Just saw the new batman flick...

[PiZdETS]

It is badass!!! Well... up to about the last 3/4. They really should have cut about an hour out. All kinds of redundant plot devices, shallow moral relativity nonsense, pseudo philosophical bullshit and straight up preaching to the audience. Really let down by the ending.

Anyway, up until that last unnecessary hour, it's AMAZING. Best movie of the summer by far. Fantastic action, great writing, hilarious acting by heath ledger (the pencil scene and the hospital scene are the best), awesome gadgetry (MV Augusta and lambo reventon) the bat bike is sick, cell phone transmitter concept, air pick up balloon is sick and the eye candy at bruce waynes side is not bad either.
Oh and I'm guessing it's the biggest hit of the summer. The Brandon Lee effect is in full swing. I'm in allentown PA and the local movie place had 7 huge screens almost full seeing it at a midnight showing.

The previews made the new terminator looks badass as does the watchmen.

I NEVER go to movies but I might for the Watchmen!!! I was a huge comic book fan growing up and that was one of my favs!

Or local theatre had 7 screens open too. People started camping out on Wednesday morning. I can't believe that, even the day after Thanksgiving, I mean come on.... My ass is staying in bed, you couldn't even pay me to go out with those......
But yeah, I just found it funny that even in Fargo, ND people were camped out to get tickets..

that wasnt a revention, more like an lp640 i think

[Gas Man]

Yeah I want to see it for sure!

[Dnyce]

you see it in imax?

[itgirl]

so does heath ledger deserve the oscar for his joker portrayal? interested in seeing what the average movie-goer thinks, instead of all the critics.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

It was a really good performance but if he gets the oscar nod it's because he died. He was creepy and awesome but I'm not sure if it's the performance of the year.
