As much as I thought Batman Begins sucked, this movie made up for it.

This is by far the greatest superhero movies ever and YES one of the best overall movies I've seen Period.

I was absolutely mesmerized by this movie

Christian Bale totally redeemed himself in my eyes as I found him to be very good in this movie. I still think Batman Begins was a letdown due to the horrible villain. Everyone Protagonist needs an equal Antagonist and thats what u got in this movie.

The way the Joker is done in this movie though, he is like an Anti Hero but I actually was cheering for him. Its because he actually had REASONS for the things he done. Kind of like in the Saw movies where everyone leads to their own fate etc.

He had his reasons and most were pretty dead on. Especially his social commentary on human beings.


Heath Ledger was so phenomenal I dont even know where to begin. When I watch Movies, I really study actors *which is why I think Johnny Depp is the greatest*

I like seeing how someone OWNS the character. So many read lines off the page, they act, they use their personality etc.

Ledger WAS THE JOKER. I guess thats how u can say it and why his shits all over Nicholson's and kicks it off the face of the earth


when u watch Nicholson, it looks like Jack Nicholson playing the joker. voice, face, walk, etc etc


With Ledger, I mean every idiosyncracy, the way he speaks, the way he flicks his tongue like a serpent, his mannerisms, I mean the GUY was living this character and it explodes off the screen.

Story was excellent, character build up was amazing, shocking twists i didnt see coming and the ending with Two Face is maybe the only somewhat weak area *still not sure what happend??*


The pencil was hilarious but I cracked up the loudest when he was holding Rachel out the window and Batman says "Let Her Go" which the joker replied "Poor CHoice of words" hahahahhhahahahahahahahhaha




AM i the only one that got watery eyed at the end of this movie? I've loved and followed Heath Ledger's career since 10 Things I hate About You and I just couldnt help but reflect and feel horrible of the life he had ahead of him. His final scene got me choked up and Im not afraid to admit that.

i thought bale was just as stale and uninspiring as in BB. plus the batsuit still looks too clunky and the voice totally takes me out of the movie.

but i def agree that the character building was fantastic with great twists. it was delicious to watch a full-blown villain(joker) while witnessing the birth of a new one(two-face).

also agree that ledger didn't play joker, he WAS joker. in his eyes, his voice, his subtle habits and twitches.

i wish he had a batman worthy of his opposite.

Has the same problem as the first: takes way too long at the beginning to set up all the narrative threads before the action gets going. And when the action does come it's pretty conventionally filmed. (Ledger's performance, though, does live up the the hype.)

[TGDIVA]

definitely should have been edited down.

the beginning sucked where the thugs were mumbling "i guess this joker is really as crazy as they say".

do i want to be told by nobody's that he's crazy or do i want to witness how crazy he is.

i hate that watered-down spood-fed bullshit.

Excuse me while I attempt to stop laughing.
