Batman: The Dark Night

[Raptor]

Loved TDK, couldn't tell Ledger was the Joker. The thing that made Batman Begins so good was the "how he became Batman" aspect of it, The Joker made TDK.

Hancock was good... until you found out (spoiler) that girl was a superhero too. Then it became stupid and I hated it from then on out.

Joker was the act of Ledger's life, he did an amazing job. I thought it would be an abomination of what Jack did but I'd go so far as to say that Heath topped it.

Oh by far, Heaths Joker was alot more realistic, I mean you could actually believe that he could be real, Jacks Joker was more over the top.

I think Jack's Joker fit in great with the rest of the Burton rendition.

Oh definitely, that whole movie was more comic book style, while the new movies are darker & more realistic.

Whats impressive is that mr Bale looks like a world heavy weight wrestler in TDK, when i've seen him in films like 'The Machinist' where he looks like a starving peasant on the verge of collapse, or 'American Pyscho' where he looks like a slimy stock market broker. Truly a man dedicated to his work, no matter the cost to his body. One of the best actors working today.

Yeah for what he went through for the role in "The Machinist" is just amazing, the guy went from 183 pounds to 120 pounds, which they said was a record for any actor/actress to do for a role, and apparently he wanted to go down to 100 pounds, but they wouldn't let him due to fear for his health.  All he ate was a can of tuna & an apple everyday to lose the weight.  The guy is just a really good dedicated actor, he's good with accents too as his normal voice is British as he was raised in the UK, but you'd never know watching him use an American accent.

After all the hoopla about this movie, I rented it in BlueRay, picture was nice and sharp.
What got my attention was the way the guy talked while in the Batman costume, hated it.  
Then the Joker made his entrance, I like the acting and plot played out for the Joker.
The worst part was the Batman Bike scenes, you can really tell how weak the scenes were and how it didn't sell you.

Yeah, some of it was a little Too far over the top, but overall i thought was really good and only paused it once to get a beer, and give back the borrowed beer.

I was really enjoying it when the screen went blank and I was asked to please take off my headphones because we were landing.  I didn't realise it was such a long movie.

I liked The Dark Knight, and I usually don't like the comic book movies enough to see them in the Theatre.  The first one With Bale was also very good, in my opinion the 2 are the best movies in the Comic book Genre.  I thought Heath Ledger did a good job, nothing amazing in my opinion, I was told by so many people that it was the best acting performance ever, in the history of mankind.  I just didnt think it was, although well done certainly no better than Bale's performance imo.

[Denholm]

I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

Christians Bales best movie was his first. He played the Brit kid in Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun".

I didn't dig the new Batman, didn't dig Bale playing him, and dont think Ledger deserves anything for his lispy Joker act. Had he not ate one bean to many, and croaked from it, I dont think he would even be considered. Had he licked his lips one more time I would have left. In fact I would have left early had I not payed full price to see the thing.

I finally broke down, no pun intended, and watched Brokeback Mountain. I didn't watch it for a long time cause I find the subject matter kinda disgusting. But I must say this director Ang Lee is a genius for the way he made this film and Ledger was incredible in it. Between the land itself and their lives, most of all Ledgers, there was nothing but desolation. He deserved an Oscar for that role.

The sad truth is I was super tired when I saw this and fell asleep midway through.  Woke up to my girl complaining about not enough passion..... Passion?  It's an adventure movie, what is that suppose to mean?

ugh
