"TheDark Knight" is the most anticipated summer movie and a good spin off to its sequel “BatmanReturns”. The anticipation of this summer blockbuster comes with a lot of surprises that includes the appearance of the late Heath Ledger in his lead role as the Joker. "The Dark Knight" is a feel good edge of your seat-entertaining movie that is sure to keep your attention. Moreover after watching this movie it left me with a feeling of anxiety.
While “The Dark Knight” is a very good movie, and is indeed a good spin off to its sequel ”Batman Returns” it's a bit long, the running time for this movie is 2:30. However, audiences will not find a moment of boredom in “The Dark Knight”. The late Heath Ledger carries this movie to its many heights of success in his charismatic role as the joker. Ledger brings on many flavors of comedy, chills, and a gripping role that grabs the attention of his audiences intensely, keeping them on their edge of their seats with laughter and shock. On the other hand, Christian Beale in his lead role as The Dark Knight isn’t as captivating, he's boring and portrays an uncharacteristic role as the movie's super hero and cape crusader of Gotham City.
Synopsis of Movie

Christopher Nolan directed this film and provided excellent direction with sets, action scenes, costuming and a workable cast of good actors “The Dark Knight” is a must see.
