I did initially find Batman's Death-Growl to be a little annoying, but then it does ultimately make sense as he's trying to hide his real voice (listen to it though; Christian Bale could front a Death Metal band). For my money, this is the greatest comic movie ever made, a Godfather Part II for Superheroes, and it will usher in a new age of comic movies.

The best incarnations of Batman, outside of this movie, come from Frank Miller, who's comics define gritty crime drama. As a character born from the pulps, gritty crime drama is in Batman's dna.

The Dark Knight is a "virtuoso vision" but it confounds me that for a film of such masterful craft and intelligent, complex storytelling the word "masterpiece" is not mentioned. So many critics throw that word around on more "serious" oscar-season films but for a so-called "comic book" film they are all too reluctant. If they only knew how difficult it is to make a film on this scale, and the level of commitment it takes to get such high-quality results - but no - they're holding out for some day when there will be a "Super-Director" who will make a perfect film... ... Who could ask for more? I guess everybody should see Hellboy II instead... Overall some good points though... Overall Mr. Wheeler has it right.

So I would just like to say thank you, because apparently you posted around 20 ratings today. And I'm very happy with the four star rating for Hellboy and 4.5 for Dark Knight! So thank you. This has been much anticipated. Ps. On the main entry for Cloverfield, the review is missing. It’s been a very long time since you guys rated any new releases.
