    I read somewhere that Nolan has enough stock footage of Ledger as the Joker to have him in the third movie.

    That would be fuckin awesome

    No one else can play the joker now...imo

    Number 1 in IMDB?? That's a fucking joke.. that list is worthless. The movie was good and Heath was good... but it could have been better. I thought Batman Begins had a better script. I definitely didn't leave the theater amazed like I did after I saw Fight Club or the Shawshank Redemption.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    As I've noted on the Dark Knight imdb board......people who care about the imdb top 250 are the biggest losers in the world.

    you should see some of the people on that board dude. it's ridiculous. I went there last night trying to talk about the film and it was flooded with trolls complaining about the rating.

    "The Godfather is better!!! How is Dark Knight rated ahead of The Godfather!?!?!?!"

    yeah, no shit the Godfather is better. but those fags never consider the following:

    Average Godfather fan: ages 40-60
    Average Dark Knight fan: ages 13-30

    Now who spends more time on the internet voting in movie polls?

    I gave Dark Knight a 9 on the rating but changed it to 10 when I saw how many people really are offended by the fact that it's #1. they're pathetic.

    Is it way too early to wish this was out on DVD already?

    No,


    I hope XBOX comes up with a Blu-Ray add-on, I'm stuck with the HD-DVD's

    I would totally buy a stand alone Blu-Ray player when this comes out on DVD and start building my collection around this.

    This is the most overrated movie of all time. I had a great time watching it, but it is nowhere near a 9 out of 10.

    this movie can never be fairly and rationally rated by most people because of all the hype, the HUGE scale of it, and heath ledgers death

    ill give it a few years and rewatch to see what i really think of it

    right now though i think i love it for all the right reasons... still not one of my favorite movies though (like someone already mentioned fight club and shawshank)

    There were obvious flaws to the movie to be sure. With most things I think time will tell that it's a solid 6 or 7 out of ten. With the sad state of movies and even sadder state of comic book movies, that's really good.

    There are obvious flaws in every movie. If you went in thinking this was going to be The Departed or No Country for Old Men, you may have been dissapointed. And even those movies had flaws. I know plenty of people that think those movies were just OK. I think this may be the best comic adaptation to date. For overall entertainment, maybe the best I have seen in a while. And I think Ledger was just as good or maybe even better than Bardem was last year.

    I think if he's alive today, you don't make that statement

    i think its sad that there will always be this shadow of a doubt because of his death... cause i can honestly say i agree that he was better... and i dont care that hes dead... didnt really have a personal relationship with the guy so i see him no more frequently now than i did when he was alive... and i hated everything he did before this so i have no reason to love his performance in this other than that it was phenomenal

    Exactly. It's not like I was a huge fan of Heath Ledger before he died or anything, so his death really did nothing for me. I just saw his performance and thought it was amazing.

    And I'm sorry, but what the fuck do people have to complain about this movie?

    fight scenes could have been a lot better
    batman talks funny
    there was no point to the Asian character in terms of plot
    the two-face character never develops

    oh how soon we forget! :p
    there are sooooo many movies that were over-hyped and over-rated.




    i loved this movie for what it is. in the comic-book action genre, i definitely give it a 9 out of 10. my husband would agree with you though. he liked it a lot, but wasn't completely wowed....and yes, he thought it too long. i loved it as is.
    Stay with me...

    The fact that it topped Spiderman 3 which previously had the biggest opening weekend, makes your point all the more valid.

    you're on your own there buddy! there isn't a lot to complain about at all.

    The Two-Face character btw was meant to be a lead-in to the next film anyways.....the fact that they even showed his face that much in the end surprised me.

    I just saw it again and it was even better.


    The asian character has a lot to do with the plot, what are you talking about?


    And Dent was always two-face, it just took getting half his face burned off for him to realize it.


    And the Batman voice doesn't bother me only because it took me a while to get used to it in Begins..but now I'm cool with it.

    how? I thought the fight scenes were perfectly fine and there were plenty of them.

    He has to disguise his voice. You'd actually rate a movie a lower score for that?
    there was no point to the Asian character in terms of plot
    People would say the same thing about Mr. Reese. I think the whole point is that Chris Nolan tries to tie everything together. With Mr. Reese, he tries to make it as realistic as possible, in that someone always finds out this kind of shit and would try to go to the media with it or something. The Asian guy, other than the fact that he was important for the Joker to find out where all the money was, and that he played as a necessary example for Harvey Dent having a witness and not doing absolutely nothing to solve the cases, his capture also was the main reason that the mob bosses had no funds, which, I think, was essential to the story. Maybe there was no character development for him, but who the fuck needs character development for some random Asian guy when you have so many others? :p
    the two-face character never develops
    I can see why you'd think that, but I think his character develops very nicely. (I also think they're saving him for the next movie)...

    Most of these are opinions, obviously, so don't take it personally. I'm not saying you're lying or anything, I'm just getting your take on it and sharing my own...:)
