New Batman thread

[nikimcbee]

I didn't see a thread on the new batman movie, so I'm startin' one:|\\ . I saw the new movie today, all 2 and a half hours of it. I thought it was pretty good. I'm not really into combic book stuff, but I liked it. I really liked Leder's character, it was really dark. If you haven't seen it, I think its worth the trip.

:up:

Did they have all the captions like "Bam", "Bop", "Smack" etc... When Batman would beat the crap out the goons?

[Sailor Steve]

Yep, excellent movie. I wish the first one (Batman Begins, not Burtons version) had stuck closer to Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, but both of them are better than anything that came before. Dark Knight isn't as much fun as some superhero movies, but Batman isn't supposed to be fun.

And yes, Heath Ledger's last performance is truly frightening, funny and fabulous all at the same time.

No, Frame, what they had was guys dressed up like wannabe Batmen getting murdered in awful ways. This is a very grim movie.

That will be on the "Director's cut.":rotfl:

Some people are saying it's esponsible for some underhanded dirty tricks campain on the imdb.com website.

The Dark Knight is now rated with a average feedback of 9.4 out of 10, knocking the Godfather off it's no.1 perch, down into no.3, after the Shawshank redemption.

it has been said that people are giving 10 to the dark night and giving low scores to other movies that threaten the dark knights no.1 spot.

I don't care, I didn't think the godfather was all that great, and I'll be seeing the dark night this weekend.

Maybe it's just the picture. I thought she looked fine, if not uber-hot, and she did an okay job and had some good scenes. When a friend of mine complained about her acting I said "Would you rather have had Katie Holmes again?" That shut him up.

"Bow wow wow yippee a, bow wow wow yippee a". I think Katie was hotter than this old sea hag. Yikes! Before I pass judgement though. I will first drink a couple of 48's then i will make my assesment.:D

[Sailor Steve]

You might want to actually see the movie before your judgement gets too critical. She has one scene you might really like.:rotfl:

[Stealth Hunter]

Wanna know how I got these scars? My father was....a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. Turns to me and he says "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife,"Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth. "Lets put a smile on that face!" And..... Why so serious?

That sounds like some of the stuff we have to deal with in the SH mods forums :roll:

That's the best poster, IMO.

[Platapus]

I saw Dark Knight a few weekends ago.and I thought it was ok. I think the movie had way too many subplots and it did not have time to really delve in to any of them to the appropriate depth. The story line was very disorganized and disjointed.

It had some awesome special effects, but that was pretty much it. Take away the CGA and you are not left with much.

It is a comic book type move so don't expect any semblance of reality.

The actor who played the Joker stole the entire movie. What a great job he did with the role. The facial movements, body language, and that voice. Well done! Everyone else a very distant second. Morgan Freeman was excellent when explaining the problems with blackmail to this wormy guy. Only he could pull off that line.

All in all, I felt I got my money's worth. It was a bit long but only occasionally boring. I don't think I would ever want to see it again.

To me the movie was .... OK

And that's not too bad considering the quality of movies these days

[mrbeast]

I saw this the other week and was very impressed.:up:

I think its as good if not better than Batman Begins. Its a real shame that Heath Ledger will not be able to reprise his role; his Joker was a brilliant performance, dark and deranged without too much hamming it up.

I think of all the comic book movies out recently, the two Batman films are the best by far.

No, I was referring to her last scene.

And you guys are way to eclectic for me. I think she's fine.

[XabbaRus]

Maggie Gyllenhaal,

I think she's alright infact you seen the way she shimmies when she walks? Damn sexy if you ask me. Trust me the uber pretty ones are the most disappointing..I think Maggie would be dynamite.....

[stabiz]

Yeah, Maggie is sexy. The movie is madly overrated, by the way. Batman Begins is better.

[Platapus]

Can you believe that some are calling this the greatest movie of all time?

http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

Come back after 10 years or so and see if anyone remembers this movie before we can call it one of the greatest movies of all time. It is this month's blockbuster.

Sheesh, movie been out for a month and it is the greatest movie of all time. :nope:

[Raptor1]

Don't know if it's the best movie ever, but it's certainly the best movie I've seen in a long while

[Frame57]

Maggie Gyllenhaal,

I think she's alright infact you seen the way she shimmies when she walks? Damn sexy if you ask me. Trust me the uber pretty ones are the most disappointing..I think Maggie would be dynamite.....My Grandma shimmies. I could set you up!:D

It might be the best genre movie of the year, but Iron Man was more fun. I liked Dark Knight, a lot; but I'd hardly put it in a class with anything in the AFI's top ten.

[Frame57]

Iron man was good, and at least they had a hottie for that pepper chick. But I am so burned out on Batman. probably because of the lousy ones that preceeded these later ones. But they are way better that the crap Burton put out. Is it me, or does everything Tim Burton seem to have the same feel about it?

[Stealth Hunter]

Burton stayed more true to the comics, though. He made Gotham the way it was supposed to be according to the illustrators of the early publishings.

As for it being the greatest movie of all time, that's not what the IMDB Top 250 is there for. It's there to show what movies users liked the most. I thought it was a great movie, that's true, but I didn't think it was the greatest. However, a lot of people thought it was really good, and that's just being shown in the 250.

[McBeck]

I just saw it a few weeks ago and I think the storyline was somewhat of a mess, but Ledge was brilliant as the Joker!!

Overall it was good movie - all credit to Heath Ledger :)

[Dowly]

Still havent seen it, but the reviews I've read about it have all praised it! Like I said to Fincuan last night on TS, one of the reviews said that Ledger's Joker is even better than Jack Nicholson's Joker in the original Batman. And judging by the Youtube clips I watched, I think the reviewer is right!

I like how the Dark Knight looks like, a dark, violent superhero movie. Not the usual "cartoonish" style. Looking forward to seeing it! :up:

[Platapus]

Still havent seen it,

Wait for the DvD or for the cheap theaters.

Only one theater in this crappy town = I'll wait for the DVD. :yep:

[Platapus]

With the speed of which movies are being distributed on DvD these days, I rarely go to the theaters any more. Too expensive, too crowded, too noisy, too many kids :yep:

Used to be you had to wait for a year for release on video tape. These days, I am sure the Dark Knight will be out on DvD real soon if it aint already.

I know that pirated copies are already out there but only a real scumbag watches pirated movies. :down:

I did see the Dark Knight on the weekend. It was good, Heath Ledger steals every scene he's in, but I still say there are other movies that deserve a higher place over the Dark Knight.

I almost laughed when the Joker used tom cruise's line "You complete me":lol:

Ok, finally saw this movie. ...Yeah, it was good. But to call this movie as being the apax of filmmaking today. Gimme a break. Good script, good performances all around. But DAMN IT! That girl is still a hound dog baying at the moon. :|\\

[Dowly]

Okie, seen it and liked it alot! Ledger does one of the best roles I've seen in a very long time in any movie, just darn scary! Bale did ok as Batman, but Ledger could've been the only person in the movie and it would've still been a great movie. One thing I absolutely hated was how Bale lowered his voice when he was Batman, just ridiculous! :rotfl: First, he speaks as normal person would when he's Bruce Wayne, but the moment he puts on the Batman suit, it's like listening to death metal or something. :nope:

It's certainly more violent and darker than the usual comicbook movies, but that's just plus in my book. Great movie and a great acting from Ledger. :up:

EDIT: Oh, and these 2 vids sums it up what I said about Batman's voice (no spoilers, fan made spoofs): :rotfl:

[Sailor Steve]

I did like the voice, both in Batman Begins and this one. But I'm a fan of the comics, and the creepy scary growly voice is something they mention there from time to time.
