Just the summary's and links as many of them go on and on....
Cinemablend: ***** (of 5) Forget the great things you’ve heard about The Dark Knight. No matter how lavish the praise or how determined the hyperbole, it’s all understatement. The Dark Knight is I suppose the greatest superhero movie ever made, but it’s so far beyond the limited men in tights genre that attempting to compare it with movies like Spider-Man, Superman, or even Batman Begins is almost laughable. Director Christopher Nolan’s film trumps everything and everyone, including himself. It’s not just the best superhero movie ever made, it’s one of the best movies ever to show up in a theater.
TIME Magazine: The Dark Knight is bound to haunt you long after you've told yourself, Aah, it's only a comic-book movie.
Variety: An ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity, this is seriously brainy pop entertainment that satisfies every expectation raised by its hit predecessor and then some.
Rolling Stone: The haunting and visionary Dark Knight soars on the wings of untamed imagination. It's full of surprises you don't see coming. And just try to get it out of your dreams.
ComingSoon.net: 9/10 Nolan hasn't redefined the superhero genre as much as created an unforgettable piece of crime fiction within the context of that realm.
Holllywood Reporter: One nervy blend of top entertainment and thoughtful character study.
Horror.com: Martin Scorsese's The Departed. Michael Mann's Heat. Brian de Palma's The Untouchables. And now, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight can join the list of one of the most absorbing and intense crime dramas in modern movie milestones. It just happens to be set in the fictional gritty city of Gotham, and just happens to feature a superhero wearing a bat-suit and an arch-villain in clown makeup.
Entertainment Weekly: A- good and evil aren't just separate forces — at times, they're a whisper away from each other — and the movie exudes a predatory glamour that makes the comic-book films that have come before it look all the more like kid stuff.
Dark Horizons: a gritty crime saga the likes of which Michael Mann or Martin Scorsese would be proud to call their own
