This movie was great many people watched it more than 2x that says something about it and it even re released in the theaters. I guess you just may not be intothese types of movies to understand how good it was.

Hey_
I gotta keep in mind that I'm not gonna get any logical reasoning as to why or why not something is good on NT.

I know what you mean. I liked the movie when I saw it in theaters, the Joker is an amazing character but people are either on crack when they say the movie is the best movie ever or more likely they are very young the only movies they have seen have been the summer action adventures and dumb comedies of the last few years. If that is case and that is for many of the hardcore Dark Knight fanboys, the Dark Knight is the most sophisticated, intense and dramatic movie that you have seen.
I think most people that say that are letting the hype get to them. I will be the first to say that this is my favorite movie and one of the best I've everseen as far as overall production. Of course there are far better overall movies, but the added attachment to the character of Batman adds a little more topeoples feelings. I feel that way about a lot of comic book movies. I can watch anything X-men all day and still like it but at the exact time realize thatthis is a horrible adaptation or movie plot because of the charcters.

Finally, another NTer who found DK boring.
Dark Knight is overrated on so many levels man.
This film was everything it was supposed to be.
Great cast, great dialogue, great directing, everything.
As much as I liked it, I will agree that it was just a touch long. 10 minutes shorter would have really helped out imo.
Joker was superb, we all know that, but Dent was also great in this film as was Freeman, Caine, and Oldman.
The only character I had any problems with was Racheal Dawes. Katie Holmes sucks as an actress, but she's a lot more fun to look at then Maggie Gylenhal.
When Joker called her pretty I thought he was talkin to someone elsefor a minute.

You don't need logical reasoning. It's an opinion, live with it.

Saying to only compare it to action movies is stupid. It had action, but it wasn't really centered around the action. It was about the characters.That's a plus when you compare it to other superhero movies, but not when you look at it in the context of great movies like the ones he posted. Hell,there wasn't even that much action in this movie. Except for the one (mediocre) chase scene, none of the "action" in this is similar to theaction in a movie like the Departed. The movie has some flaws. i really, really hate the introduction of that stupid blue vision thing. It added nothing to themovie, except to try and introduce some conflict between Wayne and Fox. Also, there isn't enough Bruce Wayne being Bruce Wayne. The only times you see himout of the suit he's still talking about being Batman. It needs more conflict between him as a normal person and him as Batman. The movie would be muchbetter served if we actually saw Bruce Wayne interacting with the other characters, so we could contrast Wayne and Batman.

- Yeah; me, too!
- I saw it in theaters on Omniverse (Screen arches over your head, instead of simply a flat wall) Imax twice last year; I purchased the Blu-Ray when it firstreleased and watched that twice. It's been cycling on HBO a lot lately; whenever I see that it's on, I watch (while doing other things, but I stillturn it on. It's my current go-to film).

Jesus...everytime its on HBO now I've been watching it, and I own the damn Blu Ray.
Movie is great man, since you just saw it you probably had some UNREAL expectations for it because of the hype.
If you saw this opening weekend before any of the hype (in IMAX), you would've appreciated this flick more.
This is everything a comic book adaptation should be, the movie isn't cheesy its dark and REAL.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. But I feel that watching the movie in theaters and on DVD to be two completely different experiences, with thelatter shortchanging it.

It seems like you somewhat got the gist of the "stupid blue vision thing."
The "stupid blue vision thing" is a silhouette of a bat that has flames around it. It's supposed to represent a major theme through out the moviewhich is limits. Batman Begins has a similar opening with families of bats flying in formation making a huge bat symbol. That represented a major theme in thatmovie which was about Bruce getting over his fear of bats. In the Dark Knight, the bat is in a flame because Batman had to break some limits. Remember whenBruce asked Alfred how they caught a bandit that was stealing rubies for sport and he responded by saying "we burned the forest down"? Batman had tometaphorically "burn the forest down" when he had to use the bat sonar (by spying on the city in the process) to find the Joker. When Batman usedthe sonar in the final scene it was in blue which connects to the blue, flamed bat symbol at the introduction. Thus the representation of "burning theforest down."

I loved this movie when I first saw it, I thought it was epic. But I watched it at least 3 times on Blu-ray and I don't hold it in such high regardanymore. Best superhero movie for sure, very realistic themes which makes it supercede the super hero movie genre and touch bases with the crime genre.
