If that's the case, then I could very well imply the same thing for everyone else who's claim to have seen the movie prior to Thursday at Midnight..

No way and HULK accomplished what it did in 2 hours and didn't have to take 2.5 hours plus to do so.. For whatever reason or another, these filmmakers feel that 2 hours just isn't enough and TDK DEFINITELY needed to be trimmed by at least 15-20 minutes and leave all the unecessary subplots out of this.. Harvey Dent was a complete waste in this and was merely thrown away for no reason, not even a damn setup for the 3rd movie which would've been perfect.. It made absolutely no sense to do away with him..

Re: The Dark Knight
BKB is right, the Dark Knight hardly flies. The film was an incredible disappointment. Plot wise it can be compared to Date Movie and action wise, In the Name of the King. Film was total drivel with the only saving grace being what I think was a shot of a Hulk action figure on the streets of Gotham though it could've easily just been a piece of turd which is quite fitting for this film.

Re: The Dark Knight
fixed, I meant Date Movie. You're right, Not Another Teen Movie is far superior to Dark Knight.

Re: The Dark Knight
F-----------
Worst movie I have EVER seen. This is nothing compared to Burton's masterpieces. It takes itself too seriously and doesn't have a single light moment. Action scenes border on dull and worst I have ever seen. Critics clearly gave this a free pass because of Heath Ledger. Thank God I still have Batman and Robin on DVD to watch after this dreadful movie.

Re: The Dark Knight
I'll just copy and paste my review from the other thread, but I gave this an "A" and it's certainly better than the last 2 piles of Schumacher crap, but better than the 1st BATMAN 1989?? No, but close.. I also think Keaton and Bale are about on par with one another, but I dug Keaton's psychological look he gave it more than Bale's interpretation of him, but still good.. One can only hope the film does well box office wise cause it deserves to, but as I've pointed out as well as a handful of others around the Net and that is this film won't be for everyone and I have played around with the theory as to how this film would've done in the Fall as opposed to the Summer cause it really doesn't come across as being like a typical summer movie with too much thinking and talking as opposed to non stop action which audiences are used to.. That's why I feel this will pull a HULK in it's 2nd weekend and drop 60%.. Anyway, my review below..
Joel Schumacher should see this movie IMMEDIATELY and ask himself WHY he didn't make the last 2 movies like this.. I don't have much time to get into this cause I'm on my way to work with very little sleep, but the highlights of what I liked:
I really loved the tone and feel of the movie, even though the 1st half is bogged down with alot of chit chat and exposition, the 2nd half with the action is where it shines best...... This Ladies and Gentlemen is The Dark Knight at it's Finest, the way The Dark Knight should be portrayed.. I loved the relationship between Commissioner Gordon and BATMAN and if there is 1 wish I could ask for, is that Nolan NOT put Robin in any of the next 2 movies as a dumb sidekick, but keep Gordon as BATMAN's sidekick.. BATMAN doesn't need Robin, especially the way he was in this movie.. I enjoyed The Scarecrow, however, I don't feel he's near as good as The JOKER and that I can agree with TIME Magazine on.. Also, I wish Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson had bigger roles than what they did in this film because they sort of semed like there were just wasted, but nevertheless, they were good when they were present.. As for who's the better BATMAN/Bruce Wayne?? I still say Michael Keaton hands down was far beter than Christian Bale, but Bale did a good job to.. It's just that Keaton defied odds and really pulled it off much better than Bale and 1 other thing I would like corrected in the next 2 films: Make Bales BATMAN mask a little smaller, cause it seemed a little big for his face making it look somewhat awkward..
On a scale of 1-10, I give THE DARK KNIGHT A 9.5... Very very good...

Re: The Dark Knight
THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) I don't know where to begin. Let's start with the negative aspects: You could tell it was two and a half hours long. The beginning sucked, it was lame, there was no need for the Scarecrow to appear. The music was poorly used at times, especially during dramatic moments. I didn't like the Batsuit at all, and I still hate Batman's voice. Some gadget related things I didn't like, but I guess it's acceptable. That's pretty much about it. Now, the positive aspects: Incredible performances all around, especially Heath Ledger. This is a larger than life performance. It doesn't disappoint at all. He is AMAZING. Eat your heart out Jack Nicholson, though it's not fair to compare them since they are completely different characters. It's so sad we won't see the Joker again. Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face was great and shocking (You'll see what I mean), very well executed. The action was like an adrenaline rush. But the film definitely should've been called The Joker. It's Heath's movie, there's no question about it. This is the best Batman movie yet, it will be very hard to surpass it. 8/10 ( A-) PS: I loathed BATMAN BEGINS.
