[first lines]
Grumpy:[before a bank heist] Three of a kind, let's do this.
Chuckles:That's it, three guys?
Grumpy:Two guys on the roof. Every guy gets a share. Five shares is plenty.
Chuckles:Six shares, don't forget the guy who planned the job.
Grumpy:He thinks he can sit it out and still take a slice? I know why they call him "The Joker."

An imperishable, spectacular and chaotically-brilliant movie. The Dark Knight possesses the essence that should always exist in the handover from comics to the big screen. Sequence after sequence, this is the absolute glory. A great movie that does not give a single frame to breathe. An ode to chaos and anarchy, while shares are confronted inevitably lead to a path dirty, black and hostile. A real Gotham City, dominated by fear.
This is the best film of the year. Simply, ladies and gentlemen, The Dark Knight belongs to a category where no comic adaptation could enter before.
Thanks Christopher Nolan. Simply, thank you for a film that's a lot more than the typical film based on comic books.
