Though The Dark Knight has only been out a week, so many people have seen it already that posting a review now would be redundant.  So, instead, here is my open thank you letter to Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight’s director:

Dear Mr. Nolan,

Thank you for restoring my faith in the Hollywood summer blockbuster.  While viewing The Dark Knight for the first time, I had the feeling that I was experiencing something truly amazing; a feeling I haven’t felt since the original Matrix.

Thank you for taking a character as often portrayed as the Joker and turning him into one of the most frightening movie villains of all time, while never slowing down the film with the obligatory origin story.

Thank you for giving such great attention to the beauty of my hometown of Chicago by filming most of the exteriors in the IMAX format.

Thank you for recasting the role of Rachel Dawes with Maggie Gyllenhaal.  I’m not hating, I’m just saying.

And thank you for finally giving me the strength to put those Joel Schumacher disasters behind me.  My day-glo nightmares are finally over.
