Fan5/5

This is one of those movies that gets better every time I watch it. The story is gripping, the action is intense, and Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is unforgettable. He completely steals every scene he's in. Even if you're not a huge superhero fan, this movie is worth watching because it's much more than that. It's easily one of my all-time favorites.
