i agree the pencil triick is great. Heath was great It sucks he won't be i nthe next film he owned the role.
i saw an interview with him and they were asking if he talked to nolan about how to play it. he said within five minutes of being asked to play the joker he knew how he wanted to act the part. i thought it was interesting that was his idea....because it really was the perfect joker. he played it with a perfect mix of humor and pure psychotic.
great movie. joker was wicked, his little magic trick was awesome.
the film went out for like 10 minutes and when they brought it back it didnt have sound for like another 5 which really sucked. and they didnt even refund us the ticket or give us one for another time. its happened before and they gave us a free ticket to any movie afterwards.
so i kinda have to see it again from when joker got on the bus to the bar scene i have no clue what happened.
ledger owns the joker, sorry jack you lost the title. every scene with the joker was awesome. they did a great job writing that character and ledger just made it better.
i wanna see it again now!!!
I will see it again a couple of weeks from now when things settle down.
Got to the theatre quater to eleven for the midnight show, and me and 5 other people I came with were forced to sit in the 1st row.People were there after 5pm, can u believe that, for just a seat up top. So the fight sequences were a little tough to see who's ass was getting kicked. I was blown away how big the picture was on the IMAX Dome,
Also kudos for the opening part, I felt like I was gonna hit the building
Also Cradle of Aviation Imax theatre on Long Island where I saw the film had the original 1960's TV show Batmobile, I snapped a few photos on my camera phone
Saw the midnight screening last night...was totally blown away. Now, I'm going at noon. Seeing it twice in 12 hours is a bit much, but it's Friday and I don't feel like being at work.

and i thought it was bad with twice in 24 hours! i'm seeing it again tonight at 6:30....and i can't wait!!!

Couldn't agree more. As good as Ledger was, the script was just as good. Perfect combination.
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.
"So: Is the performance on a par with "Brokeback Mountain"? In its interiority - in the sense that it springs from a mysterious engine at the actor's core - yes. Is it Oscar worthy? Sure, if that's how you measure these things. In the end, though, the achievement's more than that, or harder. It makes you mourn a gifted man's stupid death with fresh and vigorous sorrow."
it's true. i know some people think it's sad to mourn over celebrities we didn't even know.... but mostly this movie made me come away feeling so sad again about the loss of heath...it really is such a waste of huge talent.
i am pyched to read it truly delivers! really looking forward to seeing it! for whatever reason, the batman series is really the only comic book based movie character i ever got into and truly enjoyed the films. also just got 4 free movie passes for my firm, definitely will be using 2 for hubby and i to go see this! however, gonna wait a bit...hate being in packed theatres. so most definitely have to be careful round here and not read any spoilers!

i really was never into any of em, i just love the batman films. and after the last, batman begins.....i definitely thought the whole franchise was taking a turn for the even better! it's great when such a flick is actually spectacular!
summer is usually a downer of a time for me film-wise...all those kiddie flicks, mindless blockbusters....so always glad when one fits the 'blockbuster' genre AND actually manages to be fantastic too!
The Dark Knight grossed the most ever for midnight shows, earning a massive $18.5 million from 3,040 theaters. The number did not include the 3:00 a.m. and 6 a.m. showings.
The Batman Begins follow-up broke the previous midnight record set by 20th Century Fox's Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith which grossed $16.9 million from 3,663 theaters. "Sith" went on to make $50 million in its first day, which was a Thursday. The highest single day opening record is currently held by Sony's Spider-Man 3, which made $59.8 million.
This morning, The Dark Knight expanded into a record 4,366 theaters.

INCREDIBLE MOVIE! ledger made the movie for sure! and im not just saying that cause he died... it was really a perfect portrayal...
two face looked great too!
overall it was just a great plot and stands alone nicely on its own (as any good sequal should)... and it was great to recognize all the chicago scenery
yep saw it again, got to see the scenes that got messed up, but it was worth seeing again. i think there was been but a handful of movies ive seen more than once in theaters.
for all the darkness of the movie there are nicely placed jokes and stuff just to keep it from going too bleak. nolan deserves alot of credit for the pacing of the film.
6 months left but im gonna have to say, movie of the year!
just returned, and seeing it again Monday with my brother. Great movie, one of the few I've ever seen that lives up to the hype. Everyone is great in the movie, story is very well done, forget that's it's a comic book movie, it's an even better movie than Batman Returns. One of the best sequals ever.

cant wait for part III! whose next? penguin?
I think I read somewhere that Nolan isnt gonna do Penguin or Robin, if he does a 3rd movie at all
I'm sure if there is another film it will probably be the last for Nolan, to create a Trilogy Batman Fans can be proud of
BTW great film w/ some great performances...Bring on the DVD

as far as bad guys go... there not a whole lot left for them to work with that isnt totally cheesy... penguin - no, riddler - no, mr. freeze - hell no, etc... if they do a 3rd (and i agree it would and ultimately should be the last) im not sure what theyll do... but i think a 3rd is necessary and intended the way they ended this one... guess we'll have to wait and see... catwoman i guess would be the best candidate if done right... nolans done a great job so far though!

i read today that christian bale said as long as nolan's in, he is in.
i just watched it again without the imax distortion...much easier to watch on the regular screen. i am still in awe of this movie. twice in 24 hours...i need an intervention...lol.
i heard rumors of phillip seymour-hoffman as the penguin...but i forget from where.
they didn't set the end of this one up to show you who's next like batman begins did.
now that would be bad ass! anything would be better than the stupidity that i just watched...can someone explain to me why the "dark knight" doesn't do in the joker? he killed the love of his life...i don't get it at all. besides the movie could have ended about 1/2 an hour earlier and it would have been just fine.

cause "doing in" the joker is not something batman would do... did you even see batman begins? hes not an executioner... hed have to kill basically all the people 2 face killed to really avenge rachels death
i was absolutely content with every detail of the movie

agreed. i actually wanted it to go on for another 2.5 hours.
i understand why people would have enjoyed the film, i just wanted a little bit more from it. any batman movie is like a pearl jam album, i'm going to like it (so yes stupidity was a bit much) but not every one can be perfect. as far as length the movie had like three endings...the chase scene, the first death scene, then the second death scene. i could have done without the second one which made the movie 1/2 hour long IMO...but no biggie. Of the 4 movies I've seen this year this was second best to Speed Racer, which, once you get by the kiddie stuff, was actually a much smarter movie than this batman. Ironman, and Indiana 4 were miles behind the prior two.

killing spree would have been nice, BUT i understand that this batman isn't about that. BUT if you pushed your partners murderer of a ledge would you try to save that person? I am as non-violent as they come, and I would definitely have let the joker fall...it's kind of weird that he didn't.

I didnt even get into woprk until 11am..LoL
Unbelievable movie...every roll in this movie is dead on
Heath Ledger is unreal...sad he wont be back
I can't believe how dark and sick he is in this movie
The theater I went to had at least 4 theaters showing it and all the people dressed up as the Joker and Harvey Dent
I'm probably going again over the weekend
Edit : One review I read pretty much sums it up
Believe every ounce of the hype surrounding The Dark Knight.
