Overwhelmed

I'm on sensory overload after seeing "The Dark Knight."
Too much to digest in one setting, for sure.
Suffice to say everything written about Heath Ledger's Joker character are dead on (no pun intended). He's funny, insane, disturbing and genius. The only negative about his portrayal was that it left you wanting more, in some instances making you stray from what was a genuinely original script and plotline.
You knew you were in for a ride when the Joker's magic trick makes a pencil dissapear in a gangster's eye.

However, there are so many twists, turns and plot subtleties that "Dark Knight" is one of the movies you have to see twice (kinda like "Superbad," where it was necessary to see it again just to get all the penis jokes).
And that's not a bad thing.
