Just saw this. Great movie. Maybe not as good as the first, but defiantly a great movie. Aaron Eckhart was great.

Great movie, but i agree with the reviews saying the action was exausting towards the end. Joker was beyond insane, waayyyyyy beyond the cartoon joker i remmember.
4/5

When whats her face dies theres no emfasis, just boom shes dead.

That's what so brilliant and realistic about it. When someone dies in real life, there are no choirs or extended monologues.

That's what happened... Which is also brilliant. Batman saves the wrong person and the damsel in distress dies! Who saw that one coming?

The whole movie is about him, in the comic he dies, and after such a disturbing performance i would be releived to see him get killed. 2 face just gets a little bit of time before dies, thats messed up. not to metion ledger who plays joker is dead too (RIP).

In the original the Joker died, something that the film producers would come to regret deeply since he became such a popular character. Not wanting to repeat the same mistake they let him live in this one... Only to have the actor that played him die! Again, who saw that one coming?[/hide][/quote]

I agree completely. Those are a few reasons I loved this movie.

If they had killed off the Joker in this movie like they did in the first Batman movie with Jack Nicholson, I would have rated this movie a little lower. Joker isn't meant to die, like he says in the movie: "I think you and I are destined to do this forever."

He is the second best villain, in my opinion.

So I have to be blunt.

It was not as good as everyone said it was.

Did I love the movie? Sure I did, but everyone's out there like "Ooooh this is the best movie eVar!!!" Nah. Great movie. Loved every minute of it. But it wasn't the best movie ever. I'd give it a 9/10, mostly for length.

The other thing that drives me nuts is that The Dark Knight/Heath Ledger is becoming Nirvana/Kurt Cobain all over again. -- that is that people overdo how great the person/band/movie is because someone's a "martyr" (even thought they killed themselves). Funny thing is, nobody will ever admit it.

So long story short: Great movie. I'll own it for sure, but I don't worship it like everyone I know seems to.

Im glad the joker doesnt die, although it does leave the director in quite a pinch. He never does die in the comics, nor should he have died in the movie. I didnt think Dent should have died, I expected two face in the next film.

I think I was one of the few that knew that I would like this Joker when I first saw/heard the "Evening...Commissioner" scene in the trailer, before Ledger died.

I definitely don't just like the character for the "martyr" aspect, kinda shallow if you ask me.

I'm just still angry Adam West wasn't chosen to play Batman.......

I can think of three reasons why that would fail.

What was funny for me is, despite following the spoiler scene for this movie ever since right after Begins was released (and consequently seeing that line a number of times), I kept wondering throughout the whole movie if this Batman movie series were ever going to have a Commissioner Gordon.

A lot of people were hyped for Ledger's Joker even before his death because it was such an unusual casting choice and Ledger couldn't be found anywhere in those initial trailers -- it was entirely someone else. Same goes for the movie, of course.

By the way, did anyone hear about Morgan Freeman? He's one of my favorite actors so I'm praying that he has a quick and full recovery. This movie has a black cloud hanging over it.

It was part of his scheme to corrupt Harvey Dent.
