just went to see it last night (Australia).
Has easily entered my top 10 i would rate it 9.75/10.
Through the whole movie it never let up, some of the scenes even made me cringe.
Heath Ledgers performance was brilliant as was the rest of the cast, for me one of the most notable was Aaron Eckhart.

One of the best movies i have seen in the last few years i highly recommend going to see it if you dont you will be missing out.
im going to say 9.75/10 or DoublePlusGood

One question, PM if others might consider it a spoiler. How does it end for the Joker, did they leave it really open, ie. expecting him to return for a 3rd, or did they end it well enough that he wouldn't need to return.

lol "doubleplusgood".

I gotta wait 29 hours more to watch this. Can't friggin wait.

SPOILERS NO NO NO !!

Keep spoilers out.

5/5 from me though.

With reviews stating "better than Batman Begins," I can't wait to see this movie myself. I'll be glad to post my own review when I do; though I am sure you won't need my approval to see this movie.

And btw, spoilers with spoiler tags, plz.

I'm going to see it Saturday with a friend

PM me if you can CRIKEY, is the body bag scene in or did it get cut?

All I can tell you is Spiderman dies, and Superman is the father. SORRY NO MORE SPOILERS FROM ME.

^ Helps if you could stay in one comics universe lol

From what I've been hearing about how a genius Nolan is with this, I hope he does every single comic book movie from now on.

The Joker Survives

And the movie was brilliant, very very good. Really breaks the mould for an action hero movie in that you could have replaced batman completly and it would have still been a bloody brilliant mob movie. Unlike alot of other hero films batmans powers aren't whats brought to the fore here and instead it's far more story driven.

Seriously Ledger was so good. The way he darted his eyes about or popped his tongue in and out or his limped walk. It all just was so well done. I may be a bit biased being Australian but I really hope he gets an Academy award nomination at least for the role because it was just that good to watch. Seriously I preferred watching the Jokers scenes to Batmans because they just were so interesting and unpredictable and thats saying a bit with Christian Bale being IMHO arguably Hollywood's most talented actors.

Very true.

Heath steals the movie. Two-Face is awesome too. There is just so much to see and so much going on. I thought it was going to end shortly after a big chase sequence but it went for another hour, and I loved it!

My only real criticism was the lack of blood. I don't want anything as full-on as the latest Rambo, but this was a dark movie and would have suited it. Instead it seemed toned so they could get their PG rating.

9/10.

Man I wish I was in OZ! I have to wait until 24th/25th here in the UK to see the movie....until then I guess Ill have to stay content with watching the trailer to death http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7czGgDsmEE
Ill also have to make sure i keep my eyes and ears shut incase someone or something spoils it for me....

The Dark Knight was simply the best Action-Hero Movie Ever... It makes Spiderman look like an insect..This Movie Lived up to the hype.

Read on but Beware.. There are many Spoilers ahead.

Heath Ledger Played The Joker so well! I mean the whole facial expressions where so top notch..



Highly agree with that!.. The scene where Batman Confronts the Joker where he's locked up, The Joker took a hell of a beating.. yet little blood?

I love Movie Scores - and The Dark Night has one of the best Scores, Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, make the best Movie Soundtracks I know of! The Score from The Dark Knight was Mostly from Batman Begins but still... Brilliant.

I loved how Lieutenant James Gordon Faked the whole death thing, Kept me wondering... It's too early for him to die.. And No This has to be some setup

Did anyone Jump off their seats when: Batman had those white Eyes? - I am sorry to all other Directors, but they never EVER! followed that concept! I am Glad Nolan Stepped up and Did this, My god this made me so Happy to see Batman Like we have seen him in Cartoons but never in movies..I love Christian Bale, He makes Batman for what he is: "The Dark Knight" The whole when he puts on the Batsuit his voice changes.. Superb! Was this Nolans Idea? I don't see the older Batmans doing this. Christian Bale is the best Bruce Wayne/ Batman No one will be able to play him like Christian Bale So again.. Well Done Nolan I salute you as My favorite Movie Director... EVER. Its just the little things in the movie that make me love Nolan's Views, Like:

How the Joker Used his tongue and moved his eyes, Combed his hair with a knife?, Dressed up as a Nurse - THAT was pure gold, and when he was waiting for the final bomb to go off - his facial & body expressions where just GOLD. The Voice that Heath Ledger was so dark and evil but most of the time it was just like a clown.

There are 2 things I don't get.. One being:

Did Harvey/Two-Face Die? - If So? Don't you think its a little to early for that? Two-Face Only got such Little Screentime IMHO Aaron Eckhart played him so well, I didn't think he would.. but hell No one thought at the start of shooting The Dark Knight Heath Ledger would play A good joker.

And the other: "The Dark Knight" - Thats the title.. yes?.. but why was the movie so dark, and had little color.. was it the theatre I went to or did everyone who watched the movie think that.. It was a little too dark.

Did anyone stay after the credits? if So was there something I missed? Maybe Something Indicating to The Dark Knight 2? or Batman Returns 2?

This movie gets a 9.5 out of 10 - I wanted to know what happened to Two-Face and The Joker.. This can't be the end of Two-Face.. not so sudden.. its to early to kill him off and did Batman Just leave the Joker Hanging there?

