Just saw the Dark Knight!!

sakeido · 07-17-2008, 03:56 AM

Don't want to spoil it for anyone though. It lives up the hype. Far better than even Batman Begins. Absolutely riveting at all times. Incredibly exciting. Surprisingly profound.

5/5!!

When was it released?

It opened here yesterday, the ushers had night vision goggles on to detect hidden cameras and whatnot, intense.

I want to see it, but I never have time to go to the theater and there are a ton of other movies I want to see: Iron Man (hasn't been released here yet), Indiana Jones (was released here, but haven't had a chance to see it), Hancock (will be released here pretty soon), and a few others I'm forgetting.

Been looking forward to The Dark Knight, though. I've been a Batman fan since I was a little kid and Batman Begins was the best Batman movie to come out so far.

jaredowty · 07-17-2008, 05:25 AM

I just saw it too, thanks to my friends at the local theater...

I want to see this movie again, because there was a lot of shit going on and a lot to take in...however, I can already say from first impression that it's one of the best and unique films I've ever seen. All the acting was so believable, by the last twenty minutes I was literally on the edge of my seat.

Can't really tell you anything more than that without spoilers.

5/5

Sweet, can't wait until it opens here.

Was Ledger's portrayal all it was hyped up to be?

7 Dying Trees · 07-17-2008, 07:38 AM

I realy am looking forward to this

ohio_eric · 07-17-2008, 08:24 AM

Nick · 07-17-2008, 08:26 AM

It definitely was, he was great. I feel bad for Aaron Eckhart because his performance is fantastic as well, but he is just totally overshadowed by Ledger. But even great as Ledger is, this movie is so well put together, he doesn't overshadow it. It is one of the most perfectly made movies I have ever seen.

Every single critique i've read today said:

"Batman begins" was an EXCELLENT movie. "The dark night" is even BETTER.

Can't wait!

Absolutely, if not better. Every other performance was stunning too, but Ledger was just something else.

And yes, this is much better than Batman Begins. And I LOVED Batman Begins...

Clydefrog · 07-17-2008, 03:42 PM

I'm going to be seeing this saturday at noon -- IMAX.

WHOO!

FortePenance · 07-17-2008, 03:59 PM

Probably gonna see it Saturday. See if I can get to the expensive theatre where they have about seats for 12 people and a massive screen.

Wall-E and The Dark Knight will be the best summer films, period.

sakeido · 07-17-2008, 04:02 PM

I'd put Iron Man and Hellboy II up there as well. When it comes to the visual aspect of the films, I liked both Iron Man and Hellboy better - more imagination in both. That almost feels sacrilegious though, considering how incredibly good Batman is. It is definitely the best superhero movie of all time, and one of the best movies of all time period.

kristallin · 07-17-2008, 10:45 PM

Ledger is every iota the psychopath the Joker is supposed to be. His portrayal was so believable, you weren't under the impression that he was playing the Joker, he was the Joker. Pity the bloke died, cause he set the standard for the character with his performance IMO.

daybean · 07-17-2008, 11:13 PM

just got my tickets today, taking off in about an hour to see it. a little
