Merged: The Movies Thread

I can't wait to see the new Batman, it really looks kickassMy d-bag friend bought us tickets to the midnight showing tonight because apparently he thinks we're still in college.

Don't get me wrong: I don't think I've EVER wanted to see another movie as much as I want to see The Dark Knight; but I'm not looking forward to staying up until at least 3am and then working the next day.

Enough of my pity party... I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Hey I don't blame you. My days of going to midnight shows are long gone.

Hell, if a band I like comes to town and the show is during the week, it has to be a real favorite of mine for me to go. STP played just recently near me and the show was on Tuesday night... I didn't go. :(

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Batman as well, I like the look of it. Some day probably in the next week or so me and my friends are gonna go to the theater around 2, and try to watch The Dark Knight, Wanted (I think that's what its called, it's the movie with the curved bullet in the previews, Angelina Jolie is in it) and Hancock all in the same day.

I know nobody cares but I'm going to go checkout Mongol (http://www.apple.com/trailers/picturehouse/mongol/) tonight.

Hancock was eh, in my opinion. The "twist" was weak, I thought. But Will Smith is pretty damn funny for the first 15 minutes.

Mongol was the ish!

Dark Knight is getting serious Oscar buzz if you can believe it. Heath Ledger may get posthumous nominations. One critic put this movie up there with "Heat", "The Departed" and "Untouchables."

Anybody watch the Day Watch/ Night Watch movies? Am I missing something? I don't see what the big deal was about...

The director is all visuals, imo... he tends to get way too caught up in Russian philosophy that it totally makes the story incoherent.

He directed "Wanted" also.

The Dark Knight goes up there as one of the best all around films I've seen and is easily the best superhero movie ever. it is a bit lengthy but myself and the thousands of others that went to go see it tonight at my local theater where they had 12 sold out theaters showing the movie, didnt seem to mind one bit cuz it was so well done. This makes Heath Ledgers untimely demise even more tragic as his performance as the Joker was astonishingly perfect with there being a few scenes that captured the characters chaotic state of mind and how easily he can switch from a jokester to a completely menacing sociopath. This movie gets one of the highest recommendations from myself and I cant wait to see it again this weekend. oh and as amazing as Heath Ledger was, I think Aaron Eckhart was a very, very close second with his performance as Harvey Dent. I cant say this enough, go see this movie especially if you want a movie with incredible acting, awesome action sequences, and multiple moments that will put you on the edge of your seat, the dark knight is your huckleberry.

I completely agree.

Heath Ledger gave an all time great performance in my opinion. Everything he did, from the way he talked to the way he moved was absolutely chilling. My eyes were as wide as they could get every time he was on the screen, because you never knew what was going to happen next when he was around.
I really don't think the Oscar talk is fluff. He was as good as Javier Bardem (sp?) was in No Country For Old Men last year.

The overall movie was great too. Like skinsfanthru&thru said: a lot of peole might complain that it dragged on a bit too much at the end, which I can understand; but I don't think that took away from the movie. The story was much more realistic than any superhero movie I've ever seen (take that for what it's worth), and the acting was top notch. The opening scene had half the theater clapping for a good 2 minutes. What I loved about the special effects is that I hardly noticed them, unlike the new Indiana Jones movie.

My only complaint is that I went to a midnight showing, got to bed around 3:30 and had to wake up at 7 for work. Now I'm so hopped up on a huge Starbucks frozen coffee that I feel like my heart is going to explode.
Other than that, I seriously want to go see this movie again tonight.
