Movie: "Batman: The Dark Knight"
Review: 5 bill-stars Web site: thedarkknight.warnerbros.com

Well, wow. It's just as advertised... see it at the IMAX.
It's the fastest 2 1/2 hours this side of the Mississippi.

I hesitated on the elusive 5 bill-star rating because the movie isn't perfect. I didn't like some of the comic book themes of the story, and Maggie Gyllenhall (?) is the weak link in her wilting portrayal of an unattractive flavor of Katie Holmes.

But the movie is so over the top good in so many other areas:
  • Great action scenes
  • Stunningly beautiful... Chicago looks great!
  • Outstanding acting: Heath Ledger, Christian Bale and almost all the supporting cast
  • Great story, characters, and script
Hey, it was really different, and it was really good... that's the money.
I'll bet you a dollar that I go to see it again.
five stars... yow, bill
