Oi! I got another thing to say. The two face guy. They used the wrong guy. One of the bad guys int eh movie looked more like two face then the one I imagined. The one Harvey Dent became was creappy but hey, I think one of the other guys would have looked better as the part. I mean, the one from the cartoon versions looked like one of the bad guys. Now that guy would have looked better the part. Oh, sorry for any spoilers.

Best scene in the movie:

"Look! I bet you I can make this pencil disappear."

And he did!

It was a good film made great by the performance of Ledger, whose manic energy and twistedly brilliant performance just lifted this film to heights it could never otherwise enjoy. Never.

Just spectacular stuff.

Haha oh my gosh yeah, that was seriously an amazing entrance for him <3

I went to see it last night, such a good movie. I have plans already to see it 2 more times >.> I'm so happy it turned out to be as good if not better than all the hype. Nolan can do no wrong.

I loved every scene the Joker was in, Harvey was great, I just wish Crane coulda been in it more.. he's so creepy.



[spoiler]I'm really glad that Joker didn't die at the end, I'll be interested to see what they do for the third movie with him..I mean because of Ledger being dead. Also, I wonder if Two Face is really dead or was he just out cold.. I'd like to see him again really, he's a great villain in TAS.[/spoiler]

I have to say, it bugs me when, no matter how much some people liked a movie, they spend more time pointing out the flaws that the good points. Of course everyone is going to imagine him differently. Besides, it's not always about getting actors who are the spitting image of previous versions of the character. It's about getting the best actor for the part, and I am pretty sure he does look a lot like Two-Face does in some of the more recent comics.

I LOVED THAT MOVIE!!!

I went to see it in IMAX earlier tonight! It was AWESOME!!!
It was by far the best movie I've ever seen!!!


If Heath Ledger hadn't been in it, it wouldn't even have come close.
I don't care if he's dead, he better win an award!

HOORAY FOR HEATH!!!

What guy d'you mean that should have been 2-face? I actually thought the guy who played him was perfect! Really all america and stuff, I thought he was great. And I've read Batman comics/graphic novels and watched loads of the animated series (I'm kind of a batman fan *shock*).

Ooh and I wanna see it in IMAX too, I have plans to go next week to see it 3rd time in IMAX - that'd just be too cool.

I saw it for the second time tonight, it just seems even better on the second viewing just because all the intricate plot points fit together much better. And Heath Ledger was even more amazing, I can't imagine who else they could bring in to do a job as good as that in the third movie.

[spoiler]It's been confirmed that Two-Face's death is ambiguous by the way so he might come back for the third too! Eckhart said he'd play him if he was asked to =] [/spoiler]

This sequel totally topped the first. I mean, I felt like this one was so much more believable in every way, even for a comic book movie. I mean, the premise of the first, what with the evaporating water and all, seemed a bit far out for me. Plus the Joker just makes everything better. *S*Laughter is the best medicine, doncha know.

Batman's acting wasn't as hot: I didn't like the gravely voice change for conversation. It works for the one liners ("Do I look like a cop!?" ~ Batman Begins) but for extended conversation, it just sounds a bit silly. But the rest of it may just have been that the Joker totally blew everyone else out of the water.

Seriously, I was wondering if all the hype about the movie and Heath Ledger's acting job was because of his death and I'll tell you what, I was totally wrong. He was utterly amazing. I haven't been able to get him out of my head since I saw the movie on Thursday. Seriously, I keep thinking about his performance, the character, the choices he forced upon people. I was on edge getting out of the theater and all night.

My big thing about Two-Face was the way they changed how he became Two-Face. In the comic books he was supposed to be burned by acid, right? I didn't quite like the change they made.

Awesome movie.
I am reminded of the babe by you.

I think it's a fantastic film. I loved the scenes with Batman and the Joker together, unlike some I thought Bale and Ledger played it superbly, and I thought the dialogue and writing were just fantastic. Everything is woven with such detail and fired at such a fast pace it's difficult to notice everything first time round (I've seen it three times), it's a great tale of morality, justice, and lengths you must go to protect what is right and what you believe in. There is so much more than just a run-of-the-mill comic book story here, and I loved the way that seemingly all characters who got screen time, even the normal residents of Gotham, had an impact on the story.

Brilliant film. An epic.

I went to the 12:01 showing of "The Dark Knight".
Best.
Movie.
Ev.
Er.

No joke.

I was afraid I'd fall asleep at first because it was so darn late, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

It was disturbing, yes.

But...I liked it!

The Joker was wicked freaky.

But I wished that Heath Ledger was still alive once it was all over so that we could have the Joker in the next movie!

My only complaint: It was the neverending movie.
I kept thinking, "OK, THIS is the end!" And it wasn't.

My opinion: They should have ended it with the debut of Two-Face so we could have him in the next movie. (Some of my friends think he's still alive, which would be weird, but cool.)


I CANNOT WAIT for it to come out on DVD! ^_^

I HATED this movie. It was so disturbing and violent.
I can't see how people can like it. >:/

The idea of it was to be disturbing and violent, the joker is a psychopath, twisted and yet lovable to many people. The idea of his character is to show total abandon and chaos, it had to be violent to get that across. C'etait le point.

Anyway, some people just like violent movies ^^
