Seen it 7 times. I love it. Going again tonight :

I'm not really speaking quality wise; I haven't seen the movie. But it cost about 120.000.000 to make, and it cost 80 million to market. And in total it didn't even bring up 100.000.000. :

 

...what? the dark knight has made over $300,000,000 I think. Where did you get $100,000,000 from?

They are talking about Speed Racer.

ugh sorry about that then #-o

 

 

 

In that case, wow :lol: . they are in some pretty big debt

Just got back from the theater. I may not see a whole lot of movies, but the ones I do are always amazing. TDK was no exception. Just wow.

How do you make a pencil disappear?

I should say I really enjoyed Harvy Dent in the movie too, actor did a really great job with him.

Just back from the cinema too, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

 

I was a Heath Ledger fan, and his performance was amazing. The Joker was insane and terrifying. It's the details that complete him, imo, like the posture and the strange licking his lips thing he does.

 

I liked Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent alot too.

 

[hide=spoiler]I only think they killed Two Face a bit too soon.[/hide]

[hide=]I only think they killed Two Face a bit too soon.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=]He may not be dead. :) Remember at the end the only talked about the death of "Harvey dent" and "Harvey Dent" is dead, but Two Face may as well be alive yet [Locked up in the prison where all the criminals in batman go to][/hide]

Good film.

 

 

 

[hide=Spoiler]I really doubt Two Face is dead. Batman never kills. So therefore, won't Two Face be alive? Best part had to be the Joker in a nurse's outfit.

 

 

 

Seriously though, my mate is an idiot, he things Ledger played Harvey Dent/ Two Face, and that someone else played Joker -.-[/hide]

Good film.

[hide=spoiler]He may not kill directly but in the ah.. original, batman movie with two face in it, he does cause him to fall to his death by throwing a lot of duplicate coins into the air and in the mad-panic to catch the right one harvey loses his footing...[/hide]But still... you never know

Good film.

[hide=]They left it pretty open as to if he's alive or dead, and we'll just have to wait and find out. Part of me wants to see him in the next movie but part of me thinks it'd be just fine if he was dead.

 

 

 

I think a description I read about the movie explained it well. TDK was more about Harvey Dent's rise and eventual fall and less about batman or the joker. The Joker and to an extent, batman, were just causing chaos.

 

 

 

 

 

I do agree (with an earlier poster) that the hospital scene was brilliant. Not only because the joker is damn funny in drag but how it showed how Harvey leaves everything up to chance.[/hide]

Just saw it last night, brutally awesome movie. "Batman Begins" is a good Batman movie but TDK makes it look like a morning cartoon show now lol.

 

 

 

Best part was how depressing things kept getting no matter how hard cops/bat tried to make things better. Heath Ledger was incredible. You think you got an idea of how he'll act by watching the trailer, but you have no idea until you have seen this movie.

Good film.

[hide=Spoiler]I wouldn't really consider that as Batman killing him. As he lost his footing, its more of a freak accident, rather than a murder.

 

 

 

If the recent Two Face died, it would be murder, as Batman pushed him over the edge. Not by accidental killing.

 

 

 

Still, I really hope he isn't dead, he's a villian I'd like to see more of (plus some other ones like Scarecrow, Penguin, Riddler and so on.[/hide]

In two and a half hour I am going to see it. First I could wait to see it, but now that I'm this close I really can't wait.

I read an article saying that one of the writers of TDK is nervous about even attempting a third movie, because he felt it would be impossible to top the second.

 

Some possible villains for a third movie noted in the article were The Riddler (possibly played by Johnny Depp) and/or The Penguin (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

hmm. I can see johnny depp as the riddler. That might be good.

Imbd best rated movie...Top 250 Movies (Click)

 

It's been in that spot since it came out, but it's dropping like a rock. Was all the way at 9.5. Give it another month and it'll be at 9.0 or less.

Seen it yesterday. Didn't get my hopes up too much. It was a nice movie. Heath Ledger played an awesome part, and when he was around the movie was always a lot more interesting. Heath Ledger's role is also the only exceptional part of the movie if you ask me. Other than that it's nothing 'special'. A good action movie, nothing more and nothing less. So why eveybody says this is the best film they have ever seen? I don't know. Maybe I am spoiled. But just look at the dialogue...

I grew up with Batman myself(my dad has a lot of Comic books from his childhood, mostly Batman.) and wow.. that was the best portrayal of the Joker i've ever seen. Although i wish they would've made a reference to his Red Hood origin. It was brilliant, but the only thing that makes me mad is that the same people that made fun of me 2 months ago for loving batman and the same people saying I never heard of Batman before this movie. False fans piss me off.. -.-

Still a darn shame to even have it ranked in the top 10, where it doesn't belong. I guess it goes to show that IMDB ratings are useless anyway.

Saw it this weekend, and thought it was pretty good. For a Hollywood product, it does stretch the boundaries of the genre of the superhero film. At a certain point during the film, I had the feeling anything could happen and anyone could die, which is rare in the genre. It made the Spiderman series look like a Disney product. Great acting jobs, especially by Heath Ledger. It's a pity about his talent, and I'm looking forward to seeing his very last acting job in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

 

 

 

Still, it's not like it changed my life or anything like that. A good summer film. Definitely not worth the hype (in the list of the 250 best films? Come on!) Just because Heath Ledger died, doesn't mean being in that list or Oscars need be involved.

I saw it last night. It was alright, I liked the Ledger's Joker and I appreciated how it aspired to be a little more than a regular comic book films by trying to deal with a few wider contemporary issues (surveillance, terrorism etc.) even if they were put across in a preach way at times (the whole conversation between Batman and Fox had my rolling my eyes a lot), but at least it attempted to say something unlike most big budget blockbusters at the moment.

 

 

 

I would say the film was worth my £5 but I probably wouldn't go to see it a 2nd time or buy it on DVD, a decent film but nowhere near as great as many have suggested. As for it being the IMDB number one film, I'd suggest that the film has been over-hyped by Ledger's death and that it has been great for marketing the film. Anyway in conclusion, it was better than most comic book films (which I admit aren't really my cup of tea) but it still didn't have the wow factor for me personally.

It was basically Heat in the Batman Universe. Except TDK lacks character development and goes a bit too fast for my tastes...it needs to be longer.
