Just saw it last night, thought I'd give a quick review.
There was a ton of hype about this movie. That, and the fact that (in my opinion) Batman Begins was so good, I was kinda worried that the movie might just flop.
It didn't disappoint at all. Heath Ledger was fucking awesome, easily a better Joker than Jack Nicholson. He basically ran the whole movie. The rest of the cast is stellar as well.
It's not some stupid comic flick with a bunch of campy humor or anything, it's very dark and sadistic. The ending was a little different, but once you get out of the theater and think about what the movie was trying to tell us about ourselves, you start to really appreciate how well put together the film was.
A great aspect to the movie is that it's CONSTANTLY changing pace. You can never guess what's about to happen next, so it makes the run time (2 and a half hours) seem to go by fast. It was highly entertaining and well worth spending a Saturday night watching.
Anyways, that's the gist of it, without giving too much away. It was a really kick ass movie. Just thought I'd share
