The Dark Knight was a masterpiece! My siblings, some friends, and I all watched it on opening day and, not so surprisingly, we all loved it (with the exception of a friend’s 4-year old brother who found the Joker too frightening). Deservingly, it became the first non-Narnia movie in three years to make it into the top ten in my list of top films.
Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and as Richard Roeper said, such a nomination would not simply be a sympathy vote. Ledger was brilliant in the movie - he makes Jack Nicholson’s performance in 1989’s Batman look like child’s play.
Of course, I still wish that WALL-E gets nominated for Best Picture, but as much of a masterpiece as that movie was, I thought The Dark Knight was even better, so I’d actually like the latter to win. I find it difficult for any other 2008 movie to top The Dark Knight’s achievement, but anything can happen.
My goodness… It’s been three days since I saw the movie, and I honestly couldn’t even force myself to stop thinking about it!

I just finished watching Jaws. It’s such a great early Spielberg film. The acing was great, the screenwriting, the effects - the shark was designed by Robert Mattey, who did the giant squid in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (the 1954 version).
It was a pretty good film. Obviously, the Joker was amazing, though this did make all of the other characters seem a bit…fake in comparison.
It didn’t exactly have the most linear of storylines to say the least, but it was exciting and enjoyable.
I don’t really understand the hype surrounding it, though. There were so many plot holes that made the film almost too unbelievable, and don’t get me started on Batman’s voice…!
I saw the Dark Knight. I thought it was a good movie. I was alittle confused by it, had questions in the end, but it was very enjoyable.THe Joker/Ledger was absoultely amazing, the best character in the whole entire movie. So well done, he made me laugh and scared at the same time.
For those of you who haven’t seen Speed Racer yet, let me sum it up for you: [spoil]RACE. Talking. RACE. More talking. BIG RACE. The end.[/spoil] But the music was tops.
In the entire history of human suffering, I have never watched a movie as horrible as the “Mummy 3”. Waste of money and a flop compared to the other 2 Mummy movies.
Dark Knight is the first live-action movie this year to blow my head off. That was some AWESOME acting with whoever played “The Joker”.
FounderofAzn- Yeah, they were, and I think he also started filming another movie…I can’t remember the name of it, but it’s a long and complicated title.
I’m sad to hear that the Mummy 3 is a bad film, though I’m not surprised either. I liked the original, and its sequel wasn’t half bad either, but the one thing that struck me with this third one is that there don’t actually appear to be any Mummys involved whatsoever.
I saw Michael Clayton aabout 4 hours ago. I thought it was a really good movie. Clooney and Swinton were brilliant. I absolutely loved the acting. THe ending was incredible as well.
Now I have not seen it but all my friends who have tell me it’s fun but technically stupid, but I’m a bit more hopeful for Mamma Mia! than a lot of others are.
TS2: I half agree and half disagree with you. Dark Knight was an amazing movie. However, I wonder which would people say would be better? WALL-E or Dark Knight?
