Batman-The Dark Knight Returns
Saw the midnight show. Overall was a great movie. Heath Ledger put on a hell of a show as the Joker. Two-Face was kinda weak in the end for me but it all tied in to the next installment I guess. Some things will suprise you and the ending was a surprise as well.
I enjoyed and will go back and see it again.
Re: Batman-The Dark Knight Returns
I was wowed by this one. Totally overwhelmed. Being a huge fan I figured I ruined the movie for myself by seeing too much beforehand. Though I was surprised by lots of different things. I'm trying to soak it all in right now, that was a whole lot of movie. So much stuff happens, so quickly. I'm gonna go see it again at least a few more times.
I loved the ending though. I thought it ended perfectly, and a 3rd installment could go in a interesting direction. As of right now the my wowed factor is a 10/10, overall though I'm thinking this movie is about a 9/10 because there were a few things that I didn't care for. Yes, there are FLAWS in this movie. It's not perfect, but its a hell of a sequel and there are some brilliant moments scattered throughout the film. Somewhere in there is a masterpiece I believe.

I loved the movie. My only complaint was the seating. They apparently oversold for my theater so i had to share a seat with a friend

Re: Batman-The Dark Knight Returns
Great movie, I only considered the 89 version and the sequel tops in the series, but this one blow them all away. I', still torn I think each Joker performance hold their own, but this is a darker movie series. I would love to see it on an IMAX screen.
Re: Batman-The Dark Knight Returns
You know I promised myself that I wouldn't praise him because it seems to be the thing to do, though I gotta say you are exactly right. Ledger NAILED the Joker, the writer/director nailed the Joker. He was absolutely PERFECT and its a damn shame that Ledger isn't with us anymore because IMO he will surely win awards for this performance and of course<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Warning, Spoiler: <input type="button" class="form-button" value="Show" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName(' div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('d iv')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('d iv')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }" /></div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div style="display: none;"> he would have been in the 3rd movie because lets face it, HE WINS.</div></div></div> I was in total awe of this Joker. The theater I watched it in apparently was too....
Re: Batman-The Dark Knight Returns
IMO this movie wouldnt have been half as big if he hadnt had died
Re: Batman-The Dark Knight Returns
no, this movie was already huge without the death of Heath Ledger.
Yes, his death will draw in a whole new crowd.. but this movie already had so much buzz and hype about him being the joker.
Re: Batman-The Dark Knight Returns
Saw it today. Great movie. I liked "Begins" better, but still solid. Ledger was super as the Joker. I disagree with the comments that the movie was bigger due to his death. I was excited about this movie after watching "Begins". His death really had no barring on me wanting to see this movie.
I give it an A- only because I thought the first installment was better.
