Saw The Dark Knight last night at midnight. It was freaking amazing. I already have (vague) plans to see it again. Don't listen to people when they say "Blah blah blah it was too long/too drawn out/wtf was that plot because I don't get it." It was all necessary, and there was not one wasted minute. I'm biased, but I've asked people who aren't, and they feel the same.

Heath Ledger has been my favorite of the Jokers', hands down. Aaron Eckhart was great as Harvey Dent - scenes he was in he just captivated. Unless he was in a scene with the Joker because, holy crap. This was Heath Ledger's movie. It was, hands down, his show. Christian Bale was great as both Batman and Bruce Wayne, and showed the struggle of being both very nicely. He's still a young Batman, and I'm really looking forward to how they have him grow into the role. He's not quite there yet, because he doesn't realize that there will always be need for Batman as long as Gotham stands. He starts to at the end of the movie, though.
