« bingo : Am I the only one not excited to see it? Possibly never will. Haven't seen the last few Batman movies.

The last few Batman movies have nothing at all to do with the two latest Batman movies. It's a new director, a new Batman, a whole new take, better than any one before it.

« melgesevad : I'm seeing it at the Imax at the MN Zoo. Aparently, they shot the movie with about 20 mins of Imax footage. I saw Batman Begins there and it was awesome.

I saw Batman Begins and V for Vendetta there too!! =0)

That's the problem there. The last two are not the ones you have seen. They are perfect. -as far as I know.

« maven : OMG...the drive in theatre is showing The Dark Knight and Journey to the Center of the Earth!!!!

I can't imagine the crowd, though. I think I'll go Sunday morning.

The Dark Knight's Journey to the Center of the Earth? That sounds AWESOME.

I can't imagine the crowd, though. I think I'll go Sunday morning at the regular theatre.

Edit to specify that...Didn't want anyone thinking I was going to a drive-in in the morning.

« Bornbad : Perfect weekend to go see Hellboy And Hancock. Those theaters will be empty. I'll take Jetka to see the Dark Knight on Monday or Tue.

Hancock was very entertaining.

I hope to see it this weekend. I've watched all the Batman movies.

« Chez:
omfg I'm such a nerd.

Thank you so much, I was biting my tongue waiting for you. I new that my explanation would pale in comparison to yours.

« theclansman : I won't go tonight, but definitely in the next few days.

I do think it is over-hyped though, I am wary of Heath Ledgers role as the Joker, I just don't believe for a second that he can pull it off with the style that Nicholson had. It seems like he done a great job of being a crazy/scary Joker, but in the original Batman the Joker was more than just some crazy gangster. He was this hilarious, charismatic and likable villain.

I guess I'll find out soon enough though.

I agree that it's being overhyped, but I'm a diehard Joker fan so I can only cross my fingers that it'll live up to the hype surrounding it. I liked how Nicholson acted, but I never liked his physical portrayal--then again this was the late 80's. In cinematic terms though, it's a classic role. This is a whole different movie though, so comparison is null imho.

As for The Joker's character, it depends which comic you're talking about. Yeah, for the most part he's a funny gangster, but don't forget he has a reaaaaaally f**ked up side to him.
In "The Killing Joke" for example, he's so demented and ruthless that he shoots Barbara Gordon at point blank range, opens her blouse and rearanges her body multiple times taking pictures. He later kidnaps and beats commissioner Gordon senseless, then he makes him see all these horrible pictures of his daughter whom he presumes is dead.

Yeah, he makes funny quips while doing derranged things, but don't let the cartoons fool you he's a homicidal lunatic with a sense of humor.

omfg I'm such a nerd.

eLJay @ 7/17/2008 4:21:20 PM

I am intrigued by it, but no $ for a sitter and a movie at this time. I will probably wait until it is on demand and I can watch it for $5 and not need a sitter. Have fun Chez. Give us a review.

I wish I could go tonight, but that pesky work thing...

We'll probably go this weekend, since it won't be in the theatres still when Hubbin returns.

*Raises hand and continues to fist pump.

ReBoot @ 7/17/2008 12:35:06 PM

I will see it eventually. I never go on opening night, because if it bombs then my dollar helped make a s**tty movie break the box office (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Here We Go Again, for example).

I also don't like seeing movies that are surrounded by tons and tons of hype, because they generally tend to suck beyond reason (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the "I Can't Believe I Paid Seven Bucks To Watch This Nutjob's Ego Trip", for example)

Rowangrey @ 7/17/2008 10:54:33 AM

We're getting the whole gang together to see the midnight showing tonight, despite the fact that we have to get up first thing tomorrow morning and drive 5 hours. :)

Did I mention my husband is a crazed BatFan?

icepigs @ 7/17/2008 10:42:37 AM

I will try to catch it sometime over the next 3 or 4 days....

unzercharlie @ 7/17/2008 10:33:28 AM

I want to see it bad but I'm going to be out of town this weekend, I'll hopefully see it next week.

indisguise @ 7/17/2008 10:30:41 AM

i have to wait a bit. no $. i plan on seeing it though.

Jerry520 @ 7/17/2008 10:28:59 AM

I WILL SEE THIS MOVIE THROUGH HELL OR HIGH WATER! I SWEAR IT! O_O

Alright, who's going to see it tonight!?
*raises hand franticly*

So fellow plimates... are you excited? Do you think this film is over hyped? What are your thoughts, what are you expecting from this film and do you think it will deliver? Do tell!
