I have never been as pumped up for a movie as I am for this one. I've followed this baby from day one, and it's almost here after three long years. I've already pre-ordered my ticket for the midnight IMAX showing.
I'm trying to keep from going insane waiting for it. The internet hype isn't making it easier. There's only been a few official reviews for it so far, but every one of them is calling it a masterpiece. One critic even said it belonged on the same list as "the Departed," "Heat," and "The Untouchables" of great crime-dramas. More than one critic has called the greatest comic-based movie ever made, and even more have compared it to "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Godfather Part II" in terms of sequel quality. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_dark_knight/ All the while I just have to keep telling myself that I've waited three years, so I can wait another two weeks. BTW, one thing anyone who doesn't know already should be aware of before taking their kids to see it is that THIS IS NOT A KIDS MOVIE. I've read just about every available review for it so far and pretty much every critic at some point mentions that this movie is perhaps the most violent and intense movie to ever net a PG-13 rating, and they go on to say they wonder how "The Dark Knight" avoided an R-rating. As an adult male lifelong Bat-fan with no kids, this is what I've been waiting to hear my whole life. However, anyone with small kids thinking they can take them to see this and then go to McDonald's and get Batman toys in the happy-meals might want to think twice. Try "Wall-E" instead.

I am sooooo disappointed that I'm stuck living here in Waco by myself this summer. 1, there's a major lacking in good theaters, 2, I have no one to see this with. Maybe I can get a date. Ohoho. I crack myself up.

I too pre-ordered my tickets. I've been following this movie for 2 and a half years. The thing i'm worried about is WB's leaking a lot of footage online. Also, the movie's been selling out so fast, they're doing 3 a.m. showings at IMAX.

Batman Forever just sucked hard IMO.
TLJ, Jim Carrey, Alicia Silverstone, Clooney, Arnold? Too many stars in 1 movie for me.

its not the number of stars in the movie, its about the superhero and the feeling of the movie. Batman Forever completely lost touch with what made batman so cool-- his imperfection and dualism. Sure Bruce Wayne lived a double life in the movie but even as Batman he was just a goody two-shoes superhero. Bruce Wayne is supposed to be a scarred man uneasy with being new rich that wanted a family more than money and whose dark side has kept him lonely even with thousands of family friends around. His only real friend is Alfred who is a professional, paid servant. Bruce Wayne's alter ego, Batman is a terrorist and a mercenary who lives by instilling fear, who breaks the law, and acts quickly like an animal but without following any protocol. Batman is a man that focuses completely on the ends, and forgets the means-- doing good in bad ways. The duality of both characters is what makes batman such a compelling story. Batman Forever was the lamest of the lame because it had a protagonist with zero depth and made him fight ridiculously saturday-morning-cartoon-villains. What made Batman forever so bad is what makes Dark Knight so promising-- Batman as a tale of human imperfection, dualism, and fear. Its a story of ends and means, good and evil Last edited by EricaLubarsky; 07-07-2008 at 08:14 PM. |
