    I think they finished filming last fall. I could be wrong. :/

    You should go and watch Batman Forever. That should tone those expectations down by a notch or two.

    Watched it last night. I thought it was better than Batman Begins. There were some surprises here and there, but probably because I've ignored all the teaser clips revealed so far.

    The Joker is awesome and portrayed excellent!!

    Batman was outshined in his own movie.

    Yeah there were lots of memorable quotes in the movie.

    "I'm like a dog chasing cars. Even if I caught it I wouldn't know what to do with it."

    Haha awesome. And yeah Dent's character was really well done.

    im going to the midnite showing in exactly 3 hours. Actually the movie should start in exactly 3 hours, im gonna have to be there about 45 min early.

    Im wondering if i should get there an hour early to get a decent seat....its a 12:30 am show, but still, you never know what people are like.

  12. #12
    It would probably be better to get there a little early so you get a good seat. As you said people do get there early.

    I went to a 3pm sitting, and we got there at 3 pm, but got awesome seats, there wasn't that many people in there, thank god.

    Edit: And the Verdict in; the Joker is the best villain out there. Sick movie.

    Did the guy that played the Joker really die though? =S

    The Joker was the only part of this movie that I liked.

    I was quite disappointed.

    And jesus they really went out of their way for propaganda.

    Maybe most of the theatrical elements were too deep for you.
    At least the professional critics caught on.

    There are so many intricacies....foreshadowing, symbolism....I loved, for example, how Harvey's luck came from a two-headed coin, showing that he controlled his own luck. Then, after the explosion, half the coin blackened, and, likewise, he became a man of chaos.

    The Joker, despite being a crazed lunatic, actually had a method to his madness, and saw beauty in peoples' true colors. This made for an even nicer twist when his expectations weren't met with the ferries he set up.

    The movie really felt that the tighter the good guys tried to grip gotham, the more out-of-control things became, which added an overwhelming sense of helplessness and panic. And here I didn't expect the Joker to be anyone special...

    The symbolism wasn't anything complicated. At all. I did admit they did a good job in several areas. They captured the internal conflict that Batman had to be perfect justice but human at the same time, just as it was in the Long Halloween. And I said that they did a great job with the Joker's and Dent's characters. Especially with the Joker seeing himself as the only "sane" one.

    But there were several scenes that were just fucking stupid. The first court case, the infiltration in china, the conflict with the spying on people through cell-phones (a parallel to the war), and the ferry scene was just ridiculous.

    Like I said before, this movie was more a mix of great parts and simply disappointing moments.

    If critics weren't so full of shit maybe I'd care.

    Edit: I have to admit though, what they did with the whole mad dog theme in the movie was pretty good. Having the Joker act on whim the entire time, hang his head outside the cop car, use the dogs on batman, etc, the writers did a good job on the villains.

    Perhaps you would like to expand here? Maybe in fact you are missing the symbolism. That or you have some bias for something that happened (it seems anything that might be perceived to be about the war is a nerve for you?)

    A fair number of people seem to hate this movie because everyone else liked it. That is my guess at their reasoning anyways.

    @ lucif - yes.... he died, where have you been the last 3 months.
    @ carnage - the joker definately outdid all who have tried that role before and really impressed... and the rest of the movie was pretty solid too.

    overall, kickass. This just took over the #1 movie of the year from Wanted.

    I'll admit some aspects of the movie really reminded me of the comic book, of which they did a good job. But then again a lot of parts were really ridiculous.
