The Dark Knight

Ledger was awesome!! I would say better than the Joker played by Jack. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Weren't the Hoosiers at least the front tires on the car in the last movie? I don't remember really seeing the rear tires to know?

The rear tires were Interco Super Swampers, the defacto gold standard for hardcore rockcrawler offroading. They would SUCK on the street, and they would DOUBLE suck doubled up on the back of a jet powered car on the street...but they look *****ing

Saw this Saturday night and the 10:35 showing was almost sold out. Supposedly a couple of local theaters are sold out through this Tuesday!
Definitely the darkest of the movies and Ledger as the Joker was amazing. I thought this Batman was different from the prior movie because he was willing to do whatever it took, short of breaking his "one rule."

Wow. Fantastic movie. Best Batman so far....

I really liked the movie. I thought it was interesting how the Rachel Dawes character aged like 30 years and Bruce Wayne looks the same. Maybe they should have tried harder to get Katie back. I liked how they kept the characters really close to the comic versions. Hopefully, they will be making some more movies with these guys.

Well, its not that difficult. The joker just wants to cause chaos and hurt Batman if the chance presented itself. Hes not motivated by money, power or fame. Pretty much the joker is insane.

I didn't like it that much. Good for the first half, then it starts feeling overlong and Batman starts seeming ineffectual. The Joker schtick is getting old, and Heath Ledger's Joker isn't better than Jack Nicholson's.

awesome movie!!

Went last night - holy moly! Fantastic! It takes a lot to one-up anything with Jack Nicholson, but this one absolutely blows the "original" out of the water. Very dark, sinister and well-made.

The joker is an absolute sociopath in this one. . . Fantastic job!

I saw it in Imax last night.

Well worth it. I'm going to go watch it again in 2 -3 weeks, in Imax. Amazing movie.

Great movie. Heath Ledger's performance as Joker was incredible. First time I ever had to wait 2 hours in line to go see a movie...and it wasn't even opening day.

Featured a nice display of Italian trash as well (Lambo & MV).

Just watched the Batman movie with the scarecrow guy and thought it was excellent (yes, i know i'm behind the times!)

So.... Bale arrested for allegedly assaulting his mum and sis. That can't help ticket sales.

Loved the movie, but thought it was 45 minutes too long. I'd love to see Heath Ledger get the Oscar posthumously. Amazing character.

[Venetian]

Good movie but had trouble understanding some of the dialog. Perhaps the speaker system(very loud) or my poor hearing.

[mikester]

Man - that was a good movie. Long though - not complaining but pee first.

[Nathans_Dad]

Just got back from the show, really really great movie.

My only question is who are they going to bring out next? Scarecrow has been in 2 now, and just a bit part in this one, the Joker is still alive but the actor is dead...I can't see them sticking anyone else in that role and pulling it off successfully...and Two-Face is dead. I was bummed to see Two-Face go, I really like that character.

So I guess Penguin and Riddler are left...I hope they don't go into the Catwoman thing...

[air-cool-me]

Harvey Dent is dead... or the idea of him

two face dead? i dont think so?!

[Nathans_Dad]

Well, I supposed he could have just been knocked out...sure looked dead tho.

Just saw it. Thought it was pretty good. Definitely not what Disney (my employer) would make! Lots of CGI, but I'm told that they really did an end-over-end flip of the semi-tractor and trailer. Just about all of the vehicle chase/crash stuff was real.
