This has been one of the most hyped movies I have ever seen. It was so bulit up that when I went to see it, I went thinking there was no way it can be as good as they say it is. Sure it would be great, but as great as everyone says? I have to say that not only does it meet expectations, it shatters them. This is one of those movies you want to see again and again. As has already been stated by plenty of other people, Heath's portrail of the Joker is pure gold. It becomes all to easy to forget that the man behind the makeup is someone who is no longer with is. He IS the Joker. From the very moment he's on screen you can't keep your eyes off him. You have to know what he's gonna do next. Even when not on screen you do nothing but think of him. But, Heath wasn't the only who turned in a good performance. Now while no one else quite portrayed their character nearly as good as Heath, Christan Bale did pretty good as Batman. Definetly better than in Batman Begins. His threatening tone as he questions thugs, are almost enough to send shivers down your spine. You can clearly see how being attacked by this man in a dark allyway would give anyone the willies. But Bale also performed well as billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne. There are many great things to love about this movie. There doesn't seem to be a single scene, that had nothing to do with the main plot. Sure some people may say there where to many sub plots, but each sub plot serves a purpose to the main plot. Just pay attention, you'll see it. This is one of a very few movies where, not only do you need to pay attention to every detail, every detail desevres that attention. Not just because it will make understanding the movie easier, but because it will help you to better appreciate just how truly amazing this movie is. I will definetly own this on DVD.
hey, call me old fashioned, but i enjoy and still do the micheal keaton batman movies. on the plus side, heath makes a good joker and some action sequnces were cool.
Wow, Whata Great Movie, I think this movie deserve an Ocsar for best movie. It was also Good Actors Like Heath Ledger, He will always be remember ass the best joker ever. R.I.P. This movie is something we can call the Gift and the Curse: Cuz its a great movie, and the curse is: that some of the actors is unlucky. But the curse make Heath Ledger more famous. some way this is a movie about Joker, he was so funny. In this movie u never realacks. u are wake its so many action scene. and when u think every thing is allright , think again. this was a movie which was worth to see.
The BEST BATMAN EVER!!! Christian Bale is sexy and incredible and Heath Ledger is a God among men. His rendition of the Joker made Jack Nicholson look like Bobo the clown. He was sadistic and hillarious at the same time...and Aaron Eckhart made a great two-face. Maggie kicked the pants off of Katie Holms and the message was so beautiful and surprising! It'll win every award out there.
The best film of the summer 2008. did you know that this isn`t the first time the Joker is in a batman film it is also in the Tim Burton film which had Jack Nicholson to play the role of it. from director Christopher Nolan who was the director of Batman Begins directs The Dark Knight with the story of Batman and Gordon find alliance with a newly appointed DA Harvey Dent to stop a vicious killer with a warped sense of humor known only as The Joker, a threat to both the good, and the evil of Gotham city.
The Dark Knight was Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and some menace, now i wouldn`t call this film a 12A i would call this film a 15. Maybe they rated it 12A so that they can get more reviews. The Joker' is an un-beatable villain. Heath Ledger plays the role of The Joker and we all know that he is dead but still i think that this is his greatest ever film performance. will there be a 3rd Batman film directed by Christopher Nolan.
hmm ledger is excellent and michael caine has some great lines but plot holes and too much boys toys action - even a corny scene with a tramp in shock at a street car chase as Batman's car turns into a bike. Not the best. I wish I'd waited for DVD.
this movie was amazing...of course i like christian bale so this role wasn' t a stretch but heath ledger was absolutely phenomenal...this movie was multi-dimensional and well-written....it was amazing!!
OMG OMG OMG THIS MOVIE WAS SICK!!!!! i love it ***** difently was 5 stars even more then that .. heath legar is so amazing its not even funny .. he will be remembered for this and his other films that were as brillant as this 1 .. awesome dayumm .. i miss yew lmao .. werd..*
ÇLa historia me parecio lo suficientemente buena como para recapacitar con cada una de las palabras del huasón, en verdad que la acrtuación de Heath Ledger me dejo impresionada, hay ciertas cosas como el papel de Bale, dónde un Batman menos prudente refleja cierta indiferencia, no lo sé, algo que me ocurrió es que me dejo deseando más de Harvey Dent, siento que ese personaje pudo haber sido más explotado,pero confío en que Nolan sabe lo que hace...
I have to say I wasn't in the best of moods when I went to see the new Batman movie, but I do have to say it was fantastic. Somehow with all the hype I think my expectations were higher and weren't completely met, but I did enjoy most of it....
I loved the dark feel of the movie. Christopher Nolan made Gotham perfectly. Heath Ledger did do an awesome job as the joker, and I feel he actually does deserve an Oscar for his performance. Christian Bale also did very well as Batman, much better than everyone else who's done Batman in the past. Excellent but not a masterpiece
:o I just saw this, it's well cool. It's a shame the dude that plays the Joker died, and that Morgan Freeman was in a car accident (he needs surgery) They're great actors. The Joker is really good he is exactly as i thought he would be, and more!
Heath ledger was awesome !! and hes laugh, he was the best !! omg awesome awesome. He should have laughed more in the movie and the movie was maybe a bit too long, but otherwise AWESOME.
brilliant movie.Christopfer nolan is a genius.and Heath Ledger has played as good as Jack Nicholson.but there should be more role for the Two-face.i want more two-face.
What could have been an awesome film, full of great actors, that fell to a patchy, dragged out storyline, and too many moments wheres its too unbelievable. I agree with those who say its not as good as the first, but regardless its a good film. There are very credible performances from the whole cast, but the story, which was too show-this-and-let-it-be-forgotten disappointed such a highly anticipated film. It could have been so much better (and shorter) if specific scenes had been dealt with better. For example, the boats scene, they dragged it out, then killed it off so quickly. Robin Williams was considered for The Joker role, and he could have made the film so much better - with no disregard to Heath, who was very good, deceased or not, but if you've seen One Hour Photo, you'll know why Williams could have blown this out of preportion. Comedians play excellent nut jobs, even to the psychotic level that Ledger made it.
In short - Could have been better, but still an alright watch.
It was a good movie. The story was quite unpredictable with its twist and unexpected turns. The graphics was great, amazing effects. Its all good. I like the movie. But the setting was just dark. That's what I can really say about it. And, why didnt he just kill joker at the very beginning, life would have been easier and simpler right? But, that's why we have a good and interesting Batman movie. Lol
JEJE, I love this movie! Incredible! I dont consider myself a batman fan, but i will say, I enjoyed this one, the acting it is just amazing. Good special effects!
MOG I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT WAS SO GOOD AND I THINK THAT THIS SHOYULD WIN AN OSSCAR AND THE DIRECTOR SHOULD WIN ONE AND THE GUY WHO PLAYED TO JOKER. I REALLY RECOMMAND THIS TO EVERYONE IT IS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE. I LOVE THIS MOVIE
