"The Dark Knight" has made it's way to number 1 on the IMDB Top 250. It has an average rating of 9.7/10, it knocked "The Godfather" from the top spot. Incredible.

That used to be the best Batman, doesn't hold a candle to this one though.

Incredible movie. I haven't felt this way after seeing a move for the first time since I saw A Clockwork Orange.

there are only a few compliants that i have

1. they should NOT have given the opening scene away for the movie preview. The opening scene would have been MUCH BETTER w/o already knowing what was going to happen

2. if anything they tried to include too much in this movie
there is one character that could have had his/her own movie story line

3. i would have liked more scenes with the Joker obviously

4. too many story lines/philosophies/morals/immorals expounded in the movie
by including less they could have focussed more on in-depth development

5. a little on the long side - would have cut it by 15-20 minutes

6. they should have just used regular makeup/effect for a character's face
computer effects shouldn't have been used b/c it just looked completely fake

6. some of the scenes or things that happen are just outlandish - i know it's an action flick but i would have liked a little more down to earth ideas

Things that really worked in this movie

1. the casting - all the actors did an amazing job!

2. the musical score is just spectacular - everytime i hear it i get chills in my spine. One of the best musical scores i have ever heard

3. original writing - questions everyday conceptions of morality and in not just the typical manner

4. A great mixture of seriousness and comedy (although not too much included) - it's difficult to get the right mixture but they got it right in this one

5. Overall didn't use too much CGI which i think worked really well in this movie - made it seem more realistic

6. Filmed in Chicago

7. A very powerful movie - emotionally concentrated in the movie. Will definitely grab your attention

8. A part from the opening scene - you didn't really know what was going to happen next. Lots of turns in the plot which made you uneasy throughout the movie

9. the Joker had the whole city in turmoil - this adds to the element of uneasiness and to the overall power and evilness of the Joker

10. a very unsettling movie to watch - a cross b/w a thriller/horror/action/love film: wow the more i think about the film the more i love

Overall i give it a 9.6

a great movie!

edit:

Dark Knight made 155.3 million this three day weekend (thus far - still have to get all of Sunday)

that is an all-time record beating Spider Man 3

this movie could easily break the 420 million level making it one of the biggest movies ever

this coming week/weekend though will be a better indicator as to how popular this movie will be

Ah damn! Tbailey, you beat me to the post about Dark Knight's record breaking weekend. Saw it two hours ago and the joker's maniacal cackle is still reverberating within my skull. I smell an oscar nomination, and hopefully, a win.
