So early last week, I managed to buy some IMAX tickets to see The Dark Knight Sunday evening at 7pm.  And boy o boy was it a good idea to buy those tickets so early, as the whole weekend quickly sold out.

And not only did the 7pm showtime sell out, Nashvillians and the like starting showing up for the show in question at like 5pm to stand in that all-too-familiar IMAX line.  When it finally came time to enter the theater, the security guard was a little too much on the eager side and almost took out a member of my party who was trying to get inside.

But it was all worth it in the end.  The Dark Knight lived up to any expectations with a solid plot, well-written script and beautifully preformed acting by boh Christian Bale and the late & talented Heath Ledger.  Compare this film to the George Clooney Batman’s and you’ll be hard-pressed to find any fault in the much-less-hokey Knight.

The Dark Knight itself blazed through the weekend with a record-setting $155.3 million, putting Spider-Man in the dust as the best opening weekend ever on the records.

So, you tell me, what did you think of the newest Batman film?
