gripping

(spoiler free)

Every once in a while a movie comes along that achieves something. Genre aside, preference aside - it is something that is pure story and pure cinema. The Dark Knight grips you. It gets down deep inside you and grips you. A good story is what it is. It stands on it's own. The Dark Knight is epic story. Not to be confused with a feel-good action adventure film this movie is to be approached as weighty content that will grip your senses and batter your emotions from top to bottom, from beginning to end. The bar has been raised, the standard set.
