Don’t worry, no spoilers here.  If you want spoilers, or if you’ve seen the movie already, click on the link below.  I got into a screening of The Dark Knight last night, in IMAX no less, and it is an absolutely amazing movie.  As a total side note, do they really need to have everyone in those advance screenings check their cell phones?  Who would be satisfied watching this movie in crappy cell phone camera footage?  I highly doubt Warner Bros. would really lose a ton of money if some stuff hit the net a few days before the official release.  But if they really do want to crack down on piracy, it might have made more sense to have ushers keep watch during the movie, instead of having a ton of people waiting for four guys to figure out which cell phone belongs to who afterwards.

Anyway, here’s a brief, spoiler free excerpt from my Dark Knight review:

The Dark Knight didn’t have to deal with the origin story that was covered so well in Batman Begins, but by introducing a villain like the Joker, it forces Bruce to re-examine the nature of what it means to be Batman, just as he thought he had it all figured out. This allows for the character of Bruce Wayne/Batman to evolve, and it adds that much more to an already dense movie.
