  • @TheAnarchistWarrior7 you know you could of just said you blind

  • I personally think this is the worst sequel I have ever seen! Batman begins was ok, but this is worse! Ledger did a TERRIBLE job as Joker! The entire movie was a bag of vomit!

  • i loved batman and the joker. Both characters were interesting to me, heath was amazing but so was bale. This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object

  • whats he on about - batman begins got a different director behind the lense?!

  • batman is one of the only good kinda cliche superhero comics. i love comics.. but super man.. spiderman.. greenlantern.. ughh fucking terrible

  • this movie was awesome the joker was cooler than batman in this film.lol

  • LOVED this movie so much...

    Keep em coming, Nolan!!

    x

  • the only downside to what christopher nolan is doing with the batman series is that hes making it to where batman is the only superhero in his world so there will never be the much asked for meeting of batman and superman. his brother is doing the same thing with the superman reboot "Superman: Man of Steel"

  • Ya know what...?

    This flick owes a lot stylisticly too The Crow.

    The anarchy, mindless destruction that the villian(s) revel in, the serious tone (heh!), the dark brooding city scape, sam kind of somber vibe....

    Of course...The Crow comic/flick ows a lot the Batman comic/first flick, gues everything is comming ful circle.

  • youre a dumbass.

  • People that didn't like this movie probably don't like puppies and ice cream as well.

  • Dont get me wrong and start "thumb downING" me but actually since the beginning "Harvey Dent" did became two-face the problem here was that they didn't catch the whole transformation of him well because they were time limited, and welI think Heaths is the best performance ever and and one of the best if not the best ever lived, but one thing you can say not to him but to the role was that the original joker is supposed to be white(literal) skinned not painted but well that wasnt his choice!

  • I'm not going to say this movie is less than amazing. I absolutely love it. But I feel that after seeing it plenty of times, the only scenes I want to skip ahead to are just the scenes involving the Joker. Without him, this movie would probably lose my interest in time. Heath Ledger did NOT gain so much credit for his role just because he died, but because he really is that FUCKING good. That cannot even be argued with.

  • i love the music in this movie.

  • He was right, if there was no Heath Ledger, it would have been pretty ordinary. Still good, but no where near as fantastic as to what The Joker made it.

  • Really, is there a better movei. NO!!

  • This movie is terribly overrated.

    And these scenestealers chaps just lost all credibility as film critics in my book.

    This movie is Grade A Hollywood garbage.

  • @degree7 Troll fail is troll. You neglect to give any real reasons to support your opinion. Sorry, try again.

    I'd honestly like to know what movies you HAVE been watching, if you thought this one was so terrible.

  • @chrisproxxx

    You knows there's a word limit to how much I can cram into these posts right, you focking belligerent prick?

  • @chrisproxxx ANYHOW

    Where can I begin, the wooden acting by Christian Bale, the ridiculous plot line and lack of logic, the melodrama, the utterly bland and tasteless cinematography.

    This movie is what 13 year old boys think of as great.

  • @degree7 No, Transformers and Wolverine were what 13 year olds though of as great. if you thought this movie was terrible, then you've obviously been watching nothing short of the greatest movies of all time for your entire life.

    All the reasons you gave for this movie being overrated were completely invalid and bullshit (except for the remark about Bale, which i can't disagree with; he's usually a decent actor, but this was up there with Public Enemies as one of his worse performances.

  • @chrisproxxx

    How can a man.... have half his face burnt off... no skin, just bone and tendons exposed to the air.... and somehow manage to survive, kill a mobster, and kidnap a cop's family all in one night?

    The movie has no direction, no logic, no flow, it's just a poor imitation of Batman, trying to ground him in the real world, but in doing so losing all of what made the comic books so unique.

  • @degree7 First of all, that didn't all happen in one night. Second, don't blame the movie for the illogical plot; it's a comic book adaptation. And if you wanna see a REALLY illogical plot, go watch Twilight or The Incredible Hulk.

  • @chrisproxxx

    Just because it's based on a comic book, doesn't mean it can get away with poor writing. And you can quit with that straw man argument of me having to go watch bad movies instead.

  • @chrisproxxx

    The Dark Knight is fucking overrated, because people have called it The Godfather of super hero movies. Is that even possible?? A movie where a man dresses up like a bat, being hailed as far up there with the fucking Godfather??

