This movie was without a doubt one of the best movie I have ever had the pleasure to experience in a movie theater. Other considerations for "best movie theater experience" movies would be Sin City, Cloverfield, Jurassic Park, There Will Be Blood, The Matrix (on opening weekend way before the sequels), and Fight Club.
I was completely mesmerized and sucked in from the beginning to the end. I had a certain level of expectation from the hype surrounding the movie for the last nine months (even before Heath Ledger died) and I can honestly say that it did not disappoint and even went beyond my expectations. Having only recently seen Batman Begins (which I enjoyed), I must say that if you enjoyed Batman Begins, you will absolutely have an orgasm over Dark Knight. Even if you didn't care for the original, you'll probably still enjoy Dark Knight.
I'm not going to say much about the movie overall, as I don't want to spoil anything whatsoever, but Heath Ledger as The Joker was beyond description. He is natural in the role and fleshes out one of the most frightening, if not, most truly villainous fictional characters of all-time (Anton Chigurh comes to mind as a close tie).
In addition to that, Dark Knight manages to maintain a consistent blend of being not only realistic on an emotional response level, but also maintaining that fantastic superhero/supervillain feel that separates it from other comic books that focus entirely on the supernatural without much substance outside of being fantastic or surreal.
Basically, what it boils down to is that this movie is one hell of a theatre experience, well acted, well paced, beautiful, fun, exciting, and everything a comic book movie should be. Watch it, love it, watch it again, love it again.
edit: Up until this point, Sin City has been one of my favorite comic book/graphic novel adapted movies and I have to admit that Dark Knight may very well have surpassed it. Though only time will tell.
