids
Summary: A few weeks ago I watched the Dark Night on it's opening night at the IMAX in Harrisburg. WOW - what a way to watch a movie. The IMAX version is very intense, as it includes shots that actually fill the entire IMAX screen - a much larger screen that ... read more

Pros: Nolan and his cast surpass everything they did before.
Cons: The central theme of the movie is not well developed.
Summary: ...is usually punctualized by one good thing, one-pop culture whirlwind that takes everybody's expectations and elevates them to the level of its own marvelous quality. This summer was indeed plagued by a good number of very bad movies, a lot of them I ... read more

Pros: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, loads of action
Cons: awful plot, terrible writing, some poor acting by supporting characters, terrible effects
Summary: I am a huge Christian Bale fan since I saw him in "Swing Kids" about fifteen years ago. I have also grown up watching Heath Ledger who I've always, quite frankly, admired for his attractiveness. I watched the first Batman movie and absolutely LOVED it. ... read more

Pros: Edge-Of-Your-Seat Action & Suspense
Cons: Brief moments of Mild Language. Might be too intense for children.
Summary: I finally got to see The Dark Knight early this afternoon. I’ve been fairly busy, so I my plan on seeing it opening night soon faded away. I wasn’t too thrilled when Batman Begins was announced. After all, almost every Batman film made ... read more

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing, just don't bring the little ones.
Summary: Heath Ledger, the joker? You’ve got to be kidding! That was what I was thinking when I first heard he had been cast for the role, but then again I was skeptical of Christian Bale as Batman too. Know that I have seen it I have to admit, he ... read more

Pros: every thing about this movie is a pro
Cons: not a single one
Summary: To start off, this was one of the few movie I have ever seen (over 2 hours and 15 minutes) that don't feel like they are dragging on. The whole time I was in the theater I kept checking my watch, not because I couldn't wait to get out, but because I ... read more

Pros: Great movie full of excitment
Cons: None!!!
Summary: Let me start out by saying wow, this movie is full of action and some scenes were to cry for! literally. The one thing that bums me is knowing that Heath Ledger was not there to see his success. I wish him all the best where ever he is. The movie has an ... read more

Summary: The phenonenom known as TDK is potentially the film that will sink the Titanic, as the top go-getter in money. Everyone is stumped by how well this new Batman Movie is doing. In all honesty, and all Batman bias aside, I am not surprised at all. In ... read more
