Two hours and 32 minutes long, “The Dark Knight” is grimly magisterial. It’s a summer blockbuster that contemplates near-total civic disaster… On top of this are laid themes of moral complexity that make “Hellboy II” and “The Incredible Hulk” look like, well, comic books. The question of whether a true hero is a due-process man like Harvey Dent or a “dark knight” who breaks the rules and gets innocent people killed is worried at throughout the film, building to a climax that forces us to confront exactly what murdering someone might do to the average man’s soul.
Ty Burr critic for the Boston Globe on the Dark Knight. I recommend you see it in IMAX, many of the best scenes were shot in that huge screen, ideal to fully enjoy the amazing grandeur of this epic blockbuster.
