Just came from seeing this. Even going in with high expectations, I was still amazed. It completely goes beyond a "comic book movie" and is simply a great film, period.
The praise for Ledger is certainly not overstated, but Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent was great, too. I managed to stay completely spolier-free, so his role in the movie was a surprise.
So much was happening, but all the story and character elements were handled perfectly, without becoming muddled and confusing.
At first I assumed Ramierez was Montoya, from the comics and animated series, although considering what happens with her character, I'm glad she wasn't (as an aside, Dent is obsessed with Montoya in the comics).
Poor little kids who get taken to this movie are going to have nightmares for weeks! I now question the wisdom of giving away mini-Jokers in boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (even though I have three).
I am eternally grateful to this movie (and Batman Begins) for snuffing out the painful memory of those that came before it.

R works when I have days off and vice versa.
I went by myself.
