I wouldn't say the movie was completely unpredictable, if you know some of the basic parts it was pretty simple. Otherwise a definate 9/10 from me.

Agreed. Like I said in the c0re they tried to do too much in the movie. For a movie whose whole advertising campaign was based around the Joker, you'd think they would flesh out that character more. Instead they tried to force in Two-Face into the last 30 minutes of the movie while completely forgetting about the Joker. The movie wasn't dark enough either; it just didn't match the implied twisted character of the Joker.

Some of the more memorable scenes imo were:
-Batman in Hong Kong (as random as that was, it was still cool)
-Any scene with the Joker

B+

Saw it this morning at 830...Only IMAX show available all weekend (my fault for not getting my tickets sooner).

Wow. What an incredible action movie. I have always loved Batman movies, but when the new "darker" Batman movies began, I was hooked all over again. Dark Knight moved along at quick speeds, except for the end which dragged a little too much in my opinion. However, when it all finished, it left me wanting more. I hope this series does not quit anytime soon. Christian Bale is by far the best Batman to date. He pulls off both the "rich civilian" & "superhero" so well.

Now Heath.

Incredible. Lived up to the hype. Ledger took this role of Joker and owned it. He became Batman's worst enemy. Everytime he came into a scene I felt the sadistic, evil persona Heath was playing. As mentioned, the lip smacking noise, the eyes, that scene where he just keeps walking with the machine gun...the nurse.... simply perfect.

Heath has taken Nicholson's "Go with A Smile" Joker and re-created it as something even more memorable, that hopefully anyone who watches the movie will never forget.

Heath Ledger was fucking incredible.

cant wait to see it tonight

SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD

The only thing wrong with Bale's Batman was that overly husky voice...

Found it a little irritating...

Other than that he did a great job with the character...

Well the other actors changed them a little bit but I thought Bale went too husky...

You are right according to howstuffworks.com - see http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/batsuit2.htm - The microphones in the ears are combined with special earpieces in the cowl that give Batman superior hearing in the field. The microphones can also be used to amplify Batman's voice and broadcast it through a discreet speaker in the suit. This is what gives Batman's voice that distinctive, disembodied and unearthly sound.

Heath Ledger made that movie!!! Wow!

I was never a fan of that either. It creeped me out

Am I the only one who didnt like the movie at all?

yes.

Originally posted by Sasha Am I the only one who didnt like the movie at all?

so far I think so. what are your views on the movie?

I enjoyed it. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's an earth shattering revelation, but it's easily one of the best in the Batman catalogue, & beats the piss out of the rest of the comics turned movies.

As for this Ledger for Oscar biz, he was good & truly was the best part of the movie when he was on screen, but that's down just as much to character development and direction as it was to his acting skills. So I can't say he deserves to win outright, but a nomination for Supporting Actor could be in the cards thanks to a fairly weak field so far this year.

All decent titles... haven't seen Shichinin or Buono yet though.

Thought I'd throw this into the fray though:

City of God (Brazil, 2001...I think)

Brilliant flick, tons of action, some shocking moments, oh & it's a true story recounting the early years of one of Rio's top reporters of today.

I strongly recommend watching it... but for thtose of you that hate subtitles... sorry.

shichinin is the "seven samurai" and buono is actually "the good, the bad and the ugly" -- have you not seen that quintessential eastwood flick?
