TRUE DUDES REVIEW:

This is an amazing movie.  This is definitely the year of the great comic book movies, and The Dark Knight is right there with the rest.  Dark, brutal and surprising, this film is a must see.

It’s the performances that make this film.  Christian Bale, once again, is great in his role as the caped crusader.  And Gary Oldman does (as always) a nice job reprising his role of Jim Gordon.  But it’s Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent and Heath Ledger as The Joker that really make this film surpass the 2005 Batman Begins.  Their performances are nothing short of astonishing.  Also the film is filled with surprises and tension.  And the ending is extremely dark and depressing.  I can’t wait for part 3.  My only complaint is the run time.  While I was never bored, the film is lengthy.  The long periods of time between action scenes make it more noticeable.

True Dudes gives The Dark Knight 4 out of 5 middle fingers.
