I have just come out of the "Dark Curtain" Screening for The Dark
Knight in Adelaide, and I'm blown away.

Nolan's directing is sublime, the pacing of the movie was so well kept,
managing to keep the audience enthralled in an almost 3 hour movie.
There were several shots in the film that had me saying "Now how in the
hell did they do that?!", Brilliant scores by James Newton Howard and
Hans Zimmer. Every actor shines, no one person steals the film. I don't
want to say much about it, because whatever is said cannot do it
justice, there is enough hype surrounding it's release, but it's there
for a reason. Top Notch film. Bravo to Nolan and his crew for giving a
movie that Batman truly deserves.

9/10.
