The Dark Knight
Rating: PG-13
Stars (out of 4): *** 1/2
Length: 2 hours, 32 minutes
Synopsis: "The Dark Knight" is such a moody, dramatic, dead-serious affair that it feels more like a noirish crime thriller than a superhero movie. It's something of a wonder—a Batman movie maintaining such a high dramatic pitch in an era when pop culture deems everything and everyone worthy of satire and mockery.

Writer-director-star Ben Stiller makes a movie about making a movie that no movie-maker should ever have made. And it's a riot. This is the project that Stiller will be known for, a Vietnam War epic satire that all those years spoofing Hollywood, the industry he grew up in and the people who run it, were leading up to. Showtimes, review and more. Watch trailer.