  • @LukeLovesRose Kid, Batman's been around far longer than The Godfather. How fucking stupid are you? By your standard, every good movie in history is overrated. Go be a dipshit somewhere else.

  • @chrisproxxx

    LOL. I know the history of Batman, the character and comic book. But, that doesn't make a story about a rich man dressing up like a giant bat is better than other stories. I mean, Hamlet? I bet you Batman fanatics think that Batman's story is better than Hamlet.

  • Rock fist WAY up

  • One guy said that Harvey Dent's transformation into TwoFace wasn't believable, yet you go with it b/c that's his character? Translation: accept the crap that's put b4 you!

  • these guys suck, its all about spill reviews!

  • overall yes a fantasic film.

    batman: played brilliantly the deep voice err well i perferd the cartoon batmans voice but thats obv since i grew up watching it

    the joker: amazing! amazing is underminding it tbh but iits the only good word i can think of and spell lol

    the only problem i had with the film is that the batcve wasten how i picture it tbh but other imense tbh

  • lets not lol

  • nice intro you guys must like heart of the sunshine to take from the guitar portion and then tweak pretty good though

  • It was nothing like the comic book and I didn't like the movie but I still respect your opinion.

  • Amazing Movie!!!!

  • if heath ledger wasn't on the screen, you were looking at your watch? then whats the point of loving the whole movie if all your going to do is praise heath ledgers joker??? it was a collected effort with all the characters that tied into the story making it what it is. if i saw the joker on the screen the whole time i'd fucking fall asleep. and the jokers always been an psychopath anarchist, it's kinda sad you realized it because of the DK joker. these guys are fucking loser. worst review ever.

  • so you hate the movie?

  • no, I don't hate the movie... obviously you didn't get anything i said. i like the movie alot, i'm just giving my opinions on how these guys don't know how to be good critics, just two regular guys blabbing away and not making any sense. they had no constructive criticism and they totally contradicted themselves a couple of times by saying that they loved to whole movie but they were yawning and looking at their watches whenever Ledger wasn't on screen.

    did you get all that, jr?

  • got it understand it and sorry though

  • Dude! It was the wrong choice of words okay? Jesus Christ Heath Ledgers Preformace is what made this movie even better all the preformaces where great and so was the movie! why do you have to have such an attitude with the guy who asked

    "so you hate the movie?" he was just asking calm down nobody tried to offend you stop taking this review so personally!

  • ...says the guy with all the exclamation marks in his comment.

    i didn't take anything personal. i just stated my opinions. you're just assuming i have a death wish like u. i state things boldly as an adult. u come across like an angry 9 yr old. if someone says that heath ledgers performance made the movie, then i disagree. if they say it made the movie BETTER, then that's using common sense and constructive reasoning skills. which obviously you don't have. I'm done with u. good luck with life.

  • Lol I came acroos as a 9 year old? becuase of exclamation marks?

    "these guys are fucking loser. worst review " yeah for a 15 year old using exclamation points is immature? then what about an adult saying that?

  • yeah, the exclamations mean you're emotionally involved, its a valid observation. children scream when their toy is taken away. in your case its the same situation. as far as the cussing, adults do that sometimes when they witness stupidity unfolding. annoyance sets in and then bad words ensue. ill make an exception with you though. sorry it was too much for you to handle, kiddo.

    now, guess what Im feeling...fuck off.

  • what they were saying in the review is that heath ledger had the best acting out of all of them, that he pretty much made the movie for most people.

    i do agree however that you were right in saying they were contradicting themselves by saying it was only good when heath ledger was on screen

  • i know what they were saying. i understood them very clearly, thanks. if you don't observe a movie in an objective point of view or with prejudices like these guys then ur so called "professional' criticism is ridiculously bias, naive & it means nothing. bluntly saying heath ledger had the best acting out of all the actors in the movie and that he pretty much made the movie is only a matter of opinion. nothing more. they should acknowledge all the elements & not overly praise just a single one.

  • i see what your saying and your absolutly right

  • I think the reviewer here is actually over-simplifying The Joker's motivations.

    The Joker doesn't just do destroy things to prove he can do it. He's someone with a philosophy and a world view that genuinely believes 'upsetting the established order' is justified, in order to let chaos reign supreme, since, as he says himself, chaos is fair. He's not just an anarchist, he's a politicised terrorist.

