THE DARK KNIGHT: 94% in Rotten Tomatoes

[HURAKAN]

Very good movie. Action, romance, comedy, and more. I you like the genere, you will really like this movie. The Joker is one of the best characters in the movie. What a loss to the movie industry for Heath Ledger to die. Great performance.

One of my friends just left about an hour ago with her bro to go watch it...so curious how she'll say it is.

My son saw it this afternoon. He raved about it. Said he didn't move for 2 1/2 hours.

[Ivanhater]

Im going to see it tomorrow night (Saturday night)..Looks like it will be great!

[HurricaneHunter914]

I'm seeing it in an hour or so. Movies before noon only cost $5 a person. I heard this is the best movie of the summer, can't wait!

[HURAKAN]

It is!

[goodgal996]

I'm going to see it in at 5:15.

My friend said she absolutely LOVED it!

[Squarethecircle]

The 94 matters less than the fact that it got an average rating of 8.5/10, which is achieved only by very, very good films on average about 4 max times a year (Wall-E got an 8.6/10, and The Departed only got an 8.3/10). I'm seeing it tonight at 7:20, and I'm expecting something slightly worse than The Departed (because I fail to see how TDK could be better).

Although I probably don't have to tell anyone, it's widely regarded as pretty much the best comic-adapted movie ever by a very large margin.

From what I hear it is breaking all sorts of records for attendance. I know here in Houston at one or our Edwards Marquis complexs(I don't know how many screens it was showing on)the parking lot for the entire center including a 4 story parking garage was full at 7am in the morning. My son-in-law manages a Red Robin in the complex and they had a law firm call in reservations for 35 so they could all eat and then go to the movie. CRAZY!!!!

It was truly amazing. Heath Ledger was phenomenal. Batman Begins was great, but TDK even better.

On IMDb it's ranked the #1 movie of all time. Definitely not imo, but Top 50 for sure.

It's reported that it made over $155.0 million this weekend.

My son in law and his wife went to see it and said that it was the best Batman. Heath Ledger they said should be nominated.

[HurricaneHunter914]

THIS TRULY IS THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Seriously, I loved it thoughout. I would definitly watch it again in theaters.
Rest In Peace Heath Ledger. He did a phenominal performance as the Joker.

Something else that I liked about this movie was that it wasn't incredible long, just 2 hours and 30 minutes. In Spiderman 2 I fell sleep, seriously. The same happened in Fantastic Four, but for a different reason, I didn't like it. I'm not a fan of the comic books but this movie really surpassed that and kept me entertain throughout the entire film. It was interesting that at the middle of the movie you get the feeling that everything has been solved but then you realize that that was the plan all along and a lot more was to come. It's a movie that redefines its genera. Ledger should win an Academy Award and an Oscar. What a performance! He was the bad guy but you couldn't feel anger for his actions. I'm out of words.

I saw it in IMAX. AMAZING!

[Numlock]

Ledger's performance was just outstanding. Batman could have died 15 minutes in and the rest of the movie could have just been Joker blowing up the city, and I would have still loved it.

I saw it today. It surpasses the hype. By far the best Batman film I've seen. The acting was incredible. If you haven't seen it yet, you need to cancel your plans and go see it. It is just that good.

I have to admit this isn't really my kind of movie but we went Sunday night and I loved it! Heath Ledger was outstanding as The Joker, there is no other way to put it. I'd see this movie again, in fact I'll probably but it when it comes out on DVD

[Squarethecircle]

So it was a bit better than The Departed.

I still think that it's not the best movie of the year (or of any of the last three).
