the dark knight

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/

i gave it 4/5 stars. it was on par with the previous one. dark knight was basically an entertaining thrill ride, but it was also too long and tried to push too many messages about morals. it was not so egregious that i am unwilling to overlook it. if you ignore the messages about morals, you are left with a pretty highly polished action flick.

in other words, if you do not think about it too much, it is pretty enjoyable. the amount of thinking i did about it in order to write this quickie review has caused me to spot internal inconsistencies and weaknesses in the character portrayals that make me downgrade it to 3/5 stars.
