"The Dark Knight" is a sick movie with no morals or good outcome. This movie is too long, the story line is too complicated and the Joker is just too evil. No child should see it. | | | | Reply | | |

Christian Bale and Heath Ledger's performance is outstanding in this film. The film itself is very dark and creepy with a great soundtrack and outstanding visual and special effects. This is a very adult oriented film and I think small children would be confused and disappointed | | | | Reply | | |

There is nothing spectacular about the movie. Only it is proved to be fortunate enough to have gained media hype and attention. | | | | Reply | | |

Movie has caught a great height of success mainly due to the outstanding performance of Heath Ledger. I cannot think any one else other than him in the character of Joker. | | | | Reply | | |

It is one of the best movies that I have ever seen in my whole life. It has unique combination of action, thriller and suspense. It would be a great miss if any one declined to watch the movie. | | | | Reply | | |
tsirtola says @ Saturday - July 26,2008
It is a movie that is packed with action that can give jerk to any weak hearted people. In other others it is not a child's movie , rather it gives tremendous jolt to our psychological as well as emotional faculties. | | | | Reply | | |
