The Dark Knight - Love it or Hate it?

[Anstice]

Tell us what you thought about The Dark Knight when you saw it.

Personally, I thought it was an epic, A+ movie. And I don't even like Batman.

Heath Ledger as the Joker = Amazing beyond belief.

Thanks for voting, but give us some comments!

im crying into my teddy bear because i cant go see it (that reminds me,where IS my teddy bear....?) anyway, no one to watch the baby and no one to go with, plus finding a theater that shows it in english would be a PITA. and the website i used to use to watch tv shows has been shut down (they had movies too)so i guess im waiting for the dvd. AND I LOVE BATMAN! he was my second crush as a kid, right after the car from night rider! lol

hahaha ahhh, hilarious. :p


Edit: oh yeah. Thread topic, I got distracted. I'm going to see it on Friday, so I'll get back to you. :)

[Temperance]

right after the car from night rider! lol

Mwahahaha. Kit was one HOT car!

As for the original topic, sorry. I haven't seen it, so I can't vote or comment. With the new baby, I'll be waiting for it on DVD.

You guys won't be disappointed ;)

Oh, and Bianca -

I saw it the other day and have to say that it was a brilliant crime drama inspired by some of the great Batman graphic novels. It's not just your typical comic book adaptation and Ledger's work here is simply pure genius! The whole cast gives a wonderful performance, in fact. Well done Chris and Jonah Nolan! Chilling.

[lp_fm_fan]

I loved it. Saw it twice. Once yesterday and the day before. It was truly amazing.

[LPrnw@y]

just got back from the movies.
simply brilliant! and H. Ledger as The Joker was just..wow

[nicolehayley]

Honestly, it wasn't a bad movie, it was just way too long.
It was well done, the Joker is brilliant in it, but overall, I don't think I'd sit through 2.5 hours to watch it again.

[Monty_Python]

I thought it was very very good. I saw it at midnight and then again on Sunday. I actually found the length more endurable the second time; don't know why.

Heath Ledger really does live up to the hype. I don't think he could have played it better.

[TankGirl]

I'm a huge fan of Christian Bale!

[Oresama_Shikou]

I'm yet to see it, but I'm expecting it to be mind-blowing.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Amazing. Just amazing. Not bored or fidgety at any point, which is unusual for me watching a long film.

Would definately see it again.

[AmandaC]

I'm just waiting to see it for the second time too. I think Bale deserves some praise and hype as well. Batman is truly the epitome of cool. However, the one bad thing about the Batman films are his ladies so if they worked on that, Nolan's works could be flawless. Having said that, I love the fact that there's no room for predictable, cliched romance in the Batman films because he simply doesn't need it.

And also, I thought the film's score by Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard was as brilliant as the one for the first film. Great filming accompanied by great orchestral pieces and you get a mind-blowing bigass movie.

thanks, you just made my day :D what a coincidence that i should read this thread right after i put the stinker (aka Lee) down for a nap so i'll have time to watch it!

(i now officially love you! lol)

[Highway2Hell]

as awesome as spowsum

[Shadow_of_A_Doubt]

I think it was fucking amazing. It wasn't my kind of movie, but I loved it anyway. Heath Ledger did a GREAT job! I think it was the best role he ever played. Atleast he went out with such a great performance.

[RaTeDsGrL]

I'm a huge fan of Christian Bale!

christian bale is soo hot :X

but no srsly i take back anything bad i ever said about heath ledger.

[Pure_Ainmhi]

I thought it was incredible. Heath Ledger was amazing as the joker. Really stole the show. Flawless.

[caha92]

saw it yesterday, the only real reason i went to see it is because of Heath Ledger [who of course is amazing in it], but i really enjoyed the actual story even though i was confused at some parts 'cos i've only seen Batman Begins, not Batman Returns. really good, i might go see it again:D

[I_B_Long]

i saw it online, but the picture quality scuked and i still havent been able to find a link that had the last 30 minutes ACTUALLY WORKING. so i dont know the end (dont tell me!lol)
i wish i could go see it in a theater, i bet its epic. i guess i'll have to wait till it comes out on dvd to see the end.

Why would Batman Returns have anything to do with this movie? Besides the inclusion of Batman, that is.

[zech004]

I voted indifferent.

I think spider-man and iron man were better movies.

weren't there 2 before it, Batman Begins and Batman Returns?

[I_B_Long]

[caha92]

shit i had no idea there were so many before it! how embarrassing:o
shows how much i really didn't understand Batman Begins if i thought there was one after it:o haha
thanks for the vid, "can Robin rotate his ankle any slower in the clam's mouth?"

[I_B_Long]

i loved the dane cook batman and rob schneider robin
"batman goes to hawaii"...LMAO


(i love current.com!)

oh and, batman begins is kinda like a prequel. i think (not sure its been a while since ive seen any batman movie) "the dark knight" is like the second prequel (again im not sure as i havent see the end of it) so story wise, it's
batman begins
the dark knight
batman
batman returns
and the rest is all blurry in my memroy as they SUCKED.

kinda like star wars, 4,5 & 6 came out 20 something years BEFORE 1,2 & 3.

[caha92]

hahaha they should definitely make that:D

[Flames_Go_Higher]

Liar.

Order of films for the uneducated:
Batman
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight

thats the order they came out in, its not the order following the story line tho.

[Flames_Go_Higher]

thats the order they came out in, its not the order following the story line tho.

I didn't specify that, I merely said it was the order. The dude thought he needed to watch Begins and Returns, which isn't true and I was pointing that out.

[I_B_Long]

i know. we had already settled that tho. check the link i posted on the previous page, got all the info (well kinda).

[Flames_Go_Higher]

But I know people on here are lazy and can't be arsed clicking stuff.

