The Dark Knight
Awesome fil, but drained at the end of - 142 mins with some very disturbing images and themes. Even still great stuff

Re: The Dark Knight

Re: The Dark Knight
I found it a bit disappointing really. A good popcorn movie certainly, but maybe my expectations were a bit high. In my opinion, nowhere near as good as the first one.
If there was a God, then why is my arse the perfect height for kicking?
Re: The Dark Knight
Agree. I did enjoy it, but it seemed to lack a certain flow. Did Batman have that ridiculous voice in the last one?

Re: The Dark Knight
Snaffled you must have been in a totally different movie to me??
Nothing like front row tickets in Gold Class it felt at times I was actually doing some of the stunts myself.
I thought it was brilliant - I nearly had to walk out though if The Joker got any sicker. Heath is fantastic in the role shame it was his last - it's going to be a challenge for whoever takes on the role in the future (should there be another one of course )
Plot was good and it wraps up nicely by the end - even though I am one of those that usually guesses everything before it happens there were a few surprises for even me.
Loved all the cars, the chases & gadgets
Very well cast: Christian Bale ,Michael Caine,Heath Ledger,Gary Oldman,Aaron Eckhart ,Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman.
Def not for the faint hearted I was jumping out of my seat at quite a few scenes!!!

Re: The Dark Knight
not seen it yet, but the feedback from little sister was ' yeah, it was all right' (down on the emphasis, not YEAH all RIGHT)
so my expectations are now nicely set back to where they should be and I'll probably enjoy it the more from that perspective.

IMAX Sydney has tickets galore spare.
Re: The Dark Knight
I'll say one thing for it. The sound was amazing. I think I need some new speakers and amps

Is it a chick flick?

If you thought that Transformers was unsuitable for P(min)3, then this certainly is..

Re: The Dark Knight
Batwoman - I so agree with you. If the Joker had gotten any worse I dont know if I could have handled it - he was such a dispicable character. I love that this worked with the other film - not better or worse - I just felt that it was part of the same story. I am looking forward to 2 face in the next one

Much like any piece of precision equipment, if you don't use it often it starts to lose it's accuracy.

Possum I don't think this at all suitable for your Possumettes - especially Possumette 3Possum wrote:Cool, I'll get tickets for the possumette's then ...still haven't forgiven HoD!
