sweet film. there was this little girl crying behind us for most of the joker scenes. "mommy!" idiot parents :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, I remember being scared shitless of the Joker-origin scenes when my mom brought me to the 1989 Batman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also there was a trailer for the new terminator. i think cristian bale is playing john connor |
||||||||

REALLY looking forward to this but i have to wait until the 24th. (bleh) My friend just got himself one of the huge movie posters. Heath Ledger looks fantastically demented |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it was awesome. joker does the best magic trick ever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what, dies? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw it in imax last night. certainly worth the few extra bucks. do a review later once more people have seen it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree pantalaimon. i thought the first one was okay (definitely the best batman flick) but this one is about ten times better. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
wanna see like a humming bee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

that already looks terrible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
psyched for dark knight, but super-psyched for watchmen next year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yea, if anyone thought the first one was a tad slow, this one is not at all. it starts out with a lot going on and maintains a good pace throughout. i don't mind that you don't see batman for half of the movie in begins, and i don't mind the slow burn ambiance, but i understand why some people have the yea, it was pretty good, better than the others but.. reaction. begins may have been just a little bit more successful if they would have shown batman earlier in the film. instead of formating the story so that the origin is told by bruce telling ducard about his family etc., they could have shown batman catch a crook or 2, then remember back to what happened and include his training with ducard in with that. in any case if they didn't quite hit their full stride in the last film they hit the ground running in this one. |

Ok, I loved the Tim Burton chapters in the Batman movies... I think Joel Shoefucker should be hung for those abortions on film. but Batman Begins & The Dark Knight are really really good. But I'm wondering where the fuck they're going to go next. I mean, Ra's al Ghul and his network were human beings, the joker doesn't have any supernatural or mutant powers... the scarecrow was done pretty well... but they've done enough with plants/toxins to do another movie using poison ivy. Firefly seems like a natural choice... but its just a pyromaniac... anyone have a clue where they might go? Maybe a better riddler... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the IMDb highest rated film ever made. what the fuck ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seriously.... But I am goddamn excited to pirate the shit out of this and then pre-order the dvd...I fucking hate movie theaters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its how the rating system works with new films. everyone who rates it gives it a 10 or 9 out of ten and it sky rockets to the top. over the time more people will vote and it'll fall back into a more understable position. no biggy :) |
||||||||

that movie took itself way too seriously i couldnt get into it the way batman talks seemed so cheesy and fake and stupid to me. "hey i am going to take like i just smoked 100 cigarettes" heath ledger stole the movie. no one should ever be payed again to play the part of joker - heath ledger perfected it |
||||||||

The strongest elements of 2008 joker are the WRITING and make up. The writers are the ones who have created this amazing character, and the make up is truly inspired, I loved ledger, don't get me wrong he was great, but with a character like that, it was always going to be great. Nicholson on the other hand... Best example of acting EVER!! Ha shit sorry for the exaggerations, it's the only way I know how to express myself. |

They had an outline for a third movie. Supposedly it was going to deal with the trial of the joker and have more of a focus on dent, making 2 and 3 a 2-part story. Not sure if they will do that now, depends on if they would replace Ledger or not. They had toyed with the idea of having the penguin in this one as an arms dealer, but maybe they will do that for a third movie? The riddler could be cool. He shouldn't have the ? outfit, but if its scenarios where batman has to solve riddles to figure out where bombs or hostages are it could work. Kinda like Die Hard 3 but better. They would have to be careful though because that's almost an action movie cliche. |

Batman Begins wast spectacular but at least it had a solid flow and script. Dark knight was just messy muddled and all over the place, the joker was totally short changed. This was NOT the joker's movie like people are going around claiming. If it had been it would have been fucking awesome. |

"the way batman talks seemed so cheesy and fake and stupid to me. "hey i am going to take like i just smoked 100 cigarettes" " yeah WTF was with that. Lets have Bale one of the most hailed actors to helm the batman character talk in a fucking YELLING RASPY BOSTONIAN ACCENTED VOICE!!! that was seriously one of the most distracting aspects of the film for me, i would have been happier if batman just kept fucking quiet. |
||||||||

I think he just changes his voice to sound scarier to criminals and also to disguise it. He mostly uses it when he is talking to criminals, the police, someone who might try to identify him. He doesn't always use it. I dunno it didn't bother me any. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

I really liked it. Heath Ledger definitely stole the show... Batman's voice is a little deep though. That made me laugh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed with those who think batman's voice was cheesey and distracting. also agreed that ledger shone in this film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
finally going to see it in an hour :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
three days later, and all i can say is "finally." that movie fucking rocked. hard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
going to see it tonight |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

one of the best crime thrillers period! stand out moments for me were : Jokers magic trick the way the batpod was introduced heath ledger obviously Aaron Eckhart's performance was incredible too, he actually stole the show for me, very emotional. yeah i do agree bales voice was very distracting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seeing it tonight @ 12:02 AM. can't wait! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm skeptical. it has probably become one of the most hyped movies in history. it cannot possibly be THAT great. i might be proven wrong, but i doubt it. LOL @ imdb rating |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it like batman begins, that one was kind of humourless |

whats up with bale kicking his mom and sisters ass? |

Watched this last night. Overall I thought it was amazing. The best batman movie yet. Infact my only issue with it was bales wraspy batman voice, it gets old fast. I know its to mask his identity but shit, it added such an air of fakeness. As for another batman movie to come, me and my friends did some talking and we think the only suitable villian to use now would be riddler. These batman remakes are far too serious for a penguin man or mr freeze. Cat woman has been done too much, and poison ivy's edge was already done with scarecrow. It would be funny if Jim Carry did riddler again, except in his more serious 23esque style. |

alright. this movie was about half an hour to an hour too long but damn good all the same. of course it's no batman returns, but i watched this like i watched indiana jones 4, not comparing it to the classics. 4/5 |

seems like Heath made the ultimate sacrifice for this role, if you look into how much preparation he put into it and some of the interviews he gave about it, you can understand that it must have taken it's toll on him personally. i mean he owns this role, he doesn't even draw comparisons to nicholson because he literally owns it, and i remember thinking that just from seeing the trailer before his death. i would go as far to say that it is one of the best performances from an actor that i have seen. |

from imdb: To prepare for his role as the Joker, Heath Ledger lived alone in a hotel room for a month, formulating the character's psychology, posture and voice (the last one he found most difficult to do). He started a diary, in which he wrote the Joker's thoughts and feelings to guide himself during his performance. He was also given Alan Moore's comic "Batman: The Killing Joke" and "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" to read. Ledger also took inspiration from A Clockwork Orange (1971)'s Alex and Sid Vicious. also, how is this no.1 on imdb top 250 of all time????!!!!! |