Besides, with Batman I think it's better to look at the new ones as separate.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

You're right. Though it's not just better to look at it like that, it's correct.
The old series of Batman films are completely unrelated to the new set. They figured they could make it better, so they did. They're not just adding to it, they're revamping it.

Glad someone agrees.

[Pure_Ainmhi]

Well at least they're doing a better job than Batman And Robin. Diabolical film.

[caha92]

gal:p
personally i don't think they should give them such names, where people like me can get all confused:(

[Emilia]

I went to see it yesterday, and I really liked it :)

[minuteman]

It was good, I liked it heaps. I'm not the biggest Batman fan around, though, but, having seen the previous movies and knowing basically all I need to know, I liked "The Dark Knight". Two-Face looked like just he did in the comics, I was so amazed at that - props to Chris Nolan for the best CGI I've seen in ages. :)

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Well at least they're doing a better job than Batman And Robin. Diabolical film.

Whoever cast George Clooney as Batman should be shot.

[aravind221]

one hell of a movie seems better 2 me than even than spiderman awesome graphics and joker what a splendid performance just saw it 2 days back wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

and i loved this scene and the magic act they was really funny :D

"Depending on the time he could be in one place or several"

Epic. I am now in love with Heath Ledger.

[stevie_g]

its one of the best films ive ever seen

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Epic. So amazing, I don't even know what to say. Heath Ledger was so spectacular, I loved every minute. Well written, well acted, beautifully directed. Masterpiece. Instant win. I can't give it enough compliments, but am so wowed that I can't string them together.

It's a shame about Heath Ledger, I always liked him.. but at least he went out on such a fucking great note.

I'm gonna stop rambling now. :)

spared me the words :p

[Rob1]

That movie was the tits. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with it. I hear people nitpicking the stupidest fucking things to say about why it isn't so great, but fuck em. That movie was classic.

I couldn't agree more. And the person that voted they "hated it" just committed a crime against film, if you ask me.

I'd say it's an instant top 10 for me, if not top 5.

[Rob1]

This is what the critic in the paper said about it;

(after gushed over Ledger) The same can't be said for Christian Bale, who's the worst Batman since Val Kilmer uttered the infamous "chicks dig the car" line in Batman Forever. Bale disappears in the suit, no character, no emotion and even worse is that raspy voice he adopts sounds more like Homer Simpson doing his Horse Whisperer impression than a menacing and mysterious Dark Avenger of the Knight.

..hackneyed dialog (Dent actually utters the groan inducing line, "It's always darkest before the dawn. And the dawn is coming".).

That's just bitching for the sake of bitching. I know that's what a critic does, and he gave the movie Grade A, but fuck, really reaching for it there I think.

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Yeah, I think he was grasping at straws a bit.

[cloudscream]

i loved the movie but i had enough of the Heath Ledger thing. i enjoyed Heath's role as the Joker so much, but when someone says "No one is gonna be the Joker anymore coz Ledger owns that role", i say stop the hype please. Heath handled the role perfectly, but that doesn't mean NO ONE can ever equal or even top his acting as THE Joker. cmon..

[Powwers16]

Is it even possible to hate the movie? Its easily one of the best movies i've seen in a long time

[WookieBastard]

just taking advantage of the uber necropost someone did...


I voted indifferent.

I think spider-man and iron man were better movies.

Iron man is no doubt Marvel's best movie, Spiderman 3 was just a retarded movie.

Every 10 movies marvel does, only 2 are good; in the other hand, DC releases just a couple of them and they are all impressive, kicking Marvel in the ass...

Anyways, Watchmen are coming next year, and i'm pretty sure it'll be way better than any other comic based movie done til then.

[Joannam88]

I watched it last night and it is AMAZING! know I miss Heath even more :(

[aravind221]

[aravind221]

I am :P

even if ur post a smiley like that im happy atleast ur happy right by doing :)

[Malefici]

Great film. Not as smooth as Batman Begins. It's about twenty minutes too long. The storyline was somewhat chocker-block but I think they handled it the best way they could.

[lpgrunt]

i thought it was really intense, the only thing i thought was strange was batman's growling voice

[crystalrussianla]

it was a great movie i loved it for one reson H. Ledger was amazing
i dont think any one coulda dune a better jod as the joker

[Kazuo_Kiriyama]

Jack Nicholson?

Okay, maybe not better. Completely different versions of the same character. It's just annoying how no one seems to acknowledge him anymore, since his version of the joker was also pretty damn good.

Jack Nicholson was amazing, but I gotta admit; Heath Ledger did a good job.

[lpgrunt]

i tend to agree. He made the joker crazy

[Widge]

I like Jack Nicholson, but his Joker was basically Jack in makeup doing Jack, only with more laughing.

Ledger pretty much dived right in.

I'm too bizy to go to the cinema..... Fuck my school!

Weekends? End of terms?

[Jay_of_Diamonds]

yes i loved this movie

Harvey Dent was one of the best characters in the movie especially in the end of it (but im not going to ruin it for ppl who havent seen it yet who come to this thread just to check it out)

[cloudscream]

Jack Nicholson?

agreed. Jack Nicholson's Joker was right on the spot too.

and for some reason i really like the playful Joker, the one on the animated series, withe Harle Quinn.. i think the dark (original) Joker is a joke. i fear the "happy" Joker more than the Joker in TDK. if the movie actually showed the Joker slashing peoples faces with his knife, i could not be any happier.

and for also some reason that i would not expose, i also dislike that seemingly repetitive line of Ledger in the movie: "Do you want to know where I got these scars?"

Personally, I thought they were both great, but they were so different to a point where you can't really compare them successfully.

I thought that was nifty, how everytime he said that line the story that followed was different. It underlined his psychotic tendancies, as well as the fact that he's clearly a compulsive liar, and made me wonder how he really got them.
