Excellent plot? Check.

Superb acting? Check.

Gripping dialogue and storytelling? Check.

Brilliant direction? Check.

Perhaps one of the greatest movie villains of all time? Check.

Greatest city in North America--and one of the greatest in the entire world--serving as a visible and distinctively identifiable location for the shooting of the movie and rendered glorious, majestic and hauntingly beautiful in the process? Check.

Magnificently related tale about morality without all of the traditional shibboleths one would find in such tales? Check.

One of the smartest movies around and definitely the smartest comic book movie ever made? Check.

Must see movie? Check.
