The Dark Knight broke box office records last weekend with it's debut gross of $158 million dollars and it maintained that momentum with another $75 million this weekend. It's stellar performance was expected if only because it's inherent status as a summer movie blockbuster sequel to a commercially exceptional first installment. However, after seeing the movie its accolades and praise cannot be understated because the movie is a superior piece of cinema for several reasons. Most notably The Dark Knight is provocative and indelible because of one actor's dynamic interpretation of a classic villain. Heath Ledger assumes the Joker so completely that you cannot imagine another adopting the role prior to or ever again. The film is darker than it's PG-13 rating but you must see this movie. Alright I'm done with my Ebert and Roeper bit.
