omg... i saw TDK on wednesday and all i can say is i agree with the critics: GO SEE IT!!! not only is it a great superhero movie, its also a great movie in its own right, the cinematography, the direction, the actors were all outstanding. i loved the fact that it was so grounded in reality. it's not cheesy or OTT like previous batman films, its dark and gritty,i was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time! (btw, this is coming from a girl who loves romantic period films!). i feel like this is the first time we get to see the "real" batman onscreen. and i loved the moral issues it raised..... i wont spoil, just go see it!

and if heath ledger doesn't receive an oscar nomination for his performance, i will... be very annoyed to say the least!
oh, and christian bale is HOT!..... maybe thats another major part of why i loved this film so much lol

what did evryone else think???

Thank you so much for your reply. If my contacts can pull some strings, I will get to see it tonight! I can not wait.

Regardless, I am getting all dazzled up tonight. I have some big plans. No holds will be barred with my glitter. I even have shoes that sparkle. I will be stepping out in the Big City with my friends and family. The house will be rocking tonight.

All I ask is that no one spoil the movie for anyone who's not seen it.

I just saw The Dark Knight at IMAX this morning (the 3:15 a.m. show). This movie was totally worth standing in line for a few hours and staying up all night (watch it and you’ll know what I’m talking about… lol). I couldn’t find any bad thing to say about The Dark Knight, except for the new Rachel Dawes. Sorry, Gyllenhaal’s fans, but I don’t find her suitable for this role at all. Other than that, Christian Bale and the others were amazing, especially Heath Ledger. He was absolutely outstanding. I think he was the best Joker ever. Too bad we will never see him anymore. RIP, Heath…

I would consider The Dark Knight the best movie of 2008!

I saw this at 12:10 a.m. last night, and didn't get out of the theater until 3am! it was so long, but I really enjoyed it.
The movie was great, but I agree with Mo6ius..Maggie Gylenhaal isn't a good Rachel.
she is too weird looking. haha.

I actually got to see the movie! The theater was full. My group had to split up to get a seat. We were spread out all over the theater. I sat next to the nicest and cutest young couple.

The Joker was the best! Who could top that performance? Heath Ledger was BRILLIANT!

I plan to view it again. I just want to see the Joker. I will wait to see it on home video.

My only compliant is that I wish the movie had more footage of the Joker.

It's so unbelievable this man is not alive. It's so sad.

i also agree with the above comments about rachel... her character seemed too cold. also i thought maggie g didnt seem very scared in scenes where she was supposed to be... it just felt odd

SparklingWaves · 07-19-2008, 01:38 PM #33 (**permalink**)

Yep, I agree. The acting was not just right on the Rachel character.

I'm totally going to say what everyone else said about the movie...IT WAS BRILLIANT! Heath's performance really stood out and imo, it made the movie so great. Christian Bale is HOT and his character was pretty interesting too. I'm really not into action flicks and haven't seen other Batman movies, but this was really worth it!

The Dark Night was filmed in Chicago so it was also really cool to see the city in a new light

Fantastic.

That's all I can say.

If I could rave to the whole world about how great this movie is, I would. I, too, did my best not to watch any trailers/previews or even the virals b/c I was afraid it'd taint the experience for me.

Heath Ledger was just brilliant. He definitely deserves an Oscar for this. I also love how the movie began! Smart!!!

redambition · 07-19-2008, 07:21 PM #37 (**permalink**)

i haven't seen it yet, but I heard a review yesterday that has pretty much convinced me that i have to see this one at the theatre and not wait til it's on DVD.

now i just have to convince the other half of the same

I really enjoyed it.
Heath Ledger's performance was absolutely brilliant.
I might just go and watch it again but at the IMAX.

On Thursday night I spent hours trying to find a 12:01 am opening with no such luck. Eventually I found a 2:50 am show, and I thought, would it be worth it? It was, I got home at 5:46 am and I still thought it was worth it. Absolutely amazing, it's one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. It wasn't just a superhero movie there was so much more. It's like a crime flick. Heath Ledger was absolutely amazing! I didn't think it was possible to LOVE the joker and batman at the same time. Heath Ledger was able to be funny and yet extremely scary. I loved it, if you haven't seen it... you really have to! And uh, Christian Bale... sexy.
