before i say anything, everybody, if you haven't seen the dark knight as you're reading this, you're highly advised to find your friends and watch that show as soon as possible.

i must say that this show is simply amazing, from the art direction, visual effects to the pace of the movie. gotham city was created to what i thought it would be -- dark and sinister looking, even in the day. it's been a while since i've been to a movie that is paced so well that i didn't even feel a bit restless during the whole movie (and the fact that i actually refused to go to the toilet when i needed to shows it too). christopher nolan has definitely done a good job in setting the mood and the pace of this movie.

an important mention of this movie would be the joker (heath ledger). his performance in the dark knight is simply oscar-worthy. heath ledger really brought out the psychotic and demented side of the joker and you can actually feel it as you're watching the movie. he had simply immortalized (heath ledger died shortly after shooting the movie because of a drug overdoes) the role of the joker and there can never be another batman movie with the joker in it. but whoever is brave enough to try to fill the role that heath ledger had left, better be prepared to take stick for anything that's less than perfect.

overall, i would rate this amazing show 5/5 and i urge each and everyone of you to watch this show, you won't regret it.
