Batman "The Dark Knight"

[D]

Who is goin at Midnight tonight to see this?


Post your reviews, reactions, how great Heath Ledger is etc etc


I personally hated Batman Begins, thought it was boring but I've been anticipating the Dark Knight since Heath Ledger signed on as the Joker.


Cant wait!

I'm not just yet. Don't have the money at the moment plus its gonna be a mob scene the first several days. I'll see it soon though. How could you think Batman Begins was boring though? 

[D]

I watched it and just found myself thinking "is this shit ever gonna end?

I dont like Christian Bale, I think he is dry as toast, Batman is the shittiest super hero as he really isnt a super hero and Batman Begins had the worst villain probably in superhero movie history.

isnt the dark knight like twice as long?

[bazgnr]

2 hours 35 minutes, I think.   I'm looking forward to every second of it.

 Batman is the shittiest super hero as he really isnt a super hero

  He's the only one that isn't a fucking  nerd in real life, and doesn't rely on so-called "super powers" to catch the bad guys. Not to mention the pussy he gets...
   That makes him the coolest super hero in my book



   Can't wait to see The Dark Knight, it seems disturbingly brilliant

[pilferk]

Batman's my favorite hero....

My wife and I are going Friday night.  From the reviews I've read so far, it's a brilliant movie.  Very true to the darker comic book roots....and much more true to the detective nature of the comics.

If Batman Begins was one of the stories out of "Batman", then "The Dark Knight" is straight out of "Detective Comics".

Batman is a rich boy with tools but has no power whatsoever.


For the Comic Nerds, If u ever check out The Justice League, They always have to save Batman's ass.

Iron Man just rich with money, but highly intelligent.

Yeah, I always saw IronMan as maybe a cockier Bruce Wayne.

I got tickets to the 12:01 showing.

I'm looking forward to it. I still dont get why some people loved Batman Begins, though it is one of the best Batman fims (especially of the last decade), its still not a very good film.

[bazgnr]

I respectfully disagree.   I am a bit biased, however, as I've been a huge fan of Christopher Nolan ever since Memento.  The cast, the storytelling, etc., were all top-notch in Batman Begins.  My only complaint was that it *had* to be an origin story (again), even though I understood the rationale behind it, and the action scenes were too close up and fast paced to sometimes follow the actual movements themselves.

Without the origin baggage, I'm thrilled to see The Dark Knight tomorrow.  Even better, Nolan's doing it "old school" with real explosions and stunts rather than relying on the lazy-man's CGI, and his cast is again phenomenal.  I'm trying not to let the hype get to me, but my expectations are substantial at this point.  I don't think I'll be disappointed.

Batman Begins to me was horrible but I am very excited for this one

Not sure If I am gonna hit the midnight showing or wait till the morning

I love movies with Popcorn etc

and I cant see myself wolfing down corn at midnight............

[tim_m]

Ah wait til morning. I'm sure even though its midnight its gonna be PACKED.

Okay, just got back from a midnight showing and here is my honest review:

First off let me say, I think it's absolutely shit that this film is going to get this giant aura around it due to Heath Ledger's death.  It's like by him dying, people are going to think this is a modern day Grapes of Wrath and think they must absolutely see it because.......well he died after making it so it must be good.

He was shit in this movie.  The writing sucked, the acting sucked (and I usually enjoy Christian Bale) and it was just a cluster fuck.  To put it simply, I think it was ultimately one of the most banal movies I've seen in this genre.

-Give me the two Tim Burton Batman films anyday.  They presented a deep dark feel, plus kept the comic touch.  These new DC adaptions as of late (Superman/Batman) are being promoted as "looking into the dark side of the true essence of the characters."  No, it's playing into the true douchebagery of the current movie going chimps.

You do know that Heath is going to be nominated for an Oscar by The Academy don't you?

Once again read the first part of my post..........I think it's absolute shit that this movie is going to get applauded on the fact that Heath Ledger died right after finishing it.  I'll be honest to say I think Ledger was probably the second best thing in the movie behind Harvey Dent (up until he became Two Face and got that retarded looking makeup job).......but that's not saying much.  I thought the movie was utter shit, my opinion.   Of course Ledger's going to be nominated for an Oscar.....everyone loves happy endings.
