What do you rekon about (spoiler time) -

Seeing that I got infracted once for accidentally posting something about Spider-Man 3 when the movie was fresh out, I'm not going to go down that road again. But yeah, I guess he just might.

The_Red_Hope · 18th July 2008, 07:20

Its finally out !!!!!! Going for it twice today. Taking half the day off from work. Couldn't be more excited.

IBleedRed · 18th July 2008, 08:04

Im not going to say anything except
go and see this movie

Donado · 18th July 2008, 12:05

Just saw it. I've been waiting for this movie for the best part of 3 years now....and to be honest, the first hour or so left me a little underwhelmed. Sure, they introduced the Joker, sure they introduced Dent, they had a couple of fight sequences, but to me the film took a long time to take off. But when it did, it fucking flew. Fantastic stuff, makes piddly stuff like Spiderman look amateurish and laughable in comparison. Ledger as the Joker is fantastic, absolutely brilliant, although I wish he had more screen time. Bale is excellent as usual, as is Eckhart as Dent and two face. Crazy cgi/make up for that btw...

Go watch it, it's worth the two and a half hour sitting.Well worth it actually, I think I'll be going again soon.

zing · 19th July 2008, 11:35

Ledger... fucking hell.

kps88 · 19th July 2008, 12:51

Just saw it. Ledger stole the show. Would'nt mind seeing it again soon.

wancolos · 19th July 2008, 12:52

Not coming out here until the 25th.

Can't wait!

olesmyhero · 19th July 2008, 13:03

Might go see it tomorrow.

Garethw · 19th July 2008, 13:18

They reckon that it grossed a record shattering $60 million dollars yesterday(Friday)

I think it was closer to $100 mill.

Absolutely brilliant performance from Ledger. I don't know what else to say.

zing · 19th July 2008, 15:39

I'll see it another 2 times at least

It was amazing

KeyserSoze · 19th July 2008, 15:48

So is this Ledger performance worth an oscar nomination,the hysteria of the movie aside? Jack Nicholson should have won it for his interpretation I thought.

reelworld · 19th July 2008, 16:35

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Ledger simply own that role. Sorry Jack, but you've been replaced. All the cast was excellent. I'm going to see it again tomorrow.

Here's my thought.
I know Heath Ledger is the actor who is playing the Joker in this movie, but everytime Joker come up, I simply can't imagine that the dude from Brokeback Mountain and Cassanova was that same guy I'm seeing on the screen.

He completely become that role. If Johnny Depp can be nominated playing a pirate from a Disney ride, surely Ledger playing a comic book villain is possible to get nominated as well.

Donado · 19th July 2008, 18:39

A bloody brilliant interpretation of the comic book villain who is also by far the best comic book villain ever.

Donado · 19th July 2008, 18:39

Seen it three times by the way...going for the fourth time tomorrow.The release coincided with a break from coursework so that was a blessing in disguise

Donut · 19th July 2008, 19:59

Ok, so i've watched the trailers like 100 times, no exaggeration

, mainly because Joker looks to be so fucking cool. I have huge expectations, hopefully they'll be fullfilled.

IMDB rating and people saying they've watched it 4 times already makes me happy

.

Wow, 9.6 on IMDB after 7000 odd votes.

That's incredible.

Can't wait till Thursday now.

This movie better be good.

Sounds good then, from what I heard he was totally immersed in it during the filming in terms of getting it right. Of course this lead to inevitable speculation that this was part of the reason for the pills or depression etc. Who knows.

Looking forward to seeing it when it comes out here.

mehro · 20th July 2008, 00:16

Awesome. Simply awesome.

It's 9.7 now with more than 20000. Those who have seen it, is it really that good?

Can't wait!

KeyserSoze · 20th July 2008, 01:59

Paz why dont you just not post in or read the thread you retard. Simple solution.

Bury Red · 20th July 2008, 02:17

Saw it yesterday, lives up to and exceeds all the hype. Not sure whether there were a couple of cuts made in the Singapore cinema release though and couldn't believe that there were parents who had taken kids as young as 3 with them (one in a push chair

). The one in the push chair was carried out by her mum at one point crying "but I don't like the man" only to be carried back in again 5 minutes later still crying with a tub of popcorn.

I hope their kids keep them awake with the nightmares and therapy bills for years to come.

zing · 20th July 2008, 05:52

which rating is the correct one?
the one on the main imdb page or on the top 250 page?

Jacob · 20th July 2008, 08:31

Do people go several times to the cinemas to watch the same movie again?

Devil_3565 · 20th July 2008, 14:05

saw it thrice already..planin to go again.... fucking brilliant
