posted by sean on Aug 11, 2008Spectacular cinematography, acting, props and special effects. Very different from the previous mpvies. Basically it is not about a superhero saving lives but dealing about a super hero's own emotional aspect impacted by a psychotic persuasion of another person (Joker). HOwever, story is too dark for my taste that I could'nt compose my self for the next 4 hours after I watched it. Too grim...

posted by Darkallen on Jul 31, 2008dis movie is da best movie ever!!!!!
posted by roxy on Jul 29, 2008That was the best movie I have seen in a long time. Of course I am a Heath Ledger fan and still can't believe that such a huge talent is gone! He did a much better job that Jack Nicholson. Too bad Heath is not here to enjoy it!

wasn't as good as i thought it would be. it was too long and i was literally falling asleep. the storyline wasn't solid and the joker wasn't making any jokes. The original with jack nicholson is wayyy better
posted by leila on Jul 25, 2008This movie was amazing! I said it about Batman Begins and I'll say it again even MORE enthusiastically: This is what Batman should've been from the beginning. Gritty and tough and brilliant and funny and absolutely compelling. Christian Bale has absolutely GOT IT and Heath Ledger played an out of this world Joker. I never thought I'd see the day when I could say that someone could out act Jack Nicholson on any role but Heath Ledger really WAS the Joker. I want to see it again. Like, now. If you haven't seen it or hadn't planned to... Go! Now! It's an amazing movie.
posted by Lacey on Jul 25, 2008ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I'VE BATMAN BATMAN BEGINS WAS EXCELLENT TOO. THIS MOVIE TOOK SUPERHERO AND NEMESIS TO ANOTHER LEVEL. HEATH LEDGER SHOULD GET THE OSCAR. SO SAD THIS GREAT ACTOR IS NOT HERE TO SEE THIS. HE WILL BE MISSED. WHAT A TRAGEDY
posted by RITA on Jul 24, 2008I wish Heath could bask in the glory of his outstanding performance. He was brillant.
posted by L on Jul 24, 2008This movie was fantastic!! Heath did a wonderful job - he really was the joker. I think this is one of the best Batman movies - Batman Begins was great too. A lot more of who Batman was and how he got that way... A must see.
posted by b on Jul 24, 2008I think that it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I think that Heath did a great job. He can play any character he wants and can still do very well. He had such great talent!
posted by bamssk8erbabe69 on Jul 23, 2008This movie is the sh*t
posted by dame on Jul 22, 2008It is the best movie this year! Go see it in an Imax theater
posted by ls on Jul 22, 2008it was a little too long for me, but it was a gooooood movie. best of all batmans.
posted by maurielle on Jul 21, 2008Beyond expectations, dominates cinematography, uncomparable performances, there's no doubt that it crushes ironman and simply dominates the box office. It is a must have dvd movie

Great, it seems it could have ended at least 2 times, Heaths death just gives publicity to the movie if he wouldn't have died they would be praising him and putting him on a pedastal.
posted by vergonycabron on Jul 19, 2008Don't make it too dramatic. Heath's death is his own fault and i don't think his death worth much for the movie publication since the movie itself is a 'best-ever' movie of 2008.
posted by flickgeek on Jul 15, 2008I hope it will be the best batman movie!
posted by Dragon Emperor on Jul 13, 2008Although I havent seen the whole movie, just trailers and the first 5 minutes.... Heath Ledger made himself into the dark demented Joker and that is gonna be whaat makes this movie HUGE! with all the advertising thats being done and with it being Heaths last film, I wouldn't doubt this pulls in as much or more than one of the spider-man movies.. This superhero movie will be the best!
posted by moviebuff3888 on Jul 11, 2008This Movie Will be 100 times better than Any Batman movie EVER!
