Batman was good

[jerseyrugger76]

I was skeptical going into it. Nicholson is a very tough act to follow as the Joker, but Ledger did a phenomenal job. Bale is a very credible Batman and I liked their choice of using Chicago as it actually is, rather than a cartoony set that is overly dark and imposing as Gotham.

I'm a fan of the Gyllehaal's, so having Maggie in there didn't bother me one bit. It's a pretty involved film. At 2.5 hours, you get a lot of bang for your buck in terms of plot. One thing you do not get here, as you would in, for example, Wanted, is this feeling of being overwhelmed by technology or special FX. While explosions abound, nothing is too "out there."

Best line of the movie is the Joker's parody of Jerry Maguire when talking to Batman. You can probably guess the line.

All things considered, it was a fun ride and worth the price of admission.

P2p!

i'm all about ripping movies but this was one movie i wanted to see in the threatre. easily worth the price of admission.

ledger was a RIDICULOUS joker. truly put mad work into his character. one of the sickest performances i've ever seen.

this is a very involved plot so get ready for a ride. easily the best batman to date.

no idea who would try to take on the role of joker for the 3rd after ledger passed.

trust me, this story has so many twists and turns that that won't ruin the movie for you. even if he was killed off you know he could come back.

psshhh thanx for ruining it

I would be skeptical, but I like Bale so I have to see it. Ledger is amazing. Any guy who's got enough balls to play a gay cowboy on screen and risk his career - is one amazing versatile actor. You could tell right there.

Thank god Katie Holmes isn't in it. Her stupid smiley grin almost ruined the last film, thank god Bale saved it.

I agree about Ledger's performance...it was riveting. I'm still not completely sold on Bale as batman, though...his voice sounded like a weird cross between Demi Moore and Linda Lovelace....just couldn't get around it.

All in all- a very very good movie.

i'm staying out of this fuckin thread due to the spoiling fuckin assholes

[mustang_00]

I agree about Ledger's performance...it was riveting. Two-Face was also really good- wish he wasn't killed off so quickly. I'm still not completely sold on Bale as batman, though...his voice sounded like a weird cross between Demi Moore and Linda Lovelace....just couldn't get around it.

All in all- a very very good movie.

Yeah- kinda dating myself a bit, I guess. In all fairness, I was at a party she and my parents attended when I was a kid.
