I for one loved this movie. I thought Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart both did a fabulous job. Christian Bale did a great job too...it seems like one of the reason people are criticizing his performance is because he was overshadowed by Heath Ledger (for whatever reason, be it his actual acting ability, or the fact that he died before the movie was released).
The "raspy voice" thing was necessary and part of the story, to keep his identity secret, right? I didn't find it distracting at all. |

I will agree with the cheese-factor. When I first heard him talk like that, I giggled a little. But then I just ignored it. |
I definitely need to see it on the big screen. The bootleg version on the comp sucked which made his voice even more annoying and hard to understand.

Boy, they really dragged this **** out.
I think there wasn't anything really spectacular about this movie. It went in directions that the first movie never touched upon, but it ended up taking the awesome atmosphere that the first movie generated and chucking it out the window, and instead made the movie depressing and annoying. The storyline was pretty far-fetched, and it seemed like the directors had all sorts of great ideas for the movie, but couldn't face the facts that they could only use some of them, so they crammed them all in. The boat situations also added to the depressing atmosphere. Please, if any movie is going to have those kinds of situations, it's going to be Saw. |
It's based off of a comic book... far-fetched story lines shouldn't be a big surprise.

People who give this movie bad reviews just want to feel obscure and good about themselves.

No one who wanted to go see it actually hated it. There was nothing wrong with that film except for Maggie's face. Quote:
The joker robs a mob bank, give the money to the guy he's going to set up as the fall guy for why the mob should follow him? I think this movie was beyond well constructed, this was labored over and I can't say one terrible thing about it. As for it being relevant in 30 years, well thats primarily dependent on how topical it was for the time I think. Part of making the characters last over time is them representing a sentiment within society. The characters are as complex and emotionally entangled as it gets and the subjectivity of their emotions allow them to shift from one side of the coin to the other, still holding their ground, but showing that we can't place a black and white analysis on any emotional disposition. I think it will hold up just fine. The godfathers no different. The kid in the godfather (i don't remember names) wants to stand for honor and whats right, and he comes home from war to find that the "just" are corrupted as well and theres no difference between the cops and the criminals. In fact its closer to batman than I originally thought. As for his "****ty acting." I'm not sure whats so bad about it. Batman's always spoken with that terrible fake voice. Its supposed to be obviously bad. He's in a giant ****ing bat suit, did you expect him to be serious sounding? Its not Sifl & Olly. (/avoids "why so serious" comment) And as Bruce Wayne, Bail was untouchable. |

Sifl & Olly? That's a blast from the past. |

If you didn't realize that voice was over the top and silly then you either have stock in the batman franchise and are paid to defend it or you are just so bat silly for this movie you will ignore how silly his voice was. No other Batman that I remember watching EVER put on such a stupid voice. They always just talked deep under their breath careful not to use any recognizable characteristics of their actual voice. They didn't sound like they had throat cancer. The movie was good, it wasn't the greatest but it was good... will it stand up in 30 years as a good movie, the fact it's a super hero movie does put some strikes against it. Lots of special effects makes it harder for a movie to hold up in a time where the special effects are far more advanced. The Godfather didn't use special effects, that movie holds up on a good storyline, good acting and the fact it was in color helps as well. |

Yeh, but like I said it doesn't hurt my enjoyment of the film, and it was certainly expected.

I loved this movie. Before I seen it I was a bit skeptical. There was so much hype over Heath Ledgers character and how he should win awards based on his performance. I thought there was so much hype because he had died so pepole were making a big deal. But, I went and seen the movie and all I could say it WOW! He was amazing and I don't think anyone could have played his part better.
|
Is it just me or does batman sound like nathan explosion?
|
I love this movie. I'm totally buying it when it comes out.

I think it'll definately amount to best movie of the year. I saw a midnight showing, (and then another a couple of days later....and I have it on my computer...), and I was blown away by it. I was also one of the people going to the theater skeptical, because the thought of Ledger once taking it up the ass onscreen, sickened me. But the guy made one hell of a good Joker. As far as I know, if the Joker is even in the next movie, it will only be as a shadow in a cell. And Nolan has already said the next movie will more than likely be the last, and Bale acknowledged. So we have one more gem to look forward to.
Edit: And it'll more than likely be The Riddler or Catwoman (or both) in the next movie. It definately wont be Penguin. Nolan said so, and Bale threatened to quit if it was. :laughing: |

but what's so wrong with the penguin? |
Watching Batman Forever now, it's funny how you don't notice how things are so cheesy when you're a kid!
|
Haha, yeah.
Quote:
I'd say the same thing if it were Mel Gibson, so don't let it bother you. And I didn't really like Penguin that much as a villian.....and I guess Nolan doesn't either. He just said he definately will not be using Penguin. |

Man, I loved this movie. I've always been a big fan of Batman, ever since I was a baby, and this movie just... destroyed stuff. Heath Ledger did great **** with his final performance. Too bad, you know, he kinda lost it afterwards. Shame shame shame. But otherwise, the movie was great aside from that too, ie. the writing and direction. I can't comment on the other acting seeing as Ledger stole the whole movie, really. Overall, it has to be one of the best movies I've seen in the past few years.

Great movie this was. More Yoda it needed.
Anyway, I saw this 3 times. And now I can look forward to seeing 9000 jokers this Halloween in downtown Austin. Oh joy. After seeing this film with my brother, we went to Sonic and he ordered in the voice of Batman. Haha you would have had to been there. |
I'm not gonna lie, I saw it 3 times. Easily one of the better movies I saw all year

I saw it again. It gets better and worse each time...The cheese stands out more, but the great moments are also more noticeable and I saw a bunch of little things I missed (Look very closely at Dent's memorial service scene).

Also, what is Batman saying? |
That's not what I meant, there's just a little discrepancy that I though was funny.
|
Quote:
But I just saw Batman anyway. I wanna compare Jackie and Ledger to see who da best. |
Just watch it online, or youtube the scene.
|
I am now thoroughly intrigued and youtube does not have the scene. And I refuse to sit and watch it online. Please, please, tell me what this discrepancy is.
|
Haha, I feel so powerful. PM me about it, so I don't ruin it for other people.
