The Dark Knight - [spoilers ahead, ye be warned] - Page 2

Bornieo: Fully Loaded · 07-03-2008, 02:09 PM

The opening weekend is the same as San Diego Comic Con so all the "Geeks" will be seeing it down there.

I was excited about the last one, Batman Begins - but am very passive about this one from what I've seen. Partly because we've already seen the Joker / Harvey Dent in the first Burton Batman movie (Etc etc, blah blah blah)so this is a remake in its basic form. But mostly because I think Heath Ledger and his untimely death will overshadow the film. I hope it doesnt' but those chances are slim.

What date does it open?

A Saturday afternoon/early evening with dinner after (I'd say the reverse, but this is LoT we're talking about). And maybe something not as far as SO or Hollywood? There's a theater in the shopping center not to far from LAX. I think it's an AMC? Not very swanky but kinda in the center of everyone.

Opens this coming weekend!
Only 15 reviews in at rt.com giving it a 100% so far. Too early to predict what the consensus will be...

Can't wait to see it. Can't wait to see it...

The rating will be high but it looks like David Edelstein (New York, formerly at Slate) will get the first rotten. His review went out today.

And David Ansen (Newsweek) is pretty split.

But I'm avoiding reviews too so I don't know exactly what they say, just seen them mentioned as being less than ecstatic.

Plotwise? kinda rambling.

Themewise? kinda brilliant.

sigh, i don't like Christian Bale as Batman.

Heath Ledger is a god.

This is the first movie in a long time that I have been willing to battle an opening day crowd for. Seeing it tonight and am looking forward to it.

I loved Bale as Batman in Batman Begins. I hated Clooney, Kilmer, and....um...wow.....drawing a blank on the other....in the other Batman movies. Of course, I hated all of those movies anyway.

innerSpaceman · 07-18-2008, 08:01 AM

Heheh, that was Michael Keaton. Best.Batman.Ever.

CB's 'Batman voice' is just too much. Oh, and i fault the costume designer for this, but the cowl looks silly on him throughout the movie.

The only thing I liked about any of the earlier Batman movies was looking at Nicole Kidman in whichever one she was in. Mmm-mmm-mmm.