100% agreed with your opinions but IMO: I really don't remember Batman's eyes being white but a little blue.. I missed the credits though so I wonder if there are any thing which may points to Batman 3 if any. I loved the bit when the Joker tried to bomb the hospital but it didn't explode as it should :lol: Also I did remember when watching Batman Begins Behind the Scenes or somewhere that once Bruce Wayne was in the Batsuit he becomes some sort of maniac or crazy.

Batmans Eyes have always been White.. every cartoon with Batman has had White eyes.

I have no idea what you are talking about, Batman in a batsuit as a maniac crazy person.....whaaaaaaaa?

Not gonna look at any spoilers. Wanna see this SO bad. Supposed to be going to see it at Imax on the 30th of July but might cave and go see it anyway before then on the normal big screen!

I want to look so bad too.... and the sad part is that I don't know when I'll see this movie. Chances are I won't see it until it comes out on DVD

What!!?? Howcome?

Money and time man, money and time. Every little bit I can hold on to, I will, though I do have some money sitting in my Paypal account...

I think in terms of color it was actually one of the brightest batman films. Certainly alot brighter than say the 2nd half of Batman begins or what I remember of the original 2 batman films with the Joker and Penguin. I mean alot will be dark but thats just Batman and Gothem City for you...that and batman is sort of a night ranger sort of thing.


Ohh and there was nothing after the credits. We stayed in case but yeah, nothing after them.

My local theater first showing its tonight at 00:00 and Im gonna be there

I am the same way but not because I don't have the time or money but because I loathe cinemas so bad.

in the movie his eyes turn white when he is looking through the fox operated mobile sonar machine

Can anybody let me know if there is anything after the credits. A yes or no will suffice.

I heard nothing.

there is an in memory of heath ledger thing but nothing sequel point outing.

i really hope heath ledger as the joker dosen't overshadow harvey dents story for the masses.

The way 2 face is created in the other movie is different in this one....

Did you love that to? did it make it feel like the cartoon? but in a good way?



Where?




Yes much more darker and more smarter.. got to love Nolan... but is this how he was created in he comics?

I mean in the movie, I know in the cartoon it's always been white but I don't remember Batman's eyes in the movie to be really white. Unless I am confused about his sonar vision and his normal white eyes? :-/

And for the second question I remember Bale mentioned something about once he is inside the suit he becomes a bit crazy (or becomes crazy in rage) because of the heaviness of the suit (from one of the Behind the Scenes clips from Batman Begins).

Ahh I get what you mean!yeah He has never had the Sonar Vision until fox introduced him to it, remember the phone?.. well Brucey did some additional things, this the white eyes - Sonar Vision

Oh the whole becoming another person thing with the suit.. Yep!

I think you should spoiler tag your uh... posts

Finally you understood what I meant Yes, Bale did mention that he became another character once inside the Batsuit. And thanks for the heads up for using the spoiler tag

*Changes previous post*

I won't see it until at least next week. I hate going to the theatres on opening weekend. It's wayy to busy.

Great movie but it really didn't live up to my hype. My fault anyways. But still a great overall movie.

Damn, I can't get the spoiler tags to work. I'll weigh in more tomorrow.

I'm not really expecting too much anyways, the hype train is on the move, and I didn't think Batman Begins was the best thing since sliced bread like everyone else did.

Just got home from seeing this movie. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOAAAHHH!!
The movie was super awesome. Joker was totally creepy and I think he will be in my nightmares tonight
The funniest thing was that the theater where I went (midnight screening) had like at least 20 people dressed as Joker !! With the whole white face make-up and the big red smile
I avoided sitting with one of them.. gave me the creeps
lol


but yeah.. I have the same question.. did two faced really die!? It totally looked like he did cuz he was not moving or breathing in close-up shots. Someone confirm please

Spoiler tags don't even work here. So I'll just shoot for it. Don't read further.

Joker you know isn't dead. It f's me up even more now knowing he could have been in the third installment. That Nolan had already plan for it. But now Heath is dead, Nolan will have to do rewrite it all over again. Sucks because I don't want to recast him. Two Face I don't think is dead. So did they fake his death? Was TDK just a first half of the complete trilogy after all? We'll never know.

Movie was awesome all around, though just a bit long. It's been said many times already, but Heath Ledger was fantastic(ly creepy).

The best scene in the movie was definitely the pencil trick.

yeah it was, i laughing so hard.


As for Harvey Dent dieing, maybe they just publicly killed him off and then moved him some where else. That is what I think they did and well... hope they did.

Lqv2015: Reply to my comment (or anyone else's that has spoilers) and look at the blocks being used:

This is spoiler text

Without spaces.

Doesn't work. Quote me & you can see the tag.

Just remembered the line from The Dark Knight

"I just want my phone call" - The Whole Facial, Voice, and body expression.. Had me in stitches!

also The Pencil Trick - Had the whole Cinema Laughing out loud.

Wrong! It does work! See?

Lqv2015, where did you get that avatar from is there a larger version?

Such a great movie.

I can't wait to see it again.

eh it was alright...

the part where joker said "we are destined to fight t'ill the end of time" was sweet. i am sure they will figure something out... That guy also still knows who batman is.

Great movie.

best movie ive seen in a LONG time, much better than indiana jones.

and pretty much every part in the movie where i was thinking "they should have done...." happened 10 seconds later (the hospital)

I just came back from the theater, Im gonna say it loud and clear:

IT FRIGGING RULES!!!!

Thank you Chris Nolan for giving us this masterpiece!! And people doubted this would be better than Batman Begins or Iron Man!

Heath Ledger: The definitive joker!
