I had heard mixed reviews about this film,but when i left the theatre there was only one thought on my mind: This is the best film of the year. Zack Snyder has made the impossible and has every right to be called "visionary" for this masterpiece. Think Dark Knight meets 300 meets The Matrix. The acting is top notch,with Haley being the most memorable as the troubled Rorschach. The movie is a complex tragedy with moral dilemas about this fucked up world we now live in. I loved every minute of this movie. Think about what the Comedian always thought when the movie's over and you'll have yourself a laugh.

Christoper Nolan's The Dark Knight may very well be considered the greatest comic book adaptation to date, because this is not just your average action friendly comic book adaptation, this is a a REAL Hero movie. This film goes in depth into the moral dilemmas our society has to face, the true face of evil, and maybe the ocassional good guy/hero. The film is an absolute masterpiece. First off, Heath Ledger is a wonder to behold as Batman's other half, his performance is worth the price of admission alone. He gives a Tour de Force as The Joker, and I think anyone in their right mind wouldn't dare disagree that he deserves at least an ACADEMY AWARDS nomination. But thats not the only highlight of this film. The direction is marvelous, and the cinematography is just, wow, out of this world. Nolan's cinematographer is the same that worked with him in his 2 previos movies(The Prestige and Batman Begins) which they both got OSCAR noms for best cinematography. He doesnt let us down this time. This film is certainly darker than the 1st one, and it has a lot more drama in it. One part in particular is extremely heartbreaking, and made me even shed a tear. In all this chaos, only the Caped Crusader is able to somehow deal with the situation, but at what cost? That's what the Joker asks him during the entire movie. "Are you able to break your 1 rule to save them?" The depths that this movie has, its unlike any I've ever seen in a comic book adaptation. This is the real deal. No flying in to save the girl at the last minute, no petty villains, no happy endings. I think after this movie, others that are soon to follow are going to try and achieve what Christoper Nolan has achieved with this one, a movie that you will not only enjoy, but it will also make you ponder on society itself. AMAZING
