The Dark Knight — Page 3

Y'know, there's a film that's pretty famous for its twist ending. Had I seen that film knowing nothing about it, I'd've been shocked and amazed at the ending. However, some... fool had said to me a couple of days before, "I won't tell you what happens at the end, but there's a great twist!". I figured out that film's twist in the first three minutes, and have been annoyed at that... fool ever since.

I'm just sayin'.

going to see it again in a couple of hours - - - IMAX style!!!

I did, Roscoe.

<< "he just seems to be disinterested"

I've heard a lot of things said about Mr. Bale, but that's a first. >>

Leaving the theatre today, seemed like many people felt the same way about Bale. Most said he was the weak link (if there was one) --- the movie is VERY good!)

Or possibly your opinion is in the minority?

So wait; I loved 'Batman Begins' MASSIVELY after only seeing one trailer. I loved it for itself. If this film turns out to be more of the same good work and I end up loving it, are you saying I'm only loving it because zomg heath ledger DIED and iss so SAD!!!111!!!!1!!!? 'Cos that doesn't sound like me at all. :/

Batman Begins was brillant, this was not, it was dull. Ledger was nothing to right home about and as others apart from myself have said, if Ledger was not dead, the praise would not be forth coming. Was he a good actor, yes in Brokeback, in this not at all. He has maybe 35 minutes of screen time and he brings nothing new to the role.

Remove the hype and see whats left.

Well! I'd better phone the cinema and ask for my money back! I'll just stay home on Thursday! No need for me to at all see if the film appeals to *me*, or if *my* opinion might be worth anything to, y'know, *me*! Rosscoe - tells it like it is!!!

I'm sorry I'm being a biotch today. It always makes me a little crappy when people say "it is" rather than "I think". It's just so absolute-sounding, and even though it's silly, I feel like I'm not being given any room for the possibility of a differing opinion. I know intellectually that I should always mentally add "in my opinion" to the front of everything I read online, but sometimes it's easier to just shout.

I'm still looking forward to seeing the film on Thursday and making up my own mind about whether or not it's the film for me. :3

Weez, you are right, i was forcing my opinion on others. The thing was I was really looking forward to this movie and it disappointed me. After the brillance that was Batman Begins, this left me cold and from listening to the media hype on Ledger, I was looking for better than what i got.

I am interested in seeing how this one works as a follow-up; one of the things I really like about superhero movies is the origin parts of the story. I mean, I'm a nerd, but I don't always know where these guys come from, and seeing it fully realised on the big screen both helps me and makes me happy. Batman's origin makes me happy, Iron Man's origin made me happy, I even enjoyed the Fantastic Four's origins more than the rest of the story. The only exception is Spider-man, because I found Alfred Molina much more exciting to watch than Tobey Maguire, so the second of those movies was more enjoyable to me. I also preferred the second X-Men movie, but the first one didn't have so much in the way of origin as other superhero movies.

Mmm, origin stories! When's the Wolverine movie happening?

I think I lost track of what I was saying there...

EDIT: OMG! Okay, BALLS to Batman! 'Wolverine' has GAMBIT! *turns embarrassing fangirl cartwheels of glee!*
