Re: Batman!
Yeah, the fly-overs in Imax were pretty amazing. Along with the movie ofcourse.

Re: Batman!
Jack was awesome in his time. But Heath has really dethroned him as the face of the Joker. His performance was stellar. Beyond anything I really could have ever expected.

Heath took those shoes, put some dynamite in them, blew them up, put them on, and kicked Jack's @$$ with them!

Re: Batman!
I've actually seen it twice already, loved it the first time around. The Joker really stole the movie for me.
Second time around I saw it after work on Tuesday with my roommates, and I was pretty tired. I didn't enjoy it as much, mostly because I knew what was coming and I was already very tired. If you're gonna see it twice, space it out I'd say. I usually don't see many movies in theaters twice, but could definitely say this is one I would/did.

Re: Batman!
Most disapointing movie for me just about ever. I loved the first movie and thought it was amazing. This was just pure trash.
I hated the ending, I hated the psyco bable, and clearly the message was total BS. I am so upset and disapointed right now I honestly want my money back.
It really disturbs me that soooo many people love this crap and call it one of the best movies of all time. I think our standards must be very low. To me it is similar to my let down of the Star Wars 1-3 trash on my level of disapointment.

Re: Batman!
No Harley Quinn. To be honest I don't think this Joker could stand a relationship with anyone. Only really interested in himself. Originally Posted by ScratchMonkey

Re: Batman!
Have to say I am with the majority on this one! I sat for the whole film andeven though it was long, I didnt shift in my seat once!! My eyes were stuck to the screen and without doubt Ledger just did what I thought was impossible and that was to beat "Jack's Joker". All previous versions have always had that "well it's really a cartoon made into a film".
Not either of the Bale films did this though. They made it seem a lot darker, a lot more "believeable" as to why people may be running around in make-up and costumes. I did not see the film in IMAX but I will definitely be doing that before it goes to DVD and yep I also will buy this for my DVD collection!
I cannot wait to see what they might do with Penguine, Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, etc, etc.....
Whatever anyone's opinion was/is, for me it was a nice little escape from reality for a few hours!BlackDog1

Re: Batman!
How could you hate the movie man. What particularly did you not like about it? The acting? Story? Honestly it was a great movie and im puzzled to see you disagreeing.
