Dark Knight review

**magic32** · 07-18-2008, 01:31 PM

INEXPLICIBALE...but you know me, I'll try!

Extraordinarily, and exemplarily electrifying, a conscientiously inautonomous (not actually a word, but there are multiple enduring allusions to Batman Begins) film that's unequivocally transcendent on every single possible theatrical level.

And duly dismiss even the plausibility of a sympathetic posthumous Oscar nomination for Heath. His performance was sublimely SUPERB, so much so that if it doesn't garner at LEAST a nomination (I fully expect him to win), it would be an egregious oversight of monumentally epic proportion!

I confidently predict that this movie will usurp all present major box office records in magnanimous fashion.

A MARVEL (pun because it's from DC) FROM START TO FINISH!

**smokeyd** · 07-18-2008, 02:33 PM

put the thesaurus down and take a deep breath lol jk i wanna see it so bad!!

**xlxBigSexyxlx** · 07-18-2008, 04:37 PM

Heath was the shit. He played Joker quite well.

Now if only Batman had some throat lozenges...
lol I couldn't stop laughing every-time he talked. It was just too cheesy.

But yeah, awesome movie.

Same here, great movie, but Batmans voice was really annoying..

***Doc.Sust*** · 07-18-2008, 09:15 PM

great movie. as good as it gets for this genre of movie. ledger's performance was one for the ages. might be the best interpretation of the joker character of all time. beats the shite out of the ceaser romero joker to say the least,lol!

**thetank** · 07-18-2008, 09:19 PM

scalpers were sellign tickets for this shit at 90$ a pop in ottawa. i wanna see it, but thats ridiculous.

**crawdaddy** · 07-18-2008, 10:44 PM

I loved Batman Begins, but 2 1/2 hrs of dark knight was a bit much. Movie was decent but way over hyped! It could have been split in to two movies.

totally agree. saw the matinee show today and i was floored. ledger was amazing.

a very gripping film, very dark. not your typical comic book cookie cutter superhero movie.

very well highlighting the inner struggles of batman and the difficulties of morality

**firmechicano831** · 07-19-2008, 10:00 AM

i loved the movie but thought it was to long.

Right on both. I have never been a Heath fan, but this role.... wow, thats all I can say.... wow. As for Batmans voice, hahaha, seriously, it was hurting MY throat when he talked, a bit over done there. Great movie though.

**firmechicano831** · 07-19-2008, 02:41 PM

I loved how he played the joker. that was the best part of the movie.

I agree completely. I have never been a fan of his work.....but THIS....this rendition of the Joker is incredible! I just got back from seeing it about an hour ago and I'm still in shock and awe.

***G-1000*** · 07-19-2008, 06:31 PM

Well im going to see it tonight at 10pm. I will let you know what i think after i get home.

**notus** · 07-19-2008, 06:42 PM

I thought is was pretty could but nothing to write home about. I like Heath and I think he did a good job but I think his performance is getting blown out of proportion because of his death.

***G-1000*** · 07-20-2008, 08:01 AM

Ok so i saw it last night. I thought the movie was great.

**TrashyTim** · 07-20-2008, 08:14 AM

Sick should be going to see it soon !!! Glad its got some great reviews from you guys .

**BUYLONGTERM** · 07-21-2008, 04:44 PM

I'm still in awe! Movie left me speechless! It was simply amazing.
Since I'm from Chicago, It made it even more special.

Can't wait to see it again.

Wow, to be honest, his performance far exceeded my expectations and his death has nothing to do with it. He was simply brilliant! If he doesn't get an oscar, I will be SHOCKED!

I agree, he should def. get an oscar... Before I went to see the movie I knew people would hype up his role cause of his death, but after seeing it with an open mind, I don't think you could hype his roll up enough. He was amazing and made the whole movie!!!

**bodybuilder1107** · 07-21-2008, 09:58 PM

havnt seen it but it broke the record this weekend with over 150 million

**Bojangles69** · 07-21-2008, 10:25 PM

You know what freaked me out? If you go on youtube and watch all of the intervies Heath did after the movie and before he died you will notice a serious problem with him moving around, scratching his arms, and acting like he couldn't take 2 seconds of being in his own skin.
Wish this dude would have saw a therapist.

agreed.

he looks like a mental patient in this video. the role must have really screwed with him or he had a lot of problems going into it.

still, a fantastic performance, but damn, what a tragedy.

**sam_sneed** · 07-22-2008, 03:05 AM

i'm watching it now. best be good after all this hype

**sam_sneed** · 07-22-2008, 03:30 AM

I just ****loaded the first part of the film. And immediately you can hear someone eating popcorn LMAO! picture is kinda shit also

**bodybuilder1107** · 07-22-2008, 07:06 AM

that video is messed up definately not the poised laid back ledger thats usually interviewed

**charliemurphy229** · 07-22-2008, 11:42 AM

best Batman movie hands down.

**Dukkit** · 07-22-2008, 11:53 AM

i had a boner the entire movie, no im not gay. the movie was just that exciting.

I've heard a rumor that his role as the joker got him to that point.
That he was so into his part, that he couldn't get any sleep, and he started living the joker outside the movie set
Drove himself crazy, and OD'ed....

that definitely sounds plausible.

**Johnny_Rotten** · 07-23-2008, 07:16 AM

Saw it tonight & thought it was phenomenal. Heath Ledger - R.I.P.

Such a wonderful performance. I'm an Aussie too so his death hit home a little because i love all his other movies.

I've heard that to get right into the role of the character he didn't sleep for a week or so & was taking heaps of sleeping pills to look deranged.

**mex83** · 07-23-2008, 09:15 AM

Great Movie, cant wait for the third part. I hope they bring the pinguin for the third part that is the other dark character I can think of when it comes to Batman.

My mom said something about that the other day and i was like wow then i realized it was heath that played the joker, guess its possible but i think you would prob have some underlying issues to let a movie character control your entire life, imo

Actually its partially right he didnt start living the joker life, he got into this character so much that even when he was no in the set he was still playing the joker. Also he got so interested on the joker that he started reading and reading about the joker to the point that he found out how "dark" the character was that he couldnt sleep and stuff like that. He would have nightmares and some other shit. Thats when he started taking sleeping aids and stuff like that and boom thats when he OD'ed. That's my two cents on what I have heard. Regardless its a pretty messed up situation what happen to him. R.I.P. to me that is a true dedicated actor.
