GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Aug 5, 2008

On a random Tuesday, I decided enough was enough and I had to see the Dark Knight. All of the good things I had been hearing, I just couldn't put it off any longer....

The movie was very good. It's made clear that the characters are the strong point of the movie. I liked that. It wasn't your typical superhero movie that tries to satisfy the viewer with just action (Not that there's anything wrong with that). The message was made clear, and though I hate to use the word most of the time (Because I'll sound like one of those "Proffessional" reviewers), it was deep.

The actors all did well. I have no complaints at all. The replacement for Katie Holmes was way better, the guy who played Batman did a great job, though his "Scary voice" needs a little work, the actor for Harvey Dent was easily one of the most memorable characters thanks to a few great quotes and an even greater sense of irony in his character, then of course, the actor for the Joker was great. I originally wondered if I'd like him as the Joker and now I'm kicking myself for doubting him. He was funny when he was supposed to be, and disturbing when he was supposed to be. He played the role extremely well and he definitely raised the bar for movie villains.

The plot itself, over the course of 2 and a half hours was brilliant. It delt with the issues you'd expect a hero to deal with all while taking a somewhat realistic aproach. I won't reveal much for those of you who haven't seen it, but I'll say the movie takes no prisoners... sometimes.

In short, I really liked the movie and can't wait to see what they come up with next. On another note, this movie had a ton of memorable quotes. It's comparable to Star Wars

Everything you just said pretty much sums up my feelings towards the movie, I can't wait to get it on DVD. >:]

Yeah, it was a great movie. I personally don't feel that it was "the best" Batman adaption, but it was certainly one of them. I wasn't too fond of Christian Bale's Batman, but he did a pretty good job, overall, and everyone else's characters were done extremely well. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie .

I think it was the best Batman movie I've seen.

Yeah the best Batman ever! This is a rare instance of the sequel living up to the reputation of its predecessor ...and one of the reason why I really like this movie it because the villain is really something. Ledger brings much-needed depth to the Joker's character, he's so natural And the "disappearing pencil magic trick" was awesome

Why so serious? classic

Yeah, this one was great!

Definitely the best Joker I have seen.

It was amazing. I think it was tied with the first Batman as my favorite. As many others thought, the Joker stole the show, but I didn't like this actor for Batman that much.
