Released on July 18th (the date of this post), the film has already broken records. The midnight showing broke the record that previously Star Wars Episode III held for total profits. The film overall is utterly and insanely amazing.
To quell any fears anyone has of seeing this film: see it now. It's not the kind of film you want to wait for on DVD. In fact, the minute you get out of the theater, you want to buy it on DVD. If they marketed it so you could buy the DVD/Blu-Ray the moment you walked out of the theater, chances are they'd be sold out a dozen times over.
As for the plot: I'm not saying a word. It's got an amazing cast and the performances are stunning; Heath Ledger's Joker will likely earn him a postmortem Oscar. He was nothing short of astonishing.
It's hard to flesh out this blog post without spoiling, so I'll end prematurely and say The Dark Knight earns a 1,000,000/10.
