" "If your good at somethig, never do it for free" - The Joker (Heath Ledger)"

The Dark Knight was a very good movie. I really don't understand all the hype. I think it was a combonation of many things that I'm sure you can figure out.

To tell ya the truth I liked Iron Man better, and I don't see what sets this aside from the other bazzillion comic-book movies. Though I did like this better than Batman Begins (note: I still love Batman Begins). Also I am not much of a Batman fan.

The best part of this movie is of course Heath Ledger as The Joker. He gives an INCREDIBE preformance. And I'm not just sating that because everyone elese does. It is very hard to explain, but once you see it, you'll know what I mean.

Christian Bale playes the perfect Batman, in my opinion, just those guys in the older, cheesey one just cant do it.

Speaking of the older, cheesey ones, I am soooo glad they changed from what it used to be to now. They are more than better, and those old ones are let's face it- stupid. Even at the time. Sure maybe Spider Man and Fantastic 4 are suppose to be cheesey, but Batman- no way. Not with his dark past.

Overall, the best Batman yet. Can't wait for the sequel, at least I hope there's a sequel. They just better not have The Joker be in it, because no one coulde do it like Heath Ledger.

4 minor complaints-

Christian Bale talks funny when he's dressed up as Batman

and I got a headach because the movie is 2hours and 30 minutes, plus it's non-stop loud action

They didn't have a little something before the credits honoring Heath Ledger

Was exactly what I expected

I can predict that about 200 people will review this movie, because just look at how many reviews I Am Legend and Iron Man has, and because this is EVEN MORE all hyped up, this should get more. In fact, this review may never even get read, because by the time everyone is done reviewing this, my review will be so far back in the counless pages, no one will look that far.

Its the well developed story, great character portrayal, direction, glorification of the Heros/Characters/Villians, the acting, actors and the lack of CGI all over the movie, unlike the rest, but its a new era for comic book hero movies, which was started by Batman Begins showing that its okay to have action, drama, good dialogue, etc., like the comic books do, without being cheesy or ruining the franchise, I also think Iron-man, and the new Incredible Hulk (haven't seen it yet though but looks good) are good superhero movies, but are to heavily filled with CGI, but this is how I interpreted the difference between the new superhero movies, take from it, what you will.

No nor the best. Answere this question, Batman- "What sets The Dark Knight aside from the other bazzilion comic-book movies?" I can't figure it out. Is it Heath Ledger? I don't know.

ok likeadog, was it after the credits, because I would have expected them to do it before the credits, like they did with Desmond Lewelen who played Q in the James Bond series. Also, I left the moment the movie ended. never stay for credits

I like your first complaint. lol! I think the same thing.

The film however seemed to be SO fast paced, that when it came upon the Joker's climax, (which I knew it was from what I'd read here) I figured Two-Face HAD to continue on with his story for another 45 minutes as fans said.

And critics stated that the film shoulda ended BEFORE the last half hour of the film played out, but that Nolan apparently wanted to tell a different story, but since I had no good sense of runtime for this film cuz it was going so fast, then I don't know on what note in the film that the critics thought the film shoulda ended on. The only thing I can think of is the Two-Face climax, but that occurs an ends ten minutes after Joker's climax. So yes, the point in all this jibberish is, that the film was so fast paced that I couldn't believe that it ended when it did. The slowest moving parts had to be Bruce's elaborate trip to Hong Kong, and even those scenes were fast paced.

Crypt they did have something during the credits honoring Heath and the stunt guy who died

He was not going to die in this movie anyways that why they left him hanging like that lol, In the interviews David Goyer said that he did not want to kill off he villains like the previous movies that way batman could have a city full of villains he could fight. Heath was supposley signed on to reprise is roll.

SLY, and VAMP, AND CRYPT!!! nice.

there some who called for the scene of him in the body bag to be cut out of the movie. so i can image what the reaction would be if he did die in the movie.

But i honestly believed if heath was still alive they would have cast the joker role again. and thats why i think they left him hanging like that to keep there options open for the next batman, Very SAD tough

I agree. The ending was kinda thrown together. Don't really explain what happened to the Joker. and no, he shouldn't have sied, cause people would be ryin in the theater because of what really hapened to Heath.

and sorry vamp, that's my opinion, but even if theyre not syupid, they are cheesey.

lol don't worry dude your not the only one who's going to be left behind! good review, i must say my biggest disappointment was the ending, i wished that the last fight seen between joker and batman was longer and MUCH MORE INTENSE. i really wished that, but it wasn't. it was done quickly and way to short. one can also perhaps be disappointed by the way joker was left hanging like that. should he of died, maybe! also i think they should of thought of something better then the ships scene at the end. Like i said the ending is my biggest complaint but all in all it is a good movie.
