The Dark Knight

Saw the midnight show, and I wasn't disappointed.

Anyone else see it, or going to see it?

 

Hopefully this weekend. I've been avoiding commercials, trailers, and other people for a while now in anticipation.

 

Going tonight, I hope there are going to be tickets.

 

I don't want to go alone nor do I want to bring a date to the movie, so I'll see if one of my friends is available.

 

I saw the midnight showing when it came out. Awesome. Ledger was unbelievable.

 

Best superhero/action movie I have ever seen. Marvel has ALOT of work to do to catch up.

 

See this shit ASAP.

That's exactly why I'm waiting until a weekday to watch this movie. Packed theatres always ruin movies for me.

 

Who wants to see a magic trick?

 

BTW, there is another thread on this in the S2 movie forum

I saw this movie last night and omg, i mean i could just imagine the other super hero's in the world watching this and thinking we don't got crap over batman.

 

most LEGIT movie this year.
Saw it the midnight of, and it was worth it...so worth it

 

i have seen it 3 times over the weekend and once on imax... it was amazing... christian bale did an amazing job again as the dark knight and heath ledger performance as joker... was simply amazing... i wana see it again... just once more! definately a blu ray collector item

 

As I said, I left the theatre Friday not knowing what to think. It really wasn't until yesterday that the subtlety and brillance begin to sink in. Now, I know I'll have to see it several more times to fully appreciate it.

Iron Man was great movie and nothing to be ashamed of but it was a typical superhero movie.

Note to Sam Raimi, Stan Lee, Marvel, Universal Pictures; Don't even attempt to make a 4th Spiderman. #3 was the worst superhero movie ever (worse than Hulk 2003) and was more like a teen drama I see on the WB when channel surfing.

 

Do we all agree that Heath Ledger was amazing.
To me he made it seem like the Joker was a live person. A live, brilliant person.

 

Just got back from watching it. Here are some thoughts (don't know how to spoiler block them, so I'll type them white):
<span style="color:#FFFACD">
Batman makes a big deal about how people are good because they don't blow each other up, and that the Joker is alone. My take on it is that most people would have blown up the other boat- before the Joker came along, traumatized the city and made it a community of people who had to watch out for each other. The Joker made them good. Another bit I found interesting is that the Joker knew who he was (even though nobody else did) through and through, whereas the Batman was completely confused, taking advice from mobsters and continually second-guessing himself to the point that he knocked himself out when he has the chance to take out the Joker (hadn't seen that one in his repertoire of moves before). The Joker's just on top of his game, and I loved his getting himself arrested on purpose. But it was interesting that his take on Batman is so off (he thinks Batman wants to be a cop). Lastly, I thought the movie relied too much on the comic book history to explain Two-Face. They certainly didn't show any kind of motivation for the downfall of Harvey Dent (and even when they hinted at it, where he was flipping the coin on the tied-up bad guy, they made sure to let us know that kid was never in any danger) and instead just excused themselves because we all know Harvey Dent becomes Two-Face.</span>

More spoilers in retort:

<span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'> Yes, I did not think the Two-Face mini-arch was that fluid or fleshed out, it kind of seemed smashed in there. I'd like to see a slower spiral downwards into insanity. I thought the last third of the movie was a bit too much, and that the convict boat should have definitely been blown up, regardless of the way the Joker brought together people in Gotham.</span>

Ohhh, that's how you do the spoiler blocking. Anyway, <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'> why do you think the convict boat should have been blown up? To my way of thinking, which I admit isn't necessarily supported by the movie, the convicts should have blown the other boat up - they could have rushed the guards, who weren't that keen on stopping them anyway - but the other boat got lucky that the most charismatic convict who more or less led them turned out to have found god, or whatever. </span>
