The Dark Knight

ShyGuy727 · 07-18-2008, 02:36 AM

Movies should not be allowed to be that good. Seriously. My mind is blown.

The Joker is amazing. Harvey Dent is amazing. Ledger needs an Oscar-nomination.

Instant classic. Perfectly paced, easy to follow, genre transcending.

*splooge*

Dr. Furball · 07-18-2008, 02:53 AM

My thoughts exactly. The Joker was terrifying. As he should be.

ShyGuy727 · 07-18-2008, 02:59 AM

Terrifying yet hilarious. The pencil joke is going to be iconic.

The way the movie was mainly about Wayne and Dent, with the Joker serving as the catalyst for everything was just perfection. I couldn't get enough.

It's 4am and I want to call all my friends and tell them to go see it as soon as freeking possible. I've never wanted to talk about how much I loved a movie before.

Sean P Kelly · 07-18-2008, 08:06 AM

I not going to see the movie until Monday (since that was one of only two IMAX times I could pre-order).

Make sure to use spoiler tags when you talk about the movie.

Why so serious?

Panfan · 07-18-2008, 01:36 PM

My dad ordered tickets for the symphony for tonight and I'm going to Hancock with a friend. =/

Hopefully tomorrow.

Correction: IT BETTER BE TOMORROW. I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE.

I've never experienced orgasms in my mind before, but I must say, it's a feeling I'm rather anxious to attain again. ^_^

ZeldaGirl · 07-18-2008, 02:56 PM

^Too much information, lady!

Swordmaster Link · 07-18-2008, 03:02 PM

Nah, not really, not for Kae. She keeps it real.

Brandon2390 · 07-18-2008, 05:39 PM

Can't really add anything to the table, but it was a great movie.

ShyGuy727 · 07-18-2008, 06:09 PM

I'm just curious who they're going to go with villain-wise in the next one.

Spoiler Below

They left it wide open for both Dent and the Joker to return, the latter only if they could find the right person, DDL maybe, though those are now huge shoes to fill.

Penguin I wouldn't mind, but please no Riddler or Ivy.

$18.5 mil at the midnight screenings, a new record. I think it will destroy Iron Man's half bil, and we'll be seeing Spiderman 1 +2 type numbers.

Joker · 07-18-2008, 06:36 PM

The wife and I are trying our damndest to get a babysitter so we can go see it tonight.....The last thing I want to be is one of those parents who bring their little kids to movies so that they cry, scream and ruin the movie for eveyone else.

Panfan · 07-18-2008, 10:09 PM

LETS DO MR. FREEZE, POISON IVY, AND BANE FOR THE NEXT ONE.

BUT LETS MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE KID FRIENDLY.

**X-3** · 07-18-2008, 10:36 PM

^THAT'S AN 'ICE IDEA.

Everyone seems to love this movie so far, and I liked Begins, so...guess I'll have to see this sometime.

Kae · 07-19-2008, 02:46 AM

Don't you pretend you don't like it ZG, you coy, coy girl.

I call Catwoman....just because of the little comment that Lucius dropped regarding Batman's new suit. After Bruce wryly asked if it would protect against dogs, Lucius mentioned that it was good against cats. Too casual a reference?

So there. And by the way, you would have a mind-orgasm too if you had caught the premiere in an IMAX theatre, as moi did.

Bomby · 07-19-2008, 09:35 AM

All these positive reviews are almost tempting me not to like it...

I'm sure I will, though.

***Cosmonautical*** · 07-19-2008, 09:44 AM

PENCIL TRICK OMFG

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 07-19-2008, 09:44 AM

Pencil trick? HELL YES. It was definitely the best scene of the movie; our cinema was completely full, and the whole audience burst into laughter over it.

Followed closely by truck-flipping. I knew it would be pure epic on the big screen. If I could post my huge excited grin from that moment, I would.

Oh, just remembered! On the ferries, Spoiler Below

my first thought was that this is the Joker. The detonator would've just blown up their own boat, not the other one. They should've included someone realising that. Also, I was excited to see the big convict dude throw their detonator out the window. Knew he'd do something like that, but still awesome.

Seriously.

Seeking Attention · 07-19-2008, 05:56 PM

Awesome movie!!!

Spoiler Below

You know they'll re-use Joker, maybe with another villain... I believe in Harvey Dent!!

Spoiler Below

Pencil trick was funny.

User Name · 07-19-2008, 10:20 PM

Spoiler Below

If Penguin is the next villain, I'll shoot myself in the foot. Also, I caught the cat reference too, Kae, nice call. My thoughts exactly.

Heath put a nice new twist on Joker with the anarchist thing like in the comics and made it his own so as to not take from Jack who was also great in his own way. Well done.

I love how the stunts were real like the semi-truck and the building exploding. That's what separates this movie from Iron Man. Very nice.

A must-see movie. I was very impressed so I saw it twice.
