No threads up and I'm shocked! Anyway SPOILER WARNING POSSIBLE.


But holy crap I am just in awe of the epicness of The Dark Knight. What are thoughts?





























For me I have to say Two-Face was too short lived and I wanted some definitive end for the Joker but I can't badmouth this movie. I would give it 6 stars (eff 5)!!!

Everything they say about it, it's true and then some. No villian has ever been as sinister as Heath Ledger's Joker. You can take that to the bank too!

It was amazing, a great movie.

I watched the midnight show, and afterwards I couldn't sleep, it was too good.

Ledger was fantastic, Batman was better than ever, and Two-Face was great.

Now I have to say that I have written sinister, sick, twisted, and demented villains but never before have I seen one as sinister, sick, twisted, and demented as this Joker!

It was nothing short of absolutely epic, and the Joker was by far the greatest role ever played by that late actor. I agree wholeheartedly on the issue of Two-Face, though.

Wouldn't he have been epic in the third?

I saw Gotham Knight (a sort of Animatrix-esque companion to Dark Knight) the other day, and for the most part was impressed. It helps that Kevin Conroy voiced Bats; I am of the opinion that no-one else can quite do the voice right.

Hopefully Dark Knight will deliver also.

This is something I saw a commercial for the other day and that I must get and watch. Don't worry TDK delivers!

Movies today are horrible. They have little or not plot, retarded filming effects (like the rapid speed up slow down crap from rap music videos), they have terrible acting, and it seems like they're just trying to be as stupid as possible without plots and tons of special effects just to get people in the seats to see bullets hit each other. *for example*

1948? By today I meant the past few years. I have to say TDK is the best movie since The Crow (not the fruity sequels).

Obviously you did not pay much attention to the movie and just awed at Heath Ledger's makeup because he was definitely dark and the movie was everything the critics said and more.

I saw it today, and it was awesome! Heath Ledger's joker was way better than Jack Nicholson's joker. Batman was once again awesome, and I just loved the entire movie, well almost all of it. I didn't really like the ending where Batman decided to become a martyr. I understood why he did it, but it still sucks. Also, they should've killed off the Joker (since the actor is dead and all) and kept Two-Face. I hope they don't plan to bring back Joker in the 3rd film, no one can match Heath Ledger's Joker, NO ONE!

Just saw it this morning, and I'm still reeling. How it slid in under PG-13 I'm not quite sure; I suppose the violence wasn't blood-and-guts, but it turned my stomach upside down. Ledger was as brilliant as everyone said; absolutely chilling. Christian Bale is the best Bruce Wayne ever. His growly Batman voice still annoys me, but since he is my favorite actor in the world I let it slide. Action sequences were ACE, I like how they broke it down simply and went light on the CGI. All around, just superb. Only thing that's going to beat Ironman this summer.

Many. Many were 4 star worthy, many 4.5 star but very few 5 star.

Actually, taking a lesson from the movie, I've hidden a pie bomb somewhere in your neighborhood and if the mayor of your town isn't pied by this time tomorrow, I'm going to set it off. ;)
