I wanted to go to the Midnight show, that didn't work out too much. Gonna see it Saturday afternoon (hopefully) and then again in IMAX during the week.
This movie looks absolutely filthy. Heath Ledger as Joker will be he his finest performance, without question.
Can not wait!!
For those whom are going, post back in here please! But don't ruin it for us!!

Just got back home form seeing it like 15 minutes ago. It was probably one of the best movies I have seen in the past couple years. Ledgers performance was unbelievable, no one else o this earth could have played the part of joker better!just when you thought was about to or beginning to end, it just really began to begin. I do not regret spending $10 to go see it, i will probably go see t a few more times within the next couple weeks. I give it a 10 out of 10! (but that might be a little bit biased because i am a huge Batman and Christian Bale fan)
that movie was absolutely amazing. it's easily the best movie so far this year, and will probably stay that way. heath ledger did an incredible job. what a way to go out...
i'd love to elaborate a bit more, but it's almost 4am and i gotta work in a few hours... haha

I wonder if this will be like when everyone said Batman Begins was incredible, and I thought it was teh crap.
Yeah but you hate everything that's good.
I loved it, saw it last night and reckon it's one of the better movies I've seen. The lighting, the effects gave it the air of a good cop drama (which it is) where the two main characters just happen to be in costume, Ledger was superb - I wouldn't go so far as to say Oscar-worthy but they'll probably give it to him anyway.
I hate using the term "gritty" to describe a film but this really is, it's stark, harsh, oddly bright in many scenes and with a sense of dread and tension that builds and builds and builds.
Two Face is grusome. It's amazing what they've done with his bad half.
I hope they figure out a third installment though I don't think there's really a villain out there that they can do - perhaps Roddy MacDowell as The Bookworm...
I dunno, I really liked the movie. It's not a lush sweeping film, it's like looking in a window on a real city with real people having to deal with a clash of two completely over the top characters who in turn are facing their own inner demons.
Great flick.
I think everyone owes it to themselves to experience this movie in an IMAX theater. Simply incredible.

That makes two of us. I couldn't stand the first one, don't know what everyone was raving about.
Apparently the London BFI IMAX will be doing 24-hour screenings since there has been massive demand for tickets.
Unbelievable! Sounds like maybe it just isn't your kind of movie. Or maybe you're one of those who likes your Batman with nipples.
Batman Begins was fantastic.Like chundles said- you hate everything.
I just returned from a midnight showing - and am still digesting - so will keep my review short.
Pretty great movie. The Joker character, by large virtue of Ledger's portrayal, was scary, funny and a sympathetic character. By far the highlight of the movie. I thought Aaron Eckhart did a pretty decent job with Harvey Dent. Christian Bale was fine - but his Batman "growl" was a bit much. Movie was quite long - but haven't decided if unecessarily so.
An aside, not related to the movie:
I saw, like I said, the midnight showing (actually, they had 12:01, 12:02, 12:03 showings). 14 screens in one theater - 6 lines, all huge (I showed up at 10:30 - met a couple of friends there since 9:30). People in all manner of costumes. I may have been near the oldest in any line in my mid 30's.
My line was the last show. It collapsed into a literal sprint of 800 people for the theatre - complete breakdown of order. Show started at 12:45 (previews).It was pandemonium. There were kids as young as 10 in this show, which got out at 3:35am - they seemed unescorted. Insane stuff.
There were also 3am and 6am showings around - all sold out through the weekend. This movie is going to make unheard amounts of money.

Apparently I hate everything good. Soulja Boy must be reeeeeeaaaally good then, because I really really hate him.
I really liked it. Solid movie. I am, however, now feeling the effects as I begin the 8-hour workday. 2.5 hours of sleep just wasn't enough. Am I too old for this? d-:
Hmmm, what's an appropriate taunt? Oldiepants? Yes, that will do nicely.
Oldiepants! Oldiepants! Ha ha ha!
Loved it, best film of '08 for me. Saw it at midnight there and it was great, everyone laughing at some of Ledgers dialogue but it was still amazing stuff. Lots of ohh's, damn, wahoo, clapping, etc. Oh and also:
The Dark Knight breaks midnight record with $17+M!

Just got out of the theater. It was very good, but a bit long. Heath Ledger was great, but so was Aaron Eckhart as Two Face. There were definitely some surprises. I will also say that this is one dark, gloomy movie and it's kind of put me in a mood. This is a very sad film as there isn't much to be happy about. Overall, good for Nolan for resisting the Hollywood machine and not giving it a happy ending.
