Beyond that, critics have gushed about Heath Ledger's startling performance as The Joker in "The Dark Knight." Many people couldn't wait for today's official release and got a sneak peek Wednesday at MacArthur Center in Norfolk. Here's what some of them thought:

 

Rick Valentine, 25, Virginia Beach: "I thought it was excellent."

 

Dave Neidhart, 34, Chicago: "It was awesome."

 

Nikki Fanning, 33, Chesapeake: "It was very good - lots of action. The Joker was my favorite part of it."
