brilliant.

absolutely brilliant.

i didn't think they have the guts to portray the joker as he truly is. the movie is almost flawless.

it was 10x better than batman begins.

I also thought it was great. Heath Ledger's performance was absolutely out of this world. For him to become a character like that is truly brilliant. I thought they were going to kill the Joker in this film, but didn't. This series has taken a great turn.

Anyone hear rumors or anything of what the next one is going to be about?

Overall, really happy with the film, stood up to the hype!

Honesltly, I am saddened that Heath could not be here to see what a masterful job he has done.

For once... a sequel is actually BETTER than the original!

Absolute perfection!! There was not a moment where I was not 100% entertained!

Post by **hatchback240** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 10:36 pm

agreed 100%

there was absolutely nothing in this movie i would have changed, nothing cheesy or gimmicky. this is not just a sequel to make money, it was a movie for the fans. heaths portrayal is absolutely terrifying, second to none. i really feel that nobody could have pulled that roll off better. the underlying story and motives for the characters really drives the story and lets you feel what they're feeling, to almost know what bruce is going through. great writing, great direction, flawless execution. deff the movie of the year.

I read a review a few months ago where they cut out the scene where the joker dies because some people in the audience couldnt handle it

That movie was absolutely brilliant. Amazing direction all around. The only thing I don't like is that the joker is still alive, but Heath is dead.....

Are they gonna do the same thing they did with the chick and just randomly throw in another actor? Or just kinda ditch the Joker?

Post by **EazyBreazy** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 2:05 am

^either edit you're post of will one of the mods put a spoiler alert for those of us whom havent seen the movie. For god sakes lol it's not okay to talk about details of a movie until at least a week later.

you missread.

nothing was cut. nothing was added. no stand in actor's. nothing.

it was discussed, then dismissed.

in the end, warner bros. along with some other big names (christian bale included) felt it would be an insult to ledger to omit any of his work.

the joker's "death" scene is in the movie. if you've seen the movie, think about it.

i don't want to give anything away.

thanks for spoiling it.....

My only small complaint is that I thought Two-Face's look was a little excessive. Just a little. Otherwise best movie of the year.

Post by **JustinStrife** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 5:54 am

Some people don't know how to keep from spoiling parts of movies apparently.

Thanks clowns.

yeah.

i was wondering how long it was going to be before someone mentioned two-face.

can a mod add "w/SPOILERS" to the thread title?

I swear I feel like handing out bans... way to spoil it for some guys...

Post by **19DELTA** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 6:58 am

I loved this movie....Heath Ledger really took the movie to a whole other level with his performance. "Anybody want to see a magic trick?" was my favorite part of the movie!! Amazing!

I have heard rumors of the Joker coming back in the next film, but that just doesn't seem right.

Post by **Papi Chulo** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 6:58 am

The opening scene was awesome, and I knew after that the movie was going to be hot sex... and it was.

Post by **VMPhil** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 7:29 am

seeing how i already knew most of the plot and seen pics of Harvey Dent before the movie hit i wasnt spoiled at all. i cant wait to see it.

Alot of people arent aware of anything in the Batman world that they didnt see in Batman Begins hah.

I may go see it a second time today!

How could they have killed the Joker in this film when the time period of the Dark Knight predates the original Batman in which the Joker appears?

This movie was phenominal!!

I heard about Oscar buzz regarding Heath Ledger and thought...bahhh whateva, it's just because the dude is dead. But then I saw it... that was an unbelievable performance and definitlet Oscar worthy.

Two thumbs WAYYYYY up for this movie!!

christopher nolan's batman series isnt cannon with the other batman movies, that should have been most evident in this movie. the original batman movie was the first meeting of batman and the joker too, but if they had stuck to the same story line it would have been a remake then wouldnt it? nolan is taking the series in a more realistic approach, where speilburg just went for the straight out of cartoon feel.

It's called a retconn. Sort of like what Episodes II & III did with Boba Fett. The poster above me sums it up well.

Interesting, I didn't pick up on that, it's been years since I've seen the first. I had thought the two new installments were meant to be consistent with the first four.

In any case, the Dark Knight was an excellent movie. It had a great feel and look (even with Chicago as Gotham), in my opinion, it was far better than any of the first four, and Batman Begins, as well. There was nothing gimmicky or cheap, no real lulls in a long film and surprisingly good acting for an action flick. A movie worth seeing, for sure.

Want to know how I got these scars?

Post by **NSR_s30** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 2:00 pm

That movie agreed was simply amazing. It was 1000x better then BB. I really love the how dark the movie was, and how Ledger showed us the true performance of what the Joke should of been. Move over Nicholson.