  • this and batman begins are different from any comic book movie before it. it actually made some sense and was much more realistic than something like spiderman. im not a superhero fan, but this is one of my favorite movies. heath ledger and everyone else (except for maggie gyllenhal) were phenominal.

  • i don't believe you

  • Yeah because when Batman & Joker were in the Jail cell & when Batman pushed Joker up against the wall you could see the camera crew

  • Eric Melin did you like this film the more you saw it becaues it placed at 3 on your top 10 of 08 list but in this review while u liked it it doesnt seem u liked it that much

  • The Dark Knight was a total reboot of superhero movies, it shows a totally new point of view to heroes and villains.

  • @Kotlettbengt It is actually a simply way of viewing heroes and villians

  • i cant wait to see the ridler

  • that the best person to be a villan

  • 10/10 ***** 100%

    BEST MOVIE EVER!

  • yeh it is good man. love it so much!!! :)

  • @XUrBaNhUnTaIx The Dark Knight is overrated in every comprehensible way. True Batman fans don't think this is the best Batman movie ever created. Only raving fanboys would say something that ignorant.

  • i dont care what anybody say BEST MOVIE EVR MADE!!!

  • you should rate the movie out of 10 instead of rock fists good review though...

  • The director of BATMAN BEGINS is Christopher Nolan.

    The director of THE DARK KNIGHT is Christopher Nolan.

    The same director and writer, you morons!

  • did i say they werent? i wanted them to rate out of 10...........

  • This movie is 8/8.5 out of 10. Looks good.

    A bit uneasy when the Joker around but yet wanting for more...

  • exactly! hes short fat, dumb and cheesy! exactly like the batman 89 one! morons.......[im sarcasticaly]

  • I wonder if Jack Nicholson saw this new Joker?

  • Of course he sawed the new joker.

  • No not really this Joker was dark and had a troubled past yet in Batman 1989 The Joker was enjoying life he was leader of a Mafia gang

  • these guys are the worst movie reviewers ever

  • so true

  • the joker is soo sexy hes so sexy he is sexy oh how sexy!!

  • perfect movie

  • joker is the only reason i saw this movie =] it was the best movie ever.ever

  • The movie is amazing but I think there is one thing that is kinda flawed. If I where the mayor and I knew that a psycho killer was targeting me and this killer has people everywhere and is always really smart and can pretty much do anything he wants. I am not going to give a speech in front of thousands of people out in the middle of the freakin streets. Now everybody is going to say "its because you dont want to look like your backing down" Bull shit! More chaos would start if you where killed.

  • Man, Heath Ledger acts fantastic in this movie... My tribute to him will be to make a joker costume in LBP!

  • god dammit i just want to wach the goddamn movie

  • Um Chris Nolan directed Begins too.

  • The next movie should have Harley Quinn. According to the story line. When she was working at Arkham assylum, she was helping the Joker escape. That could develop her character quite well! This would make the Joker an even more interesting character!

    R.I.P. Heath

  • I dig the opening sequence by the way. It's like Wayne's World, if Rufus from Excellent Adventure whisked off Wayne & Garth and gave them music lessons.

    About the critique of Two-Face's transformation not making sense; I disagree. It distracts from the realism of the film, but I think that was done on purpose. They had to do something to lighten the story, or audiences would have been having psychotic breakdowns from the intensity of the movie.

  • yea plus its batman. it isnt suppoused 2 b realistic and like you said if they were to portray Two-Face's injuries in an accurate manner it would be R and it would freak ppl out

  • I laughed as you guys went on to speak how the movie stayed with the comic book; It did the complete opposite. Yes, the actors were good, but the story was changed just for the film. Also, another thing, no one in my theater took batman seriously when he was talking like a drug addict that just got there tonsils removed. The way they ended the film was also disappointing; Joker is last seen hanging and batman runs off into the night instead of becoming the hero.

  • Comment removed

  • You should do the right thing for yourself, not for others' approval.

  • i know this is an oldish comment but i think they left out the jokers death scene because ledger died in real life, which i no is ridiculous considering this was his last complete role.

  • ???

    He wasn't meant to die at all.

    If he was meant to die then Batman would of let go of The Joker while he was falling.

    He was meant to be in the third one though.

  • i think when his dangling on the roof the swat comes and arrests him and sends him to arkham asylum

  • Look at my channel for a poll on the dark knight

  • Oh My God

    AMAZING FILM

    HEATH LEDGER IS AN AMAZING ACTOR AND MAKES THE FILM

  • nice orange head!

