I wish they could have chosen someone else other than Maggie Gyllenhaal. She's good at acting but isn't hot -_-

It's all over the Internet. [spoiler]It's pretty much confirmed that Rachel died. You can also find Maggie Gyllenhaal reveals that her character dies on a YouTube interview.[/spoiler]

Oh. In any case I'm covering it in spoiler tags. Sorry.

EDIT: lol oh thank god. i read your first edit but i tried to avoid reading your second. now there are none lol.

ALSO, this movie ends with a cliffhanger and sets up the next one.

This is like the Empire Strikes Back of the Batman franchise.

I'm am really looking forward to this, I have been excited for it ever since the day they announced that Heath was going to play the Joker. i remember people were like, oh god no, who made that decision? But from the trailers, I really like his portrayal. His performance is what makes me want to see this movie.

i heard this movie is supposed to be really good.
i think maggie is better than katie. katie can't act and has a terrible nose.

maggie gyllenhaal is a really good actress...and I think she's attractive in her own way
KT80
well no-one is questioning maggie gyllenhaal acting ......looks wise she's not up to par laugh.gif ....

Not my kind of film. Really unimpressed with Heath Ledger's performance in the trailer though.

I was at the World Premiere of "The Dark Knight" with the stars monday.. Great movie! Check out my blog for more info! biggthumpup.gif

Still can't believe I was at such a star studded event! Might even see me in some of the event pictures/videos taken by the other entertainment sites!

I just saw Hellboy-II and it was not as good as I expected.

Now, I'm waiting for The Dark Knight.

They're hardly going to say he was $hit embarassedlaugh.gif

to be fair he was already an oscar nominee and lauded for his talents before he died.

i thought that too, over the top praise but maybe it's validated. but then again idk what the criteria constitutes an oscar and what not

heath as the joker was great none the less

I don't mean he's generally $hit though I can't say he stands out to me but in the trailer I'm really unimpressed with his performance as the joker.

I saw this movie yesterday. Very nice movie, I won't say brilliant but very enthralling.

i tried booking imax tickets but they are sold out everywhere.

Me and my bro stayed up all night so we could watch the first showing today at the local theater.

This movie is fu-king amazing. Way better than the first one(also a great move). It had a couple villains but it was well thought out. Not like that spiderman 3 crap. There was love triangles, transformation from good to evil, insanity, human nature, sacrifice, destiny. So many great themes. They even went to hong kong! New gadgets, new toys, and the skylift in hk was friggin awesome. I have never been to a movie where people actually clapped. People clapped so many times during the movie, i lost count.

I highly recommend this movie. It isn't the same ole comic book movie.

Actually, Chinese in Hong Kong helped finance Christopher Nolan's first breakthrough film, Memento. I supposed That's why Nolan always tried to bring productions to Hong Kong.

Personally, I think the Chinese made a mistake.

Agreed.

Just saw Dark Knight. I liked it. HL and AE really did steal the show. I feel like CB was barely even in this movie.
ttocs
Good movie. I like it.

I liked the movie.

Too bad the combination of watching it late at night after a long day at work made the experience not so great. I was struggling to stay awake laugh.gif
