Saw new Batman movie... OMG Awesome!!!

[Vindingo]

I just got back from the movie and have some mixed feelings on it. 

1 - I think they could have dragged it out into 2 movies.  This one was a bit long

2 - Maggie G....  not so much.

3 - entertaining, but not worth $21   I should have waited for the dvd

$21?!!!  are you serious?  where the hell do you live?

wow.  yeah, worth 8.50...but no movie is worth that coin.

Is that in an IMAX theater?  And for 2?

Going down at some point this week to see it at IMAX.

OK, I went last night. And absolutely loved the flick. Best comic hero movie ever. 

aside from the fact that they played characters from 2 different storylines with the same name, ledger blew nicholson out of the freaking water. the only thing i didn't like was when he would lick the corners of his mouth. i can't stand hearing mouth noises and that came close to making me walk out.

If I recall correctly, folks with a bad coke habit tend to do this. Maybe Ledger thought it would lend a manic edge to the rest of the madness. Or it was unintentional. 

Ledger's acting was incredible. I had chills running down my spine a couple of times, and an actor's portrayal will rarely get to me like that. I might just have to go see it again.....

And she looks like a sad sea turtle.

That just made me choke on a potato chip.

It was all downhill after this one.

There is so much crappy CGI in movies these days that I feel like I am watching South Park everytime there is an action sequence.

I did like Maggie from The Secretary though with James Spader.

i assumed it was from the scars.  like when you have a cut or sore in your mouth, you can't stop touching it with your tongue.

I went into this flick with such high expectations but I can't remember ever being so disappointed.  I am the kind of person that likes to see things succeed and I am always more accepting the critics, but this film gave me nothing.  The performances were ok but what was the point of this script?   I liked the older batman movies.  The old TV series was  better.  My wife summed up my feelings about this film when she said to me, "I think it was an ok movie, good in some ways, but we have better things to do with out time."

Way over hyped.

Was it good?  Yes.

Was it great? No.

Ledger was fine as the Joker, but really playing a psycho isn't the hardest thing.  He just has to laugh when he shouldn't, act the opposite you woudl expect someone to and move in a stilted manner and BAM, he's a psycho.

Aaron Eckhart on the other hand, was great as Harvey Dent/Two-Face.  I'd rather he be nominated than Ledger.

I much preferred Maggie G over Katie Holmes since a) she can act and b) she's not married to a psycho.

It was fine, but I definitely wouldn't go and see it again.
