just got back from seeing it. WOW!! i absolutely loved it. i usually avoid movies that get so hyped up, but curiosity got the better of me and i'm glad it did. beautifully shot, and just so freaking dark and twisted. that's what i loved about hte original batman, and this has that same spirit going. it's nice to see an action movie that is also intelligent...amazing! lol

and heath's performance....he makes nicholson's joker look like ronald mcdonald in comparison. total sadist....works perfect.

i already can't wait to see it again!

saw it this afternoon....excellent!



quite honestly, with bale and nolan in future batman flicks, i truly DO believe they can still make solid, great films...so i look forward to the next installment!


soooooo well done! ledge was brilliant, but to be fair to nicholson, there really is no comparison. this film and the batman flick that nicholson was in, soooooo different. while this was dark yer 'real'......that batman was over-the-top and a far campier flick. obviously, while the same character....very different batmans, very different jokers....and written that way, not simply acting alone. i far prefer ledger, simply b/c i far prefer the newer batman flick's style and content.

I agree that Batman's voice was annoying. Still a very good movie.

i saw it again today and i think it was better the second time around. i noticed a few signs that Two-Face might have always been around, and the story seemed to flow better and the ending made more sense. Bat's voice didnt bother me as much either. great movie.

my guess is in the next one Batman will get his chance to shine, instead of being a supporting character in this one.

The Dark Knight is simply amazing. I hate when sequels get compared to Empire Strikes Back or Godfather II, but this film deserves it. It is probably the best film I've seen in theaters since Pulp Fiction, it takes a genre bordering on wearing out and turns it on it's ear. it goes so much deeper than a comic book film has ever gone. It's a fucking masterpiece.

Phantom Pain

It broke the record !!

Excellently put !

I couldn't agree more

Its more of a crime/drama then a comic book movie

every time it was showing Batman I wanted it to go back to Joker

just got back. AWESOME movie!

Joker lived up to the hype but I was really impressed with Two-face as well. especially the design of his face.

i've seen it twice and i still can't put into words how awesome it was to write a decent review.

Dont believe the hype about Heath Ledgers Joker. Why? Because they under sell it. Ledger was brilliant as the joker. A psychopath. The interrogation room scene was probably my favorite. The jokers speech to dent in the hospital scene was also bad ass.

I also loved this bit!!

joker: asks the cop "how many of your friends have i killed?"

cop: i'm a cop of 20 years. i know the difference between a punk who needs to learn a lesson and a freak like you who would just enjoy it. you killed six of my friends."

joker: (he mouths)............... six.

fanfreakin awesome!!!

Eckhart was great too. His angry moments are something else. I loved his portrayal of Harvey. His transformation into two face was heart-breaking. I have never felt that before. For me he completely nailed it.

I've read a bit of criticizm over bales voice, but it didn't bother me. Not at all. I mean he's batman, he's got to disguise his voice to conceal his identity. Jeez darth vaders voice was a little hard to understand for some, but i think most people would blow him if given the opportunity .

It's easily my favorite movie of the summer so far and definitely my favorite film of the last couple of years.

I’ve often worried that Nolan would be one of those directors who’s work will always appreciated but never rewarded, this should be the final wake up call to Hollywood that this man is one of the most gifted in the industry.

I have not seen it, but I hope to see at the Imax this week if I can get in. I love Christian Bale, but I guess the whole Batman thing is the mystery and I find it quite .........attractive.

I'm downloading a torrent of a bootleg of this. I hope it's good. I'm sure as hell not going to pay to see it every day until the DVD comes out!

I hated the voice he used for Batman, but other then that it was a great movie.

im confident they will do one more... and as long as it involves nolan, bale, caine, and freeman it will be just as good as the past 2... i just cant figure out which bad guy theyll use if they do 1 more... being the last of a trilogy it would have to be pretty big... and the joker is really as big as they come

Well...when they did Begins. I'm fairly certain Nolan, Bale, Oldman, Caine, and Freeman signed on for three films.

Bale recently said he is in it as long as Nolan is in it.

I think there will probably one more Nolan film to round out the trilogy...then after that who knows. Just pray it doesn't end up in the hands of Joel Shumaker or something.

good movie. joker by FAR takes the cake on this one. pretty much all the best scenes were with him in em.

Oh god no!.. The way this one ended up, there has to be at least one more.. I think they have at least one more of good story telling left in them and should probably leave it at that..

At the current rate, we probably won't see it til 2011.. doesn't the world end in 2012? Hopefully we'll get another Batman before then! Give us a little hope by leaving Batman off as the good guy.

Isn't Eddie a big Batman fan? Wonder if he threw in a few comments in this thread..