  • is there anyone who doesn't like this movie?(and has actually seen it?)

  • well, you sound like an idiot, so your comment will be ignored...besides, it was a rehtorical question anyway.

  • lmao, so true...so true.

  • A. How can it be above usual sumer blockbusters if you thought it was boring?

    B. Besides internet weirdos I have only found one person who liked this (that same person thought Catwoman was the best film of the decade, though). My friend, who hates all this comic book shite, came with me to see this. And now, he agrees with my that it's one of the best films.

  • I understand that it is just me who doesn't like this movie. I think I'm just extremely bias against action movies though.

  • Well its realy uncool that Heath Ledger past away, so he could never se how his amazing spotles performance has been resived by everyone, i mean the joker scenes in this movie i can watch them over and over again every one of them are perfect, i think Jack Nicholsen must feel realy bad about what he said of Ledger when he died. God if he was alive today they could keap making thrilling pictures like this one, but of cause Ledger was not the only one ho lost his life on this picture :( .

  • wow, the harvey two-face turn made no sense? were u watching the movie? and id like to know what other comic book film worked on the themes of what the dark knight worked on, can anyone tell me this? and the dark knight worked on more than just 1 theme. if u pay attention and stop looking at ur watch maybe u would understand why harvey turned! its pretty easy to get it!

  • movie = epic

    review = fail

  • They liked the movie... relax.

  • this movie was the best superhero movie I have ever seen. period. it is very realistic which makes it good.

  • hope it wouldn't end up lake the old movies

    changing directors and going from excellent to awful

    like this happened 1.The Batman - Tim Berton, 2. The Batman returns - Tim Berton, 3. Batman forever - Joel Schumacher,4. Batman and Robin - Joel Schumacher

  • it wont they changed tim because reurens didnt do as well dark kinght did better then begins and like hundreds of other movies

  • if chris nolan doesn't direct the next movie im not gonna watch it.

    I don't tihnk anyone could have really done wha he done to this franchise.

  • Well you gatta give a movie a chance dispite who the director is.

  • year and those names came up months ago when people caught in the hype were suggesting ledger-replacements and possible future villains... ...i say there is no film in the making and no villain-gossip, these are publicisers feeding on...nothing

  • why are people so convinced that there is a sequel, anyone paying attention should no that the studio expressed a vague interest, but wanted nolan, and nolan doesnt want to do it anymore hes poured everything into the dark knight..and as for the villain, my god...phillip seymour hoffman as penguin, johnny depp as riddler or joker...ive been following comments on this movie and everything on it since its was announced last

  • if they make another with the penguin, they are totally stupid. that was the dumbest villain i have ever seen in any movie period

  • AMEN!!! Ben Affleck perfect

  • it seems a dumbass wrote this above comment.

  • Amazing movie in IMAX! That was awesome.

  • Yah your comments ont he joker were right on it, hey chek out my joker impersonation and tell me what what u think

  • its august 15 mastapokerplaya and i havent seen any video from you. too bad i tought for a moment that you would do it but i guess i was right to question your so called great talent

  • I can't think of a possible vilain for the next movie. Since the batman is being hunted I can only think of another vigilante to try and bring him down.

  • Could it possibly be the Riddler... that Johnny Depp is being talked to about... seeing as how that was already announced?

  • *groan* No, it hasn't. That's just another rumour being floated around...no different than when Philip Seymour Hoffman was "announced" as The Penguin in The Dark Knight. Hell, a third Batman movie hasn't even been officially greenlighted by Warner Bros yet, and it probably won't be for AT LEAST another year.

  • Oh, there WILL be a third movie, though.

    You can count on that.

    With the MAJOR success of TDK, Warner Bros is not one to let it slip away.

  • Thr riddler is just a wanna be joker i would not mind Harley Quinn

  • Hello Scene Stealers thankyou for post and opinion!^_^ This movie was good that it made me draw a portait of the dark knight.lol.which is displayed on my youtube page..um..feel free to check it out..thanks again for the post and your time!Rock on!!and keep up the good work!

