[SneaKe]

Just came back from it. Very good. It also gave me a nice opportunity to show some ricers what a real car looks like.

I concur....the flick was great!! Sucks that Ledger died....He was a perfect Joker!!

[jdshift]

I myself been waiting to see this for years!! You knew at the end of the Batman Begins which villian was going to appear in the next flick....now the ads just tease the syte outta me!! Monday cannot come soon enough....thats when I'll have the time to enjoy

I loved the late Ledger [may his soul rest in peace] when he acted in the movie, "A Knight's Tale". This isn't his first knights movie. I think if he had lived long enough, he would have blossomed into a great artist.

However, i wonder why his character---bad guy overshadowed that of Batman the super heroe--Christian Bailey?

Are we supposed to celebrate The Green Goblin instead of Spiderman?

Anyone see Ironman? It was good---made me feel like a 10 year old again. Although I am mostly a Spiderman fan.

Ironman was great too! I think that Ledger will get an award for this flick.

What I liked about the movie was all characters were focused on, not just batman/bruce wane.

[Bigjoe347]

i liked it alot. im probably going to go see it again

[mycoupe8urs]

that movie was perfect.... heath ledger killed that performance. he brought new life to the joker and will be missed

[AddictionG35]

Saw it last night, this movie was freaking amazing. Ledger was one sick Joker! I'll probably be going to see it again too! Oh, and now I can't wait till it comes out on DVD/Blu ray!!!

[TeflonG35]

I will see this soon.

[G_whizz]

Agreed...I heard all this Oscar buzz about Ledger before seeing it. I thought to myself it's just because the dude is no longer with us.

Man was I ever wrong! His performance was phenominal!!! Probably one of the best performances I have ever seen by an actor/actress.

This movie get's 4 thumbs up!!

[TeflonG35]

Saw it last night. Screw batman, Joker made that movie. The best villain ever. I loved it. Only complaint was how packed the theater was. Almost had to sit in the stiff neck section.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

Gonna check it out tonight as recommended by my hot co-worker 5 min ago

[TeflonG35]

I really haven't heard any complaints about this movie. Except that one of the villains dies too quickly. I'm not saying who. I'm not a spoiler. But the movie is awesome. One of the few movies I was glad I went to see and not just download.

[joe603]

My theater was packed too...I got there 30 prior to showtime, and it was a 4pm show!!!

Spoiler....

...................

The only part that I didn't like and felt out of place was the trip to China. The ending car chase felt a bit kiddy with commentary from the passenger.

I had to sit in the very front row. Staring straight up the whole time.

[TeflonG35]

Did you get one of those teenies to massage your neck?

[mycoupe8urs]

Me too, i was way to close to the screen and i am going to end up going to see it again because of this, I dont understand how people can sit that close you only see half the movie.

[mrsmithGrider]

It's funny that this post was made because immediately after watching I was like this movie is so good I think I want to make a post on NICO and right just how good I thought the movie was.

[TeflonG35]

Personally I love the joker's magic trick. **You have to see the damn movie, Why hasn't everyone seen this movie yet?!!?**

[phil4watching]

i was there thursday night at midnight. i was there an hour before hand and still was in a bad seat. yeah his magic trick was amazing.

[99QX4]

We (ronnie and i) saw it in the IMAX...it was great. The only issue i had was part of the screen was behind us even though we were sitting slightly higher than middle seats...but we couldn't get higher seats (even though we were there 1hour and 15min before showtime.)

[TeflonG35]

WHY SO SERIOUS TEFLON?

Maybe it's the codeine the doctors have me on. Im sick @_@

I hear all this talk about the joker, yea he was good but what about 2face, he played the role perfectly.

Hello Guys:

I went to see the movie this evening, and all i could say is, "the movie is dark"----really dark. The Joker, Batman, The DA, and the Police Chief, were all great. Sure, the Joker stood out because he was the one dishing out the tricks and madness---the ever active antagonist. Everyone's role in the movie appeared to be balanced and equal to me. However, i would say that Mr ledger deserves a post-humous movie award for bringing the Joker character to life---i also suspect the darkness of the Joker's role may have played a part in his death---who knows! Once in a life time, some movie star does such a great job that no one else could possibly play that part as well in a life time. Jamie Fox did the same in the movie "Ray".

In essence, this movie was not about action scenes or getting things blown up. This movie was about the essence of human beings, their behavior, and the choices and the motivation to the choices they make. Without mincing words any further, it was all about ethics and virtues. This was a movie that was more of a mirror than a gaping hole on a finite wall.

So, who is a virtuous person? Can anyone claim to know what they will do if confronted with the worst possible case scenario? Is self centeredness better than altruism? Do we really love to hear the truth about ourselves? Do we really know who we are at all times---self consciousness? What do we stand for and beleive, each passing day? Can most of us maintain the integrity to do rightthe thing everyday, in the face of ostracism, danger, and difficulty? So, what is right and what is wrong? How do we defend right in one instance and not the other? How do we explain doing wrong when we should be doing right?

These are the questions that confront each and every one of us each passing day. The Dark Night only brings these concerns to light in ways that should cause any reasonable person pause for muse. This movie wasn't about action and entertainment, it was about our souls.

If this analysis does not compel any thoughts, then think about the current war in Iraq. Will posterity judge George Bush well for his actions, for allowing 4,000 + troops to die in order to protect 300 million americans? Was the loss of a few lives worth saving many others?

As another example, the Federal Reserve and Congress are putting togther a plan to bail out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and some failing corporations like Indymac, and many home owners, while many other home owners and businesses who did the right thing will not be bailed out. They claimed it was to protect the economy from failing. So, when is it okay to bail out those who made poor choices in this current mortgage crisis and when is it okay not to bail anyone out?

These are real questions of our time, that buy into the ethical philosophies and query that pervades the movie, the "Dark Night". This is no ordinary movie. This was a dark movie designed to positively disturb our senses, and it did a good job of doing so.
