    Greatest movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    From start to finish it was a mesmerising epic cinematic treat.I know now why I was put on this planet for.From Heath Ledger to Christian Bale,the entire cast give it their all I have never seen so many strong performances in one film.If they top this one which I don't think is possible I would probable pass out.You have got to see it to believe it.The film is perfect,perfection has been achieved which I thought was impossible.Christopher Nolan I salute you and everybody involved.It's that good,I cannot wait to watch it again,and I cannot wait to own a copy hopefully on blu-ray which would be amazing.Heath Ledger RIP
