The Dark Knight, Ultra Mega Hype Thread

If anyones interested it - included on the "Batman Begins" Blu-ray recently released is the first 6 minutes of "The Dark Knight". It introduces the Joker and it's a very awesome beginning :p

Just to add more hype, I saw this before flying back from thailand, and it's bloody awesome. Ignore what Curio has been going on about. It thoroughly deserves its 9.7 on IMDB.

Why? Come on, why? What makes it so special? Seriously, I'd love to know why the hell everybody is raving about this movie because the one I saw, although very enjoyable, was not a cut above.

I might have to go and see it again ffs :p
 
I kinda dubious over the 9.7...

It's quite amazing that it's held up 9.7 / 10 on IMDB with now nearly 50,000 votes so it must be great, but I can't see it being THAT good. Shawshank / Godfather which I'd say are two of the greatest movies ever made and border perfection are only around 9.0 - 9.2. Eagerly looking forward to it though, to really see if it's as good as IMDB shows it to be :)

Normally on IMDB you see movies get mega high scores, like well over 9 but they normally only have a couple of thousand votes and it's all the fanboi's giving it 10/10, but I can't see it having 50,000 fanboi's :P Even the IMDB Top 250 voters who's votes are the ones that count in the Top 250 rankings gave it on average 9.5 / 10 and they are normally quite harsh.
 
Could also argue who cares what anyone else thinks too ? I mean speaking personally I either want to go see a film or I dont, I dont base my wanting to see a film on what someone else thinks, theres plenty of films that get good ratings that i either dont see or if i have seen it think were crap, also films which everyone else pans that i see and love

Am looking forward to the movie, but its just a movie and its just batman, hardly the second coming lol, sense some people need to get a grip and a reality check

There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting excited about a film/album/computer game/concert.
It is small pleasures in life that can keep you going when you look at the reality of working five days a week!

If everyone "gets a grip" and treats every release as just another film/album/game/concert it'd be a pretty boring world.
 
watched it last night ;)

Epic film, deserves a 10/10, heath ledger performance of the joker is stunning, saying that tho the film is seriously stunning overall

wont give nothing away as anything i say will be a spoiler, i love this film, got to be one of the best ive ever seen, does drag a little after a couple of characters snuff it tho

Completely agree

Anyway I "heard" that its very good and Ledger is excellent, 9.5/10 on the grapevine ;)

Batman dies in the opening scene after slipping on a banana skin and getting impaled on a large orange telegraph pole. Quite tragic really, especially as Morgan Freeman's inventing character was working on some non-slip rubber grips for his boots.

Fortunately, the appearance of Barney the Dinosaur in bed with Hilary Clinton in scene 2 really rescues the film.
 
FFS Spoiler alert please platypus!

I was hoping it was Big Bird not Barney, totally ruined it and no point going now

As hilarious a response as that was, I was implying that a film can't be 'perfect' if it "drags a little".
