Yes, exposing our teenagers to more sick, twisted, sadistic violence is just what they need. And we wonder why our kids are becoming so anti-social. “But if you’re over 13 … it’s a must see.”

Definitely almost an R rating -- don't think kids under 13 should go see it. But if you're over 13 ... it's a must see. Incredible. Ledger is frightening. Bale is a great leading man. Oh, and your supporting cast isn't bad, either; Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhall, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman ... and Eric Roberts!

I've never been a fan because of that reason. I don't like watching movies where I can't see what's happening without a flashlight. A far cry from the old campy TV series. It does make one wonder if Heath Ledger's sleeping and drug problems weren't exacerbated because of the role he had played. Method actors often have to be watchful. Of course his death has elevated the movie in the eyes of his fans, much the same as Brandon Lee's death did with The Crow. I won't be seeing or buying the movie. I'd rather spend my money on the first season of Mork and Mindy. :) But it’s pretty dark stuff.
