This isn't only the best comic book movie I've seen, it's not only the best movie of the year, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
In all honesty, that was un-fucking believable. The Joker is beyond epic. One of the most amazing performances I've ever seen in anything and one of the absolute best movie villians. Ledger's Joker ascends the ranks with Darth Vader and Hanibal Lecter |

I mentioned this in my spoilers which is why you probably didn't see it Kirk but yeah, there are plenty of Killing Joke references, undertones and moments.

I'm gonna write a proper review another time, but for now.
Compelling. If there is no Batman-Nolan 3 I will still be satisfied with this movie. It outclasses the superhero genre as a whole IMO. Joker was great, but I'd like to give it up to Harvey Dent/Two-Face. This was his origin story all the way, masterfully done. In no way did the movie 'spiral out of control' with a wacky third act (that even Begins is guilty of). All in all, I loved it. I will watch it again. |

Amazing movie. I hate comic book movies with a passion but I always love Batman movies for some reason. This one was tremendous and Heath Ledger was incredible. Every time he was on the screen it was ridiculously entertaining.

Sweet, thank you Mitchell. Might do a double-bill with this and Hellboy 2 in a couple weeks, not sure yet.

I've never done this before, but I might go see this again tonight, which would make it three consecutive theater viewings in three days.
I can't get The Joker out of my mind. He's up there on screen saying things that I used to think and feel, and it's such an amazing performance and the scenes with him and Batman and the Crime bosses are just so intensely satisfying. I am addicted to this movie, I think. |

Just got back a little while ago. Best movie I've seen in a long time. Heath Ledger gave the performance of his life, and should get an Oscar nod.
And to any DC Comics top brass who may read this. Congratulations, you broke the one-day opening record. If this break every record in the books, I suggest you give the Nolan Bros. seats on the Board or a good chunk of stock within the company. Because they probably just saved you ass. And one thing that I kept asking myself after the movie was over, you think Chris and John Nolan could have gone the extra mile and go with an R rating? Or do you think DC told them to mellow it out to bring in all the kiddies. Because I thought this came REALLY close. |

The 'pencil trick' is probably the most shocking thing I've ever seen in a PG13 movie, but no point going for an R for the sake of it. And I have to say this movie the highest body count of any DC movie to date. Correct me if I'm wrong.

There were multiple articles asking if Ledger's death did anything to alter the Joker's fate in the movie. If Joker died, the answer would have answered itself.
And coming in this 'official' thread not expecting a spoiler is asking for one. These movie threads have phases; the announcement/speculation period, the reaction to news period, the group therapy 'its about to open' period, and finally the post viewing review period. I always seen it has an unwritten rule with this kind of thread. |

Aaron Eckhart stole the fucking show, crazy good performance. Ledger was also entertaining.

Lol as of me posting this The Dark Knight is number 1 overall on IMdb's top 250 films list.
I'm sure that will change in the next few days, but I don't think I have seen that before. |

Seriously Kalyx.. until this movie has been out for a while, you can fuck off with that kind of talk. Some of us haven't been able to see it yet, but I am still pumped by the fact that people are raving about it and I'd still like to keep seeing opinions without getting even the smallest parts spoiled. Use the spoiler button or black that shit out.

I am simply speechless right now.... For me Ledger's performance is one of the few times i've seen where the fine line between the actor and the role their playing is blurred. Every time Ledger was on screen I didn't see an actor reciting lines, I saw a dark and twisted homicidal maniac with no regard for human life... even his own.

I loved this movie. I've seen it twice, and really I think I liked it more the second time since there were a few scenes that, at least for me, were a little confusing the first time around.
I think King Tut should be the villian in the third one. |
