Batman movie

[Dr T]

I just came back from watching the newest Batman: The Dark Knight. I did not know what to expect and I did not like the batman movie that preceded this one at all so I did not have high hopes that this one would be worth watching. It was an interesting movie. It was very thought provoking for me and fun to watch. It was too dark for my wife's taste. I wsa wondering if anyone else has watched it and what you all thought.

I loved it! I approached the film with very high expectations (I loved the Batman prior to this one), and they were exceeded in many ways.

I agree that it was very, very dark (definitely one of the darkest films I've seen). Certainly a thought-provoking film as well.

In the end I was literally exhausted from all that had gone on, but it was very rewarding through and through. The action's amazing, the actors are amazing (especially Ledger), everything about it is just...well, you get the idea.

Simply put: I can't wait to go see it again.

I'm going to go see it on Tuesday, looking forward to it.

My son just got home from seeing it. He said it was the best movie he has ever seen. Believe me he has seen alot of movies. Quite the dvd collector. He said Heath Ledger was amazing as the Joker. While I'm in no way a Batman fan..I have to admit my curiosity has me on this one.

I am seeing it tomorrow night (Saturday night). I'm pretty excited for it! The first one was pretty good (Brought new life into the Batman movies).
Then a heard a review on the radio this morning talking about how dark it was. The Critic even was wondering if the WB put some pressure on the Rating board to get the PG-13. They were talking this is about as close to an R movie as you probably can get (with Violence). Sense I haven't seen the movie I don't know, but that does worry me a little I guess. From what I understand, you do see some probably R type violence, just not long enough to get it the R rating?
I have also heard its 2 1/2 hours long (or close to it) But with that all said, everybody I have talked to thought it was a really good movie.
Well see how it is!

He's BEYOND amazing. He's absolutely perfect, stunning, and award-winning here.


The movie is intense, and very dark. A lot of "jump" moments for me. Several times my date and I were like "Oh my gosh, I can't believe that just happened."


It's my favorite movie, and probably the best I've seen. Although I'm not into cinematography, so my opinion on THAT is rather... limited. The rest? Loved it.



Also, Dr T, if you didn't like Batman Begins, then I think... I think you need psychiatric help. I'm sorry

I have not seen it yet,.....I have heard that its not a good one to take the kids to see....

[Misshalfway]

I see the previews and that Heath Ledger face just creeps me out! I loved the first one, but was still disturbed by the whole mask/magget thing. oooooo! shivers up my back!

I suppose I will have to go. The H must see it!!! But I wouldn't even think to take my kids even though, they of course want to see it. This and the new Hulk one.
