Dark Knight

See it.

It was awesome.

The Joker was great.

There were a few surprises, and a few shocks. I jumped in my seat once or twice.
In deference to those poor souls who haven't seen it yet, I'll just post this:
"Why so serious?"

You are doing yourself a huge disservice by not seeing this movie.

The Dark Knight is the perfect Batman movie. I don't see how they can make another.

I haven't seen Dark Knight, but Batman Begins sets the stage for it.

I like the actor of Batman in this one. He does an excellent job.
(Perhaps even as good as Michael Keaton)

Dark Knight should bring a new high to the Batman series.

Still, I will probably wait until it is available for On Demand to view it.

!!Spoiler!!

Given the ending of Dark Knight, I'm not sure how that's possible.

Well..i have not seen the movie, but then, Batman Begins ending was sort of left open for any kind of new ideas. I think the Two Face vallian is suppose to have elements of psychological thriller. It is suppose to be even more darker in tone than Dark Knight.

Apart from Batman having a cold the entire movie, it was great.

the joker Two face thing isn't a spoiler everyone knew the joker created two face. This had to be one of the best batman movies ever. The joker Is absolutely genius. Thinking about what they could do with the future villians if they kept this going would be freaking sweet. Personally I'd love to a see a freeze or penguin rendering in a future movie but thats not likely since this batman is a lot more realistic.

Christopher Nolan kinda nixed the Penguin idea. He said he likes the Penguin and all, but there's just not a way to make him fit with the dark, gritty, 'realistic' approach of these films.

Fantastic movie! I can't wait for the next movie. I doubt, however, if they can find a better opponent than the Joker.

Funny how different Jack was from Heath. Jack's Joker kinda had half a mind left lol.

For a second in the movie I thought Heath was going to die the same way lol.

Who would they put in the next movie? Riddler needs help, Catwomen kinda would too. Penguin is the only one that could be in it by himself.

I wanna see someone crazy like sandman. Maybe it's too soon.
But yeah, DK's the best movie I've seen in theaters since Return of the King, and I go to movies a lot.
Heath was amazing, he was completely gone behind his character, all that was left in that movie was The Joker. And all things considered, I think he was better than Jack.
RIP Heath Ledger.

this will be a SPOILER too!!

Well, it is technically possible, watch the ending again. The movie never actually says anybody dies...
Just they were hiding his identity of what happened to him...

I was kind of thinking of it along the lines of tristan.

Spoiler right here: Though I did watch the whole time to see if he was breathing but you can never be sure.

Personally one of my favorite parts of the movie when the joker started banging the detonator with his fist. Such an awesome scene.

Just got back from seeing it a couple hours ago, and all I can say is: Wow.

Of course Ledger's portrayal of the maniacally genius Joker was nothing short of outstanding, but I think a big "kudos!" has to go out to the main cast all around. Morgan Freeman, Michael Cane, and Gary Oldman really stepped up, and I felt that Aaron Eckhart put in an especially fine performance as Harvey Dent.

This movie did almost everything right: The action scenes & cinematography was top-notch, the dialog well-written & acted, and the characters were brilliant. This isn't just an adrenaline-fueled action flick, it's a story involving sharp moral choices/conflicts and genuine human pathos. (Even the Joker manages to elicit a certain macabre sympathy, although not so much in the "poor guy" sort of way.)

Oh, and major props to Nolan for having the courage to kill off a major character -- did *not* see that coming!

Not since V for Vendetta have I watched a film that managed to blend heart-pumping action with an excellent human morality tale so seamlessly. This is easily one of the best movies I've seen in the last several years, perhaps ever.

Riddler needs help,


Actually, a Chris Nolan version of the Riddler could be plenty of villain for the Bats to take on.

Think of the Riddler meets the twisted mind of Jigsaw from the first Saw movie - enigmatic deathtraps from a crazed serial killer.

But I don't know who they'll have be the baddie. It'll be fun to find out.

Valkyrie


Is that the movie where Tom Cruise is the Nazi that tried to kill Hitler?

Ironman2


I hope the Iron Monger suit makes a comeback here. The fight at the end of the first movie was WAY to short.

Persoanlly,I'm waiting for the re-make of The Day the Earth Stood Still and the movie adaptation of Watchmen.
