The Dark Knight

It is SO good!! We went to the midnight premiere (of course). I waited 7 hours, and every minute was worth it. It had some cheesy lines, but they worked. Heath Ledger is absolutely amazing as the Joker. He's my hero (both Ledger and the Joker

)

Go see it if you haven't already.

P.S. I'm soooo not sleeping tonight (it's about 3:30ish AM.......)

We're going to see the matinee on Saturday. Christian Bale is one of my favs and I really can't wait to see Ledger as the Joker. I mean, just look at this!

I so need to see it.Christian Bale is awesome,such a shame about Heath Ledger I think he would have done some great things.The children's museum has a replica of the batmoblie that was used in The Dark Knight ,you couldn't touch it but it was really neat to see.They had a Naboo Starfighter a couple of years ago but you couldn't touch it either

It was sublime. Absolutely sublime. I went to the 12:05 showing last night to a packed theater. I don't want to give anything away, but Chris Nolan somehow got even better since Batman Begins.

When I grow up, I want to be just like him!

I second this. Chris Nolan is amazing.

I forgot to mention:

We made shirts that had this on the front (hand painted):

and "Why so serious" painted on the back. There were so many people dressed as the Joker. It was amazing.

Went Friday night to the drive-in to see it.Yes there are still drive-ins

.Watched The Dark Knight and Journey to the Center of the Earth.Dark Knight was amazing..Ledger was crazed,frightening and the best damned Joker ever!Want to know how I got this scar??? Journey was alittle *yawn* but there were a few funny parts.I was hoping for all the glory of the past ones.And more dinosaurs but oh well.Dark Knight totally made up for it.

Saw it. Seeing it again. Can't wait to own it. Wowza.

"Mr. Ledger, I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine."

Figured this was fitting... anyone see this back when he died?

I just got back from seeing it. Great movie, but I made the mistake of getting a large coke forgetting that it is also a longer movie.

Someone brought their 5 year old to the theater, I guess it (not surprisingly) scared him because he started throwing a small fit about half way through and they had to walk out.

Best movie of the Summer / YEAR.
My 21 year old daughter and I went (she actually sat through the whole picture without once going to the restroom!) Saturday and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Don't want to discuss it much now (don't want to give away any spoilers to those who haven't seen it yet) but I plan to hit another matinÃ©e after work today.

There are no words to describe how FREAKING AMAZING this movie is.

But I must say - I will never look at a pencil in a magic trick the same way. EVER AGAIN :crazy:

Dickson · July 24, 2008, 02:59:44 PM

I haven't seen it--going to an afternoon show tomorrow. CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!!!! I'm a HUGE Batman fan and am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad the movie franchise has gotten its feet under itself again. I've never been angrier at Tommy Lee Jones for doing such a shitty job with my favorite bad guy.

freeatlast · July 24, 2008, 04:48:28 PM

I'm headed to Dallas on biz next week so I'm going to watch it in 70 freaking foot IMAX.
Suck it bitches ! ! ! !
Dammit.

I'll be in the minority of people who say, "It's pretty good."

I think it felt every bit of 2.5 hours, the last twenty minutes of which I just wanted it to end already! Yes, Heath Ledger did a spectacular job portraying his unique Joker. At least his last role wasn't a forgettable piece of junk. He went out leaving an indelible mark. I liked the previous Batman film better, and think that Ironman was a way better movie.
