Overwiew :With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.
USA Today - Claudia Puig
: Though it clocks in at 21/2, hours, the film has a notable economy of storytelling and is tautly edited.

"The Dark Knight" is a sick movie with no morals or good outcome. This movie is too long, the story line is too complicated and the Joker is just too evil. No child should see it.
Christian Bale and Heath Ledger's performance is outstanding in this film. The film itself is very dark and creepy with a great soundtrack and outstanding visual and special effects. This is a very adult oriented film and I think small children would be confused and disappointed
Movie has caught a great height of success mainly due to the outstanding performance of Heath Ledger. I cannot think any one else other than him in the character of Joker.
It is one of the best movies that I have ever seen in my whole life. It has unique combination of action, thriller and suspense. It would be a great miss if any one declined to watch the movie.
It is a movie that is packed with action that can give jerk to any weak hearted people. In other others it is not a child's movie , rather it gives tremendous jolt to our psychological as well as emotional faculties.
a great movie-rather the best one this summer!! every aspect of this movie needs to be praised-the story, direction, acting, plot, actions and of course the making of the film.heath ledger's performance as joker is amazing.i think he was the best. the movie is worth the time and money-it holds your interest through the entire film.
