Hey so i went and saw this today. Was impressed. I'm glad they got rid of the "shaky" camera during the fight scenes that they had in the first film.
Joker was amazing, really going to miss him in the third movie (as Heath Ledger I mean). TwoFace was great too, memorable. Hell, most of the movie was great. I only noticed the length of the movie a couple of times, sometimes wondered when they would cut off and make you wait for the third movie, but they never did, they managed to cover everything well.
Definitely looking forward to the next one.Comment

Re: The Dark Knight
wow that YouTube spoof is gold.
I was like, this Joker sucks ... I can't watch another Joker after Ledger played it so well ... then I realized it wasn't about the Joker, and then the lol's started.Comment

Re: The Dark Knight
If I am recalling it correctly, that wasn't his natural voice during that scene.
Maybe they should have just used a filter or dubbing or something. I do admit a different voice would have been better, I just don't think Bale could have done it much differently. And the problem you're identifying with it was definitely present in the first film, just that his voice becomes more intelligible as he applies more intensity, and he simply wasn't as intense vocally during most of the film. There are points in the first film where his voice isn't bad, there are points in this second film where his voice isn't bad, and there are points in each film where the voice is bad. It's just when it's more intense that it becomes harder to understand ("Where were the other drugs going?" and "Swear to me!" in Batman Begins, and this interrogation scene in Dark Knight, although there are actually portions of it in that scene where he pitches his voice lower without making it difficult to understand).

Re: The Dark Knight
ok so it was a very good movie to see. I loved the certain mannerisms that heath ledger was able to bring to the joker to give him that darker feeling, including the voice and the way he licks his lips every now and again. the joker was played so well. Heath did a great job digging down deep and finding that psychopath and bringing it do life.
I thought the special effects were visually pleasing and it is something i would love to see again. The acting from the main characters was done pretty good. Two-Faced that came in the end of the movie was awesome. That face is something i wont forget.
Even though the length of the movie was about two hours and thirty minutes, the storyline was able to keep me interested and i didn't notice the length at all. I was surprised that i didn't find a dull moment in the movie.
Great film, definitely one that will be remembered

Re: The Dark Knight
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet..which kinda surprises me, but i gotta say one of my favorite things about the movie is that siren-like noise that they made every time Joker was about to appear and make the **** hit the fan.Comment

Uh, it's the guitar that comes in. It's called The Joker Theme or Suite or something on the soundtrack. It sounds like a siren."A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."

Re: The Dark Knight
The only time I ever went woah at Heath's acting was when he was doing the Why so Serious? bit.
Other than that, I didn't really see the OMG THAT WAS AMAZING stuff that everyone keeps talking about.
Also, if anyone from the movie deserves a Best ____ Award, then it would have to be Two Face. It's much harder to be a round character (overall attitudes change during the course of the movie) than a flat one (attitudes don't change) and Two Face definitely was round while Joker was flat.Comment

Re: The Dark Knight
I've considered expressing this sentiment myself, but couldn't bring myself to it. No matter how flat the character is, the portrayal is amazing and pretty spot on. But the reason for that is simple: the Joker is not a complex character. He's a homicidal maniac who has an illogical personal vendetta against Batman. The only way they could have even come close to having a touch of depth would have been a fully faithful adaptation of the Killing Joke (at least the joker's origin anyway), but that doesn't do the character justice. The audience shouldn't associate this character with humanity. He should be flat. This is why the climax of the film plays out as it does, the plot proves that Joker's idea that everyone is just like him deep down is wrong.Joker was flat.
Honestly, if I had to nitpick anything about his performance it was his delivery of the "why so serious" line. It was a great delivery, but it didn't fit the character perfectly like everything else. I would have rather seen a derangement in his eyes and possibly a cackle or something. Some sort of direct indication that he wasn't so serious.The only time I ever went woah at Heath's acting was when he was doing the Why so Serious? bit.
