[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

ISM used the word that came to mind as the credits rolled on Dark Knight:

Brilliant!

Spoiler:

Some thoughts -

- It took a while for me to get into Joker. For the most part it was Heath (Dead) Ledger. However there were 2 scenes of amazing depth of character,the 2nd being the hanging upside down scene. Fantastic. My issue is that he wasn't the Joker I know from the comics. Nicholson really wasn't either, so it's dissapointing we haven't seen that yet. Ledger deserves recognition for the role but I, myself, would not say Oscar.

- I like Bale but I don't like his "Batman voice." Lame

- Eckhart was great. I thnk this is the only film I've liked him.

- Love the connection to Batman Begins villain Scarecrow

- Gary Oldman is so very much James Gordon as I know him in the comics. Amazing job.

- Maggie G. I was more sorry that the character from BB died than her performance.

The film is excellent and a great representation of what "Comic book" movies should be. Not the special effects or fight scenes, but in the effect that its about character and story. I can only hope future films learn that there is a heart to "Comic book" films and not the crap like Daredevil or X-Men.

One of the top 5 best comic book films. Very close to overpowering the '89 Burton Batman film.
