| [Opening 7/18] Taking on the bad guys is starting to take its toll on the Caped Crusader (Christian Bale), as he carries a weight on his shoulders that's heavier than his suit. For a movie full of exploding buildings and car chases, Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is the movie's most jolting, electrifying sight. When he's talking to people about his nihilistic beliefs, he scarily begins to make sense. ''The Dark Knight'' is that extremely rare summer movie in which the ideas are as big as the thrills. Does director Christopher Nolan pull it all off? Not entirely. But we should be glad that somebody in Hollywood is trying. (C.D.L.) 2 hours, 22 minutes. | ||

| Action | some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and language | |
| Will Smith portrays an alcoholic superhero and Jason Bateman is the PR guy who tries to revamp his image. The movie is frayed and messy, the result of too many people coming and putting dents in something that was promising to begin with. (C.D.L.) 1 hour, 32 minutes. | ||

| Hellboy II: The Golden Army | PG-13 | |
| Sci-Fi | sci-fi action and violence, and some language | |
| Even with the wall-to-wall destruction, titanic monsters and dizzying fight sequences this movie doles out, seeing the titular, cigar-chomping, wise-cracking freak of nature (played once again by Ron Perlman) get hammered and sing along to Barry Manilow's ''Can't Smile Without You'' is the movie's most awesome sight. But all that other stuff works, too. (C.D.L.) 1 hour, 50 minutes. | ||
