Dark Knight review - Jul 22, 2008 23:54
Very entertaining, Joker is awesome, but it was at least 30 mins too long at 2:30 hours duration and I really (agonisingly) needed to piss badly by the end of it. Serves me right for bringing beer in and sitting in middle of a row.

Highest rated film of all time on IMDB right now, overtaken The Godfather.

I agree, some parts where a little drawn, but overall, the film was very good. Every time Heath Ledger wasn't in a scene, I was just wondering with what crazyness he would show up with next

You would have enjoyed it more if not for the need to eject urine.  That kind of thing really detracts from the enjoyment.  Oh well, it will give you something to look forward to when the Blu-ray comes out.  Watch it with your PS3 forcing 24p out to your 120Hz (not 100Hz) 1080p TV!

As if that matters, moron.

What?  Needing to pee?  Or 100Hz vs 120Hz?  If it is the latter, it greatly matters since 100 is not a proper multiple of 24.

No it doesn't matter.  People who go buy movies don't stand around thinking "hmmm 24p 100hmhz" they don't know what the fuck they're doing, they're just going to buy it.  You're a geek.

Of course normal people don't care about it.  But A/V enthusiasts do.  You're just sad because you have an inferior TV and are trying to convince yourself that it doesn't matter.

ANYWAY, Batman sure needs a throat lozenge in this movie.  He was speaking at least two registers below what his voice was capable of.

You know, I really don't care.  If you like to feel superior because your TV is tube and weighs 500lbs, be my guest.  You're a fucking loser.

A. You started it
B. If you don't care why did you bring it up
C. It's only a TV. I'm sure it's not the end of the world. Cry moar.

Sounds like you're the one wanting to feel superior here. Just my two cents.

Saw The dark knight a few hours ago on imax. It was as i expected to be and more wicked awesome!
Loved the gritty moments and this darker batman movie brought the other main characters in the spotlight such as everyone's favourite "You complete me" joker and my favourite Harvy Dent
Well worth 2:30+ min.
Great movie can't wait till the release of the DVD

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Each frame displayed 100 times?  Why not go for 101 times instead?  264 fps!

A IMAX must see. Looked sounded and felt amazing. So did you goto the London premier where Bale was said to have assaulted his mom and sister? Today he said the allegations were untrue.

Was that explained in the first movie?  Because I sure don't remember that.

I don't remember that neither unless it was in that anime series that came out just prior to Dark Knight. I guess it makes sense tho.

Cute, creating new accounts to support yourself Joe?

saw the movie yesterday, was very good better than begins, altough it does have its flaws, the plot wasnt so strong and if the characters didnt carry the movie so well it would have been worse than begins imo.

So I finally managed to watch Batman (it only started yesterday in Germany =/) and wow, that was definitely the best Batman movie EVER. I especially liked how with Harvey Dent, Batman/Bruce Wayne and Joker they had three totally diverse characters that all managed to be fascinating in their own way. I also found that the role of that damsel in distress was played better than in Batman Begins (Maybe because of a different actress?) however she still didn't make much impact. There were also a few small logical issues (How come NOBODY noticed the Joker on the parade? I mean he didnt wear his make up but still his face is cut-up. Something like that doesn't go unnoticed) but other than that, an absolutely great movie. Movie of the Year, so far.

I had two logical issues with the movie not counting the impossible gadgets.  One, how the fuck did the joker rig the bombs in the hospital without anyone noticing?  Secondly, how did the police find DNA matches to the three victims from the clues that the joker left behind?  It's not as if they have samples of everyones DNA.

The little "magic trick" left me clueless. I would assume that it would be impossible to shove an ordinary pencil all the way into someone's skull.

He did it through the eye socket, it's possible.

Are you serious? By the end of the movie the joker has alot of mob members and gangsters working under him, and if you watched the movie you would notice than about 90% of the people with any sort of power in gotham are corrupt, he could have payed off security at the hospital or just send people in to kill them and plant the bombs, use your imagination, not everything has to be spelled out for you.

Ah, I saw the movie three times and never once noticed it was in the socket.

I saw it three times too, I don't think they actually show the pencil.  I just assume that's where it went.

A sharpened pencil could enter through the bone gaps in the nose or mouth, through the cartilage, but unless it was driven into the spinal cord, he wouldn't have gone down that cleanly.

You mean the optical cord?  I don't know, bone behind the eye is soft and weak.  The joker slapped that guys head over the pencil with a lot of force, I bet he had enough momentum...  Hmmm, I think we need to make an experiment.

Ok, I need one volunteer!

No, the medula oblongata through the nose, and the spinal chord through the mouth. A pencil through the eye would rock the shit out of the frontal and/or temporal lobes.

You could get a guy through the eye socket. There have been real reported cases of brain damage from people falling on knives, bayonettes, ice-picks, stuff like that.

I agree, the eye it was. Is not like these fuckers actually go and scientifically prove everything before they shoot it. Sides, there is just no way it went through the nose, since his head hit the table face first. And going through the mouth just doesn't feel as cool, if killing a dude that way is cool anyway.
