The Dark Knight

Finally, I had a chance to see this. The hype has been tremendous, and, while the movie was good, I don't think it lived up to my unreasonably high expectations. Christopher Nolan wanted to produce a very dark film, and I think the plot went the correct way to achieve that. The problem was that they limited the on-screen violence too much. Dark films need to be dark, not PG-13.

Still, I like the tight feel of the story. They integrated several plot elements of the first film into the second, and the switch of lead actress wasn't a problem, even having seen the other film a week ago. I look forward to the next installment.
