I’m still not totally thrilled about Dark Knight, but I do applaud their viral campaign. They ought to win an award for pulling this off so successfully.

I can’t wait to see this movie. It’s going to be awesome.

I loved Batman Begins, so I am anxiously waiting for this movie.

Check out the new The Dark Knight poster:

Took this the other night in the city.

Everyone kept telling me to go se “The Happening” I was like “Uh… I’ll save my cash for the Dark knight”

and they are like “I never liked batman.” and I’m like “Well I do… Batman is my Boi!”

I have to admit, amidst all of the hype surrounding The Dark Knight, I was a bit skeptical. Forget it. Thinking of visiting your grandmother tommorow? Go see this movie instead. Best movie I’ve seen this year.

I’ll probably be seeing it Monday! If I can wait that long, didn’t feel like fighting the crowd really. :smiley: :cool:

Yeah, at our theater they sold out the 12:01 show, so they opened a 12:02 show. That sold out pretty quickly as well, so then they began selling tickets for a 12:03 show. There were lines to get into the building that stretched around the corner. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Went to the 3am IMAX show late last night/early this morning. IMAX is, BTW, THE way to see a flick in the theater. Keeping it free of spoilers, my brief thoughts:

I honestly went into this movie expecting to see something groundbreaking; I was looking forward to TDK, and was interested to read the early positive reviews. While I always lean towards the “comic” style for the character (ie 66, Burton, etc.), I can appreciate what Nolan’s bringing to the table.

After the screening, I can honestly say…I was wholly disappointed.

While I appreciate Ledger’s performance, I would hardly lump upon it the praise that some have offered. It was indeed surprisingly violent (even when expecting it to be heavily such).

I found this to be a combination of a Mission Impossible film, a Steven Seagal slamfest, and a new-vogue crime thriller. Despite the constant nods to the psychology of the thing (“the man behind the mask”), the suit was, IMO, unnecessary: Batman, as a singular character, is not needed to allow TDK to be what it is.

I’m sorry to say that this will be near the bottom rung of my bat film list.

I’m seeing it at IMAX on Sunday… can’t wait.

I went to the midnight showing, and I thought it was pretty damn awesome. It was rather violent, but I think they did an excellent job. I especially like how their aesthetic for this continuity of batman films seems to be (at least partially) inspired by Batman: The Animated Series. Batman is supposed to be dark like this, and that’s what made it so enjoyable for me. Anyone disappointed with this film must not remember Batman and Robin…because even if you don’t like this new one, you can’t say it was as bad as that one! :stuck_out_tongue:

I saw it last night at the midnight showing… All I can say is WOW! Absolutely awesome!

It didn’t have a sequel feel to it, it was good enough to stand on it’s own I thought.

I don’t want to say much more until most everyone else has seen it. But it was down and dark in the best way possible. It was not your typical superhero movie. I loved it!

I went to a midnight showing here, and I was very impressed by it, even as skeptical as I was because of all the hype (which as a movie nut, I tend to uncontrollably follow very closely).

My criticisms are few: It was made at such a different tone and depth that it almost feels outside of the same universe as Batman Begins.

It made Batman Begins feel like a fantasy film by comparison.

Finally, I have no clue how they will be able to escalate beyond what they did here for the proposed third part of a trilogy. My mind is absolutely blown how Nolan will be able to do it. But hey, then again, I thought Batman Begins was the be-all end-all of Batman movies until about 3am this morning.

Also, that Watchmen trailer was pretty tasty.

I agree with everything you said here.

I had read somewhere (don’t remember where now) that one of the possibilities for the third film would deal with the prosecution of the Joker. But this was long before Ledger died (it may have even been before he was cast), so I don’t know if that was still on the table. But it has probably changed now.

I too will be seeing it on sunday in IMAX ive heard nothing but good things. it cant come quick enough
