The Dark Knight

[grady]

The ASC finally got their text online from the most recent issue involving the Batman. Worth a read, either before or after the film in regards to the process of shooting in the IMAX format.

Heath Ledger as the joker is the best part of the movie. I was absolutely glued every second he was on screen. This movie was a lot of fun, apart from it feeling a little too long.

....and Chicago has never looked so badass.

That was a really good article. Thanks for the link.

Damn, that's one great film. Heath Ledger was the Joker. There wasn't even a trace of him there. And Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two Face was spot on casting. Hell, Christian Bale pretty much had third billing here, and he was Batman.

I wonder who the next villain(s) will be in the next film.

The quintessential comic book movie?

I would venture a "hell yes."

spoiler?

SPOILER

felt a little long but heath ledger had obviously come a long way since '10 things i hate about you.' he was by far the best part of the movie... I'm not sure I was very drawn into the film by the other characters as much. There were no real light moments to make the dark moments impact you so much more. The light moments for me ocurred during what were intended to be some of the darker moments, for me... when real sadistic things happened, I laughed, because Ledgers's performance was quite good.

Amazing Movie, totally blown away by Heath's performance......actually....I don't even think Heath was ever on set, the Joker was played by the Joker instead.

Say it last night (after waiting for two sold-out shows to finish ).

It was indeed very dark, suspenseful, and raised some interesting issues.
There are amazing action sequences, but between the sustained tension and moments of heightened terror, i felt pretty dark myself upon leaving.

Such a marvel the difference between Nolan's two films and the increasingly comic and cheesy 4 predecessors.

good enough to see it twice in one day? yep.
yeah yeah yeah it's great and all that. i actually wanted the movie to keep going as long as it did, and the joker was obviously the best part of the movie. the hospital scene was just... beautiful.

YES. I felt kind of a mega dork because i went out straight out to get another ticket... and... i went today with a friend today again.. but.. it was sold out. I would watch it 3 or 4 or whatever times i think.

might spoil might spoil might spoill:






Uff. simply incredible. Gun powder bombs, patriot act, money burning and Fuck Morality. I love it!. The hospital scene is tops but i kind of love more the billions of dollars burning more and the "patriot act" machine is amazing too.

But i could pretty much say one word about the movie: Joker.
