I'm super looking forward to watching this movie soon. And not just for the Heath Ledger hype, but I just love these sort of dark, brooding films!
|
I just saw the Dark Knight(well technically I saw it yesterday) and it managed to exceed my already high expectations. As with most people, I felt that Ledger was absolutely amazing as the Joker. He was everything the Joker should be, funny, menacing, and creepy as well. There were several times during the movie where he made me squirm in my seat. Seriously everyone should go and see this movie.

Any one want to take a guess if we will see Two face in future Movies?
On a side note I've come to realize there is no real comparing the different versions. The original Series started out goofy in the 60's and became more serious in the 90's despite being somewhat campy after Michael Keaton left. That was great for the 90's.. The here and now 2000's demand a more sinister and serious version, I must say so far both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight have delivered... I don't think Jack Nicolson could have pulled it off in this version nor Heath leger pulled it off in the 90's version.. |
i just catch the movie and hour ago, in imax, it was marvelous, never felt so inside in a movie like this time. ill catch it on a normal theather on next week.
now for the movie, i like it a lot, and it set the standart bar really, really high for comic book movies, my god the joker was so convencing, scary and maniopulator, quite impressive. im pleased with the movie. enjoy it alot, the 2 hours waiting time in line was really worth it. |

Anyone notice Batgirl? Or at least the lack of. Like Gordon's daughter is never really shown. She doesn't have a speaking role either. I guess it's a nod towards Batgirl? Well very implicitly.

I'd rather the Batfamily never be involved if they aren't willing to work the idea of Robin into these films.
|
I wouldn't have complained if they introduced Robin in this one, only to be killed by the Joker halfway through.

Why would you have someone other than Bale take over now that he's identified with the character?
Also, Bale has offically stated that if they introduce Robin, he's not doing future movies. |
Not to take the mantle forever [remember Knightquest?], but to show the 'limits' of Bruce, the very thing Alfred warned him about in this new film. Plus, I wouldn't want a Robin either, so I think they could adapt without one.

Making a feature-length Batman film where the major plot thread is "Batman is hurt and can't do a goddamn thing" isn't exactly compelling. Bane is probably one of the easier villains to bring to the screen, but the rest of the Knightfall arc is just an endless series of awkward winces.
The only member of the extended bat-family that really fits into the films thematically is possibly the Cassandra Cain Batgirl. Anything else would just drive the films into the same painfully-campy ground as the last series. |

Hmm you think so? I dont know man...I think it would be interesting to see how far Nolan can take his Batman against a villain such as Bane. As you said, it would be easy to bring him to the screen, and I think Nolan could definitely do it And I agree to NOT bring an entire arc in, but obviously the screenwriters of these films were inspired by the arcs of the past...why not get inspired with that arc.

Saw the movie and thought it was awesome, honestly way too much hype over it, but I still liked it. Obviously Joker stole the show since it was the rise of a new villain in which Gotham has never seen before but didn't care so much for batman. Usually in a super hero flick the main character is out of costume for most of the film but for this one, since they weren't using cgi they thought "Lets milk the batman as much as we can" which is good because it shows the good/harm that batman does but I would have liked to have seen more other than "Oh damn I'm fucking things up now"
I agree with some of the things that lehah said Spoiler:
Anyways, the joker's scenes are the best. I could have probably been satisfied with the movie by just watching his scenes alone. Not that the other scenes were bad, I'm just a fan of the joker. |
Saw it for the second time today, and man, it's absolutely amazing. It's not often that I like a movie so much that I go right back and see it again, and what's crazy is that I feel like I could see it again tomorrow and still enjoy it a lot.
As for Heath Ledger, he is The Joker. He did a marvelous job. He's a shoo-in for a Best Actor nom, if not the award itself. I loved Iron Man, but I have to say The Dark Knight tops that. Awesome that we got two fantastic superhero movies already this year. EDIT: Hopefully no one listens to LeHah. |

Please explain to me what's so wrong with that statement.

You like things too much. That makes you uncool.

The year isn't over yet and we're already saying who should be nominated for what? Have you or I or anyone else here seen every movie to come out for 2008? Of course not - we're half-way done, lets see what else there is before everyone agrees to blow each other over a fucking sympathy vote because the fucker is dead. |
Yeah, that's it. It's certainly not that there is no way in hell Heath will get an Oscar for playing a fake-crazy (read: not even remotely realistic) person in a comic book movie. It won't happen. The academy never comes close to this kind of choice.
Was he good? Yes. Very. Will he win an Oscar? No chance in hell. Will he get a nomination? Almost assuredly no. Liking things to the point of having no logic at all? That's a problem, yes. And Cat, you keep thinking intelligent is just a way for people to think they're better than you. Good hustle, internet nobody #10383. |

Also, does anyone else see the complete fallacy in declaring an actor in a comic book movie the winner of an award based on, among other things, 5 months of movies that haven't come out yet? God damnit, apparently Deni does. Beaten to it. |
Yeah dont post your opinions about the movie or actor anymore, that is, unless you are a film school grad or know the ins and outs of hollywood.
What a bunch of a-holes. |
Obviously I haven't seen every movie that's come out, and like you said, there are plenty more to come this year. I'm just saying that based on this performance, I would think he would get a nom for best actor. The majority of the people voting are actors, correct? Maybe I'm just cynical, but I have to believe his death will bring him votes.
