The Dark Knight

[Rappy Veteran]

I will be interested to see what other actors are in the running for the oscar but there is a few months left in the oscar race.

Heath Ledger DESERVES an Oscar.

He put his 'Soul' into the Role of Joker, and made Joker SO AWESOME.

If he don't get nominated, the Oscar people are Bunch of Bigots that just HATE comic/action/sci-fi movies.

He will get nominated for sure but if he wins is a different thing, there maybe other people who have done other amazing roles.

This movie is gunna kick some serious ice

..i had to do it :D

[SuperJediMedia]

Damn, most of the reviewers gave it a negative are from New York!

Any connections?

[Circaflex]

all i know is that was one of the best movies i have ever seen, the joker was just so evil and cool. ill probably go see it a few more times

[Ayepecks]

I think it'd be a shame if Ledger didn't at least get nominated, because that truly was one of the best supporting roles I've ever seen.

I went to see it today. It was very good! So much better than "Begins" if you ask me. The first one kind of bore me a little bit, i know some of you might disagree but this one kept me interested the whole time and the story is so complex. It doesn't end when or how you think it will either.

I am still in awe. What an awesome movie!

[HellasVagabond]

This movie is obviously based on the original movie not only in plot but also when it comes to the scenes........Its good to base something on something that was approved and loved by the entire world.....However i wouldnt call it an original Batman but a rather Updated version of the original movie with better effects and different cast.

Still it is on par with the original film but i can never place any Batman movie above the First one.

[Draconian Guppy]

Hmmm I though/have read that even though "blockbuster" movies might get nominated, they usually never win.

Although hands down ledger deserves an oscar for best actor.

I know where you're coming from. Burton's 89 Batman will always have it's place in many of our hearts. I mean, it was literally the first Batman movie that was dark & had a lot of style to it. And how can you forget Nicholson & Keaton's performance.

[sanctified Veteran]

To be honest I can put The Dark Knight above any other Batman movie or in fact any comic book adaptation movie. To me Ledger did the definitive Joker.

Damn I want to see it and I have to wait until July 24 :(

You can't even really compare this new Dark Knight series with the Burton originals or the other ****ty ones that followed.

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight clearly have their roots in Batman: Year One, Batman: The Man Who Falls, and Batman: The Long Halloween.

The Man Who Falls was directly implemented into Batman Begins. That is where they came up with his childhood and his travels throughout the world and how he learned his training from Ra's.

Year One is where they get Carmine Falcone and the background and story of Jim Gordon and how they lead up to the Joker in The Dark Knight.

The Long Halloween basically inspires Harvey Dent and his formation into Two-Face.

Question: what was everyone's reaction to the "magic trick" scene? The entire theater I went to was cracking up... that had to be one of the funniest moments ever in a serious action movie (IMO, of course).

I wouldn't have really thought it was funnier than it was badass.

I was more to "WHOA!!" than "LMAO!". I think that scene was shocking and funny in equal measures.

[4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran]

I want to see this tomorrow... lol

We all laughted but I think it was more of a catarthic reaction than a "this is fun" laugh.

[Ayepecks]

^ Well of course, but still hilarious nonetheless :) Me and my friend looked at each other and just said "badass!" and cracked up.

Indeed that was the best way to introduce the character fully. That set the tone of th character development for the entire movie.

I still cant believe how good it was.

[Ayepecks]

Agreed... I'm still pumped up about the movie and I saw it 12 hours ago or so. I want to see it again, but I don't exactly have money to be burning through.

[sanctified Veteran]

Did the people at your theater jumped in the "look at me!" scene too?

[Purple Haze]

All I can say is holy *$@% wow.

What a movie.
