Dark Knight compared to Godfather 2
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37214

Some non-spoiler exerpts (THERE ARE SPOILERS AT THE LINK):

Quote:
“The film feels more like a crime drama in a grand city scape than a typical comic book movie. It feels like Heat except Batman is Al Pacino and The Joker is Robert De Niro and just like in that film we have a great scene between Heath Ledger and Christian Bale across a table. There is also an element of a Greek Tragedy.. There is a vast sense of morality at play within the film.”

“The Joker is almost more of a terrorist than criminal. He is not motivated by money. He wants to see people suffer.”

“The run time is two and a half hours. It doesn’t feel that long as there is so much going on within the film.”

This is also his first entirely linear film and he proves
himself to be a gifted storyteller and a master of utilising film as a
visual medium. He fills each frame with so much scope and detail. You
can tell he is enjoying himself with the amount of money he is being
allowed to play with and wants to better himself and the franchise.
Although this movie doesn't feel like an instalment in a franchise.
The best thing I can think of for comparison is The Godfather Part 2.
Interesting. The Godfather Part II is broken up throughout with flashbacks - making it non-linear.

This is the ONLY movie I'm looking forward to seeing this summer, and probably the only one I'll actually see in the theater.

Sucks that they're not releasing it until the middle of friggin July.

Probably to give it a little breathing room from the other blockbusters in May/June


BTW, that opening IMAX sequence that played last year in front of "I am Legend" was awesume.

Cant wait.

It might even be somewhat better than The Happening.

If you haven't seen it yet (not sure it's even in theaters anymore), but Ironman is definitely worth a look.
