Brain Trepaning@Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 6:23 pm : Great review, pbmax, you sure changed my opinion of the movie!Hopefully others step up to the plate with similar undepth reviews like the ones we have submitted!
CrimsonHead@Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 7:46 pm : I'm not going to see it until next weekend when I get paid again, I took the kids to Wall-E this week that was a good one.

yeah, sorry. i didn't have time to write a big review, but its been on mind since i saw it. its haunting, dark & sinister, but yet the pace of the movie is relentless. you have no time to ponder what just happened or what you think might happen next because the movie doesn't allow you to. it move briskly from one scene to the next.
the musical score is down right eerie and unsettling at times. the sound effects are awesome (at least in the theater i saw it in). great cinematography too.
i have some nit-piks with it, but over all i'd give it a B+ or maybe an A-

evilartist@Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 7:38 pm : The movie was damn good.
There's some things I wish to comment on, but they're sorta spoilers, so I won't say anything. Just go see the movie, people. It's worth the ridiculous admission price.

almost the best movie of the year but then kung fu panda came out!
goliathvt@Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 3:33 pm : Easily the best Batman to date. I agree it's very much a contender for movie of the year. So dark and gritty, the way Batman should be. I loved it.
Heath's performance was quite the swan song, too. I foresee copious posthumous awards given to him.
Darkr0nin@Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 7:38 pm : It's a shame he died. I really like his acting.

CrimsonHead@Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 5:51 pm : CG and stunt actors, they only need to have the facial close up shots look believable.

Or...there can be different villains. The Joker had his fun. Let's move on to someone else now. Besides, I doubt anyone can replace Heath.

why no ONE f* long shot in that movie? too hard to copy from the elders? k, one scene got the true wisdom of cinematic:
and it was the best.

Here's an example, Track 1 "Why So Serious". The first minute of this track is an eerie tone. When you hear it in the theater, you know the Joker is gonna do something f*cked up.

CrimsonHead@Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2008 3:53 am : I saw it tonight, just got home, excellent movie. I kept hearing people rave about heath Ledgers role and I thought it was just the sympathy vote because of his recent tragedy but I was pleasantly suprised to find to see he did play an excellent role worthy of a posthumous oscar if that's possible. Great movie.

huh? so why is it that all the best movies i watched so far wouldn't even "touch" that one
(film noir, novelle vogue, auteur movie...wanna continue?)
yeah, and heath was really "inspiring", at least HE was.
ah and yeah, just some random quotes from that movie: "
you changed things, forever!" so truly, that converstation between badman and joker keeps really "inspiring" me,,,nobody has to understand, of course!

i like it. and finally we got a BAD batman, not some clown pose.
mavrik65@Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2008 9:50 am : yeah, I thought it was great the darker super hero theme is definitely something new and it was nice to have a hero who could be more vengeful, act above the law to catch the criminals ( fight fire with fire ). I also thought the joker was a great character ( that disappearing pencil trick was pretty funny in a sick way ). I'm only really talking about the story, but there's not really much to say about the rest of the film the special effects made cool looking car chases, the photography was flawless and the characters were pretty decent.
I suppose the main thing is that the film kept true to the original comics/graphic novels.
qwertz123@Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 6:20 pm : no, he kept true to US! (us as in terms of we or the whole population, not us, as in the acronym'ic form of united states, or so...)

Eather my grandpa will take me with him or I'll end up watching the movie with a friend when it comes out on DVD. Lots of action I heard.

Don't know who you heard the "lots of action" part from. This movie is more character and story-driven, like Iron Man. There is only a mild amount of action in Dark Knight (that's not a bad thing
)
