A dedication to him and the stunt guy who died in the Tumbler accident

I stand by my original reaction. I'm still filled with disappointment.

*Goes off to mourn ones curiosity as I have to put it down now to prevent any incident from every happening again*

That was one intense movie. I felt like I went through a workout when the credits hit.

Orgasmic workout?
 
Darko said:

Did anyone go to the Universal Imax showing? The print was late and the guy said we could come on friday to see it for free. I'm calling as soon as I wake up.
 
Ok, 4 rotten reviews:

David Denby
New Yorker

David Fear
Time Out New York

Marshall Fine
Star Magazine

David Edelstein
New York Magazine

New York hates Batman.

If your name is David you won't like Batman.

If you are from New York and your name is David, go see Batman & Robin instead.
 
Excellent film. No downtime at all- everything just flows seamlessly from one confrontation to the next. The worst thing I can say about it is the crowd it attracts thinks everything the Joker does is funny.
 
So, the movie comes out next week here and since i'm not about to go and read the whole thread, what's the general consensus?
 
Holy shit guys, I just got home from watching it 15 minutes ago. I hate to make the wait for it any harder for those still waiting, but damn! That was incredible. Engaging from start to finish.

Loved it and will probably see it again very soon.

This is the the best movie I've seen this year. I thought that would've gone to Wall-E (well it did, until I saw Dark Knight). Unlike with Wall-E's case, I don't see any other movie coming out this year that will top this one.

So awesome. Completely satisfied. Well worth the wait. :D
 
So for the people that went and saw it on IMAX:

Was your theatre an IMAX Dome screen or an IMAX Flat screen?

My screening tonight is on an IMAX Dome and my other 2 showings are going to be on IMAX Flat screens.

Just curious what the big differences are going to be, as I've never watched a non-sciency movie on a Dome screen before.

Can't...fucking...wait

no theres nothing after the credits 100%

I still don't understand why people stay for the credits after a film--especially when they know there's nothing post-credits beforehand. When a film ends, no matter how much I enjoyed it, I'm outta there. If I want to know who the professional grip was, I'll get on IMDB and check; it's not like you're paying some act of appreciation by staying for the credits--nobody but the people who clean the theater know you did it, and they probably hate you for it.

With the exception of Wall E. But the credits for it were also the evolution of art, so they were also technically part of the film proper.

I remember one of the interviews or reviews said that watching it in a dome may not be the best idea. it may get a bit blurry on screen.

If you didn't stay for the end of Iron Man's credits then you missed out on an awesome scene that sets up a future Marvel franchise.
 
I played hooky from work today to see this. Absolutely fantastic. Heath Ledger was incredible. The entire 2.5 hours was the most tense I have been at a movie beating out No Country even for me. I cannot recommend this enough. For those who disliked the 2nd part of Begins there is nothing to worry about this time.
 
The Joker's "theme" music is incredible. Almost as incredible as the character itself. Great start, great finish. Maybe a few over-played scenes in the early exposition (Harvey Dent's courtroom introduction was a little cheesy), but amazing none-the-less, and it's Heath Ledger's Joker that takes it into that stratosphere. Best movie I've seen so far this year.

devin faraci at chud has, in case you hadn't seen his report about it

"devin watches the watchmen trailer"

On the heels of putting up my Watchmen set visit preview, I'm able to bring you a look at what you'll be seeing this Friday when the trailer for Watchmen unspools in front of The Dark Knight.

I think you're going to be blown away.
 
Referring to Joker being funny he does have a few signature funny moments, but usually your shitting your pants to much to laugh at anything else he says or does. It's a mixture of pants shitting over the sheer greatness of his characters and white stains splashing over the seats in front of you.

This movie was great. Sadly I can't compare it to Wall-E. Damn you Australia. The ending was a perfect climax to the eight I had already had.

No I didn't, because I have youtube and internet forums like this to keep me abreast of such occurrences.
 
Lots of hyperbole so far, but that is to be expected in this thread. Glad a spoiler thread was made, so I can keep browsing this one until Friday without getting spoiled.

Also got another non-NY rotten. Where am your conspiracy now?
 
hi, my name is solo. i take everything I read on GAF seriously and none of it is tongue-and-cheek or just joking.


no one seriously believes theres a conspiracy dude.

About.com is an online source for original information and advice, and is among the top 15 US Websites (Nielsen Online Spring 2008). It is written in English, and is aimed primarily at North Americans. It is owned by The New York Times Company.

But really--About.com? Do I give a rat's ass about this when I know the movie is just fucking fantastic. IMAX was just the icing.

Lol at his review:

"Christopher Nolan and Maggie Gyllenhaal just aren’t enough of an indie connection to cover this on Worldfilm, so I’ll just say this here: godawful. Two hours and twenty minutes, a gazillion dollars, a sterling cast, and an eight story IMAX screen weren’t enough for this movie to tickle a single thrill out of me. Instead, endless turgid tripe about vigilante morals, heaps of vicious violence, Gotham City politics that play a little bit like The Wire, only stupid, and muddled action sequences that are — and I say this without hyperbole — duller than the scenes in which Bruce Wayne is having dinner. "

This guy is full of shit.
 
this movie caused my balls to explode.

cannot wait for dvd to watch over and over...


...and over..



...my balls.. so epic
