The Dark Knight Breaks Box Ofice Records

Hey K # 27

I already saw the Twilight trailer on Youtube. it looks really good, but one of the reasons i’m going to see it is cause Cam Gigandet is in it + I really enjoyed the book.

I have no doubt that Bale’s Batman is the best! He’s so talented… and hot!!! And Heath’s Joker was perfect. I loved the film…

Cj go home loser

that movie was amazing
i saw it last night
heath was AMAZING as the joker
maggie gylenhall is a better rachel than katie holmes

I’m sorry to say this but I have to give this thumbs down.

First the good parts:

Heath Ledger is terrific as the Joker. I’m happy to say all the praise of his performance is not just hype. A postumous nomination is truly possible. However I still I’m not convinced that if he were alive there would be all this buzz .But sadly we’ll never know.

The cast is terrific and everybody gives uniformly great performances. Particularly the supporting performances by Aaron Eckhart and Gary Oldman.

Christan Bale makes a good Batman.

Unlke the campy 1960s TV series and “Batman and Robin” the Joel Shucmacher helmed fiasco, director Christopher Nolan and his team DO have a understanding and respect for what makes Batman work as a chasracter…

The Bad

While Nolan and company have a respect for Batman they also seemed bound and determined to squeeze whatever entertainment value can be found frrom the francise. I found this movie to be unremittently girm even so for me it overwhelmed the expereince of seeing it IMAX.

Even though Batman is a serious character there still can be a cathartic moment of release when you see him go into action. I said I t Not in this movie. I said I think Christian Bale makes for a good Batman and I do. I just wish he was giving the opportunity to play a Batman I actually enjoyed watching.I found the previous film in the francise “Batman Begins” to be a well-made but joyless film I have no interest in seeing again. I’m sorry to say that I feel the excact same way about “The Dark Knight.”

I was disappointed.

Unlike the campy

i thought the dark knight was the best movie ever it was action packed and funny. heath ledger made the joker stand out from the others it was the best. one of my favorite parts were the pencil scene. RIP heath ledger. GO SEE THE MOVIE YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!!!!!!!

Look how amazing this movie was with NO cgi! Could you imagine how much better it would of been if they had used it. Mind blowing!

I’m a big batman comics fangirl nerd and I really liked this movie because I think it finally showcased what the comics are all about. Not all comics are meant for puerile male interests. Nolan definitely payed homage to the Batman comics while adding a viable Batman universe all his own. The themes of this movie run much deeper than a rubber suit. I think my favorite themes were the nature of insanity and the nature of inherent human goodness and hope. Although the storyline was changed from the comics, I never once found myself making the usual nerdy critique (like when watching something like Wanted or the X-Men movies). There was simply no need.

Ledger played the Joker perfectly. The joker is supposed to be fueled by an incomprehensible insanity and the need to have Batman as a rival. He is also supposed to confuse you a bit - he and Batman are very similar when you look at the base characters. Although I always loved Nicholson’s campy Joker, I couldn’t believe how well Leger understood the role. I hope they include lots of extras on the DVD showing more of his ad libbing in character.

Eckhart is incredible as Harvey Dent. He too masters the internal struggles of his character and is able to subtly express them early on in the film, making a great segue into the latter part. I was excited when I heard he was cast for the part and I was certainly not disappointed.

Why does everyone keep picking on Maggie’s appearance? Who cares? She’s a great actress and she added life to the role. I used to love Katie Holmes but I didn’t think she had any chemistry with the other actors in Batman Begins, nor did I think she possessed the quiet steel strength needed for the character of Rachel Dawes. Maggie is a great actress and she fit into the role seamlessly. Never even noticed poor Katie had left.

Bale of course did a fantastic job as well, but even he admitted that for this role he stepped back quite a bit - Eckhart and Ledger have such strong presences in the movie. I hope the next movie gets made because he will have an amazing role to play if the storyline continues into the next film

You don’t have to be a Batman fan to enjoy this movie! It’s about people, themes, and relationships - the ’superhero’ part is really pretty toned down. I’m not going to say OMG BEST MOVIE EVER but certainly, paired with WALL-E, this is the best movie season that has come around in years.
