The Dark Knight

Who saw it and what did you think? This film is breaking records already, it looks like it's going down in box office history. Shows sold out all over the country. Voted as the third greatest film of all time on the International Movie Database. Personally, I thought this film excelled on every possible level. It was so much deeper than the other Batman films, with great character development, atmosphere, story, casting....everything just came together. Others who have seen it already probably know what i'm talking about.

All I can say is that, Heath Ledger RIP.

I liked him in "A Knight's Tale" and I can't wait to see this last performance before his demise.

If only Heath had failed and Owen Wilson had succeeded... I'm sorry for offending anyone, but I f**king HATE Owen Wilson.

the movie was an unbelievable psycological thrill ride. it plays with your head and your emotions, and it even questions your own morals. it was amazing to me how the movie threw you around in all these different directions, whether dramatically or disturbingly. the key performance being the Joker. he not only played the character, but got completely lost in his performance so much so that i forgot that it was even heath ledger.

you are right, the movie succeeds on every level and is definately a must see.

You've had a lot of posts about how much you hate this country and how you want to move because it's so bad here and all, and I just brushed those off for various reasons. But when you actually wish death on someone, especially someone you don't even know? That's not only offensive, it's a little disconcerting. Come on, cheer up a bit.

Oh, and I'd rather go see Mamma Mia

you couldn't pay me enough money to go see that

i'm going to see The Dark Knight in 1 hour!

edit:

saw it - wow what an amazing movie!
the acting of course was great
the moral ambiguity was very profound
and the performance by Heath Ledgers was spectacular
it's one of those movies that you keep thinking about afterwards
and still trying to figure out all the stories/philosophies/morals (or lack thereof) expounded

truly a great movie

I saw the midnight premier on opening night and I must its one of the best movies I seen. Heath Ledgers performance was brilliant.

I apologize for my recent negativity. It's a long story, and no one wants to hear it, so I'll just shut up. *shudders* I despise Mamma Mia...

I loved Mamma Mia and the Dark Knight. Movies, sure why not? I like looking on the bright side of each film! (Unless it was a film about poser thugs or making an emo band, you couldn't cut my limbs off to watch those).

Dark Knight had a great plotline, and I overall enjoyed it, Ledger's last performance at this role will be legendary, as his possession of the character he portrayed was quite amazing.
