The Dark Knight

[rowan]

I just got back from The Dark knight and all I can say is wow! It was brilliant! So much darker than the first one, I found myself actually jumping at some points and I’m not one to be freaked out by a movie it was REALLY intimidating.

Heath Ledgers performance really stole the spotlight, which I was expecting; I must say he was probably one of the best villains EVER!
It was a bit long, clocking in at 2:30 hours; it could have been a bit shorter, but still a wonderful movie.

I think the first one was a tiny bit better (aside from heath ledger, he was born to play the joker), it had a much less gothic setting, which made it feel like you weren’t watching batman sometimes... And I liked the gothic setting of the first one. It's also hard to beat exploring the origins of batman.

Oh, and if there any parents out there thinking about taking there kids, watch it for yourself first, it’s pretty intimidating.

I hope they make another, with all the cash they're going to be raking in ill be surprised if they don’t, but unlike the first one it didn’t give any hints to a sequel.

You Aussies and your being a day ahead of everyone...

I see it tonight.

Also, all the reviews I've read say the same thing about The Joker stealing the spotlight. I can't wait to see it. Bought my tickets last week when I went to see Hellboy 2.

Great movie, I loved it, sat in awe. But friends and I were having this discussion. I think character wise and actor wise Harvey Dent was an excellent portrayal, possibly surpassing Heath Ledger's Joker? What you think about that?

On imdb it says that there will be three. Although now its unclear of who the villain will be. As Ledger is dead and two-face is dead in the movie. maybe its just me but it seemed there might have been a cat woman reference when Alfred was asking about the new suit, and asking if it will have protection against cats as well as dogs or something. Maybe its nothing but I wouldn't be so sure.

Ok well I was going to see it at midnight, but a certain girl decided to pass out on me. Then my other friends decided they couldn't go because of work in the morning. So I had to trade in my tickets to see it tonight because I was not going to be 'that guy' going by myself. Count me still jealous of people who have already seen it.

I was truly blown away by the movie.

Heath Ledger vs Aaron Eckhart

I think they both did an amazing job with their characters. In the beginning I would've said that the Joker had it, but when Harvey...[]...It seemed to fit him so well. I'm still not completely sure, they both were portrayed very well.

I do have a question, I'll put it in spoilers, though it really doesn't ruin anything: When the Joker first asks the Mob's leader "You wanna know how I got these scars?", was that how he 'really' got them? Later in the movie he said it was for his wife. I was arguing with one of my friends about this, he said Both of them were probably wrong. I said they were both correct, I think he was talking about different scars. I really don't know 'that' much about Batman, neither did he.


It was a great movie, if you haven't already, you definitely should see it.
