DARK KNIGHT

i am going to the midnight showing at quality-16. ive been waiting for this movie for well over a year! i was so jealous of my brother when he would call me up last summer and say he saw them filming from outside his condo.

on the darkest of days the sun still shines. 

I can't wait.  I'm going Saturday to an IMAX showing.

I WANT to see it this weekend, but didn't anticipate the (pardon the repitition) anticipation that it would get.  So, I didn't buy tix in advance.  Next week for sure!

This looks fantastic.  I'll be seeing it tomorrow night.
 
About a week ago I rewatched Batman Begins (which I loved) and I forgot how well it sets up the sequel.

i really don't want to post my review aka a spoiler because i don't want to make anyone mad. but i will write one up and PM you later after i get a few things done around the house.

sounds good.........i have a fear that the expectations are going to be so high, that it could be a letdown.  so give me your take, but don't give any spoilers of the movie, because i will go see it.......LOL

 

I don't plan on seeing it. I liked it the first time I saw it when it was called Batman.

I also saw this at Q16 in Ann Arbor on midnight and I was very impressed with Heath Ledger's the Joker. It may have been one of the best performances ever as a villain. Evil, cunning, and humorous. The movie was good also. Good action, some humor, great villain. Random crap comments from no name police officers is all I disliked from the film. This is a must see though, primarily for the amazing Joker performance.

ok then i wil just say it here and just keep it spoiler free. it is a amazing movie but it takes alot of twists that are unexpected. Q16 had it showing on 8 screens and all of them sold out. Ledger was a awesome joker, and Bale was even better as batman then in the first one. it is a very dark and gloomy movie.  they played a trailer for the new Terminator Movie comming out next summer so get their early to see the previews.

it is a totally different movie.

on the darkest of days the sun still shines. 

sounds great.  i don't get these people that say  they won't go see it because they already saw jacks joker.  from what i gather, it's almost like two different characters.  i can't wait to see it.  probably wait until the crowd goes down.  maybe another two weeks for me.

 

Ledgers Joker will go down as one of the greatest nillain perfomances of all time, right there with Darth Vader, Hannibal Lecter, and Anton Chigurgh. Christian Bale is still just decent as Batman IMHO (Michael Keaton is better).
 
As far as the movie goes it is the best Batman movie to date...and it contains the greatest magic trick ever!!! (those of you who have seen it know what I mean, those of you who havent go see it for yourself)
 
9.5/10

I am seeing it tomorrow tonight...can't wait!

so anyone know where i can download "why so serious" audio clip. i wanna use it as my alert on my cell phone for text messages

It's even better the second time.

Just saw it tonight. I loved that pitchy noise that happened when you saw the joker. Even on a wednesday night the theatre was packed.

This is my favorite part. His facial expression is pretty crazy. Ledger did a really good job. If there is another sequal, I have to say the character may not be as good without him... I liked him more than Jack.

Try these, I'm too broke to go to the theatre, plus I have zero patience for most idiots and their lack of manners during movies so as usual I downloaded

Not my choice for a ringtone, but hey everyone has their thang. My current one is Factory Fire, from the show Emergency! waaaaaaaay back in the day. Why, cause i'm a Fireman, it is very long and sounds cool, plus it pisses people off, scares the be-jesus out of em, and they look for the big red fire engine. Oh another ringtone I use is the infamous Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, bar scene, where he says MuthaF@#$ like 57 times then beats him to a pulp after, that one has gotten me in a little trouble at Baskin-Robbins

OK, after a lot of near misses I finally got to see it tonight on an IMAX screen.

Possible spoilers follow.

1) I hate movie theaters.  Showcase sells reserved seats for IMAX, so we were packed in despite the fact that the theater was half empty.  The film print was dirty.  I spend a lot of time looking at digitial video and theater prints drive me nuts.  Next time I'll go see it in a digital theater.  Not to mention people yapping throughout.

2) Heath Ledger was awesome too bad we won't be able to see him reprise the role.  Great take on the Joker.

3) I really like the movie, it was very ambitious but it seemed about 10-15 minutes too long.  It almost seemed like it should/could have been two movies. 

4) The Harvey Dent plot line should have remained unresolved- it would have been a great setup for the next movie.  Just the way Batman begins setup for the Joker in this one.

5) I love how Batman is set up as a villain in the end.

Saw it tonight at the IMAX.

Awesome, awesome movie.

It left me sad though, knowing that Heath Ledger is gone. Talk about going out on a high note, with your magnus opus.

I loved the movie BTW.

I had gathered my thoughts and typed out a short review to post and got logged out on the old software.

Not once but twice!

If I get a few minutes this weekend I'll try again.

Loving the new software Phil!

Awesome movie!

I thought it was going to end, then the movie had another hour left in it.

Ledger did a phenomenal job with the Joker role.

I read online that the joker has been erased from the script of the next movie. Kind of a good thing though because I dont think anyone could match Heath Ledger's performance. He was absolutely amazing!!

johnny depp has been rumored to be playing the riddler in the sequal, with an appearence by phillip seymour hoffman as penguin. nothings been confirmed yet

Did anyone else catch Chris Nolan's batman theme playing right before the players ran out of the tunnel yesterday?  Nice touch I thought.

That was amazing and really got my adrenaline pumping!