  • The guy on the left didn't quite get it. The themes were pretty different and the reason for two face's turn was obvious

  • I "got it," I just wasn't convinced enought by the character that the death of his to-be fiance and hated status as corrupt-cop jailer was enough to make him side with the joker that quickly. Still a great movie, even better the second time. -Eric

  • I agree that you need to see the movie twice in order for it to sink in. I disagree with your complaints but I understand where your coming from so this was a fair review of the film. but when you think about it FowlPrey12 was right about the themes being quite different from other comic book movies

  • He didn't side with the Joker, he just wanted revenge. He wasn't into anarchy or chaos, he was ready to shoot the Joker. He just left it up to chance. It was a great movie though

  • true

  • yeah "wild" like go crazy and jump of a bridge to clear their minds of all the crappy stuff you make.

  • you guys ever thought of doing a podcast?

  • sure have, glad u dig it. you can subscribe to this podcast on iTunes!

  • There is some truth in what you saying though I don't totally agree with you. Even though if Ledger had not died, I still think his performance would have been considered great. But on the other hand, the fact that he is dead does make his performance become even more so special.

  • well Mastapokerplaya never returned i see. Must have his head stuck in the sand somewhere or his mommy restricted his cpu time. But i really hope he's working on that video im looking foward to see how loser he is.

  • yeah.

    the Joker rules.

    complete chaos and anarchy.

    just the opposite of Batman.

  • I think Mastapokerplaya is a little lost in his head. im sure he havent watched the movie and he's making stupid comments on something he didnt see. and im still waiting for your video. countdown: 3 days have passed, still 27to go. now show me the great Mastapokerplaya can be the greatest actor of the world... and Beyoooond!! oh btw i never asked you this have you ever appeared in a movie? if yes which one?

  • are you seruiously saying that

  • If he were alive he would of been great 2. So Masta Pka playa dick hole how about the first scene where he tells about his scars. if you do better then him i'll belive youbut right now u just seem like a loud mout monkey sucker.

  • and if dont believe me when i say the joker had a mask go on my channel in my favorites and click on new joker pic? youll see.

  • yeah sure smart enough to not notice that the joker had a nurse mask in the hospital scene and also smart enought to realize they were evacuating the hospital and that the cop protecting harvey got killed. yeah youre pretty smart.

  • where did u see that i said that he was great because he died? i just said he was great as the joker so he deserves all the good comments. do u know how to read? if youre the greatest actor then you shouldnt have any problem making the video i asked you to do. Or maybe your too scared. That would be understandable cause you probly suck at pretty much evrything. I think youll be eating evrybody's shit cause you wont do it and if you ill probly piss my pants cause im sure it will be sooo funny.

  • I think you need to give the film another showing, my friend. Just to catch the parts that you may have missed.

  • Heath Ledger literally gave one of the best performances ever. The Joker is now forever my favorite movie villain.

  • im sure you would. and maybe evrybody will consider that ur a great person only after u die. but for now u look like something that would get out of my ass when i have a diahrea. Heath was great as the joker thats all. he deserve all the good comments and i gave you some lines earlier so practice them, do a video about it and put it on youtube. we'll see if you are that good and if you dont put any video in the next month and you probly wont youll proove to evrybody here you dont worth shit

  • well they had to evacuate the hospital the cop who was guarding harveys room and probably responsible to get him out got killed by the joker and the other cop who got killed helped a nurse carrying some patients out. if you would have look closer you would have seen the mask he was wearing before he shot the cop. I feel u didnt get some scene in the movie or maybe u didnt see it and making stupid comments on something u didnt see or you didnt understand the whole movie so either way ur dumb

  • MastaPokerPlaya, wanna know how i got these scars? My father, was a drinker and a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesnt like that. Not, one, bit. So.. Me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and he says: WHY SO SERIOUS? He comes at me with the knife: WHY SO SERIOUS? sticks the blade into my mouth: LETSS PUT A SSMILE ON THAT FACE! Aandd... Why so serious?

  • cmon dont be such a jackass. the joker had a mask hiding his mouth and nose. when i say nurse mask im not saying he had a woman mask to look like a nurse im talking about his little white mask nurses use to protect themselves from possible bacteria. man ur really dimwitted

  • what u would have liked to take his place? with all the panic the joker brang when he said he was going to blow an hospital help him to enter an hospital dressed as a nurse. and if you dont remember, one of the two cops guarding harvey dent room helped another hurse to carry out some patients so the joker had no problem to take one cop out. In all this panic a nurse mask and a wig were enough. Im also impressed u didnt use fag again. are u sure ur the real mastapokerplaya?

  • No, just people who cannot articulate.

  • Good review, I loved the movie

  • so you admit you are gay. And your bf has the same name as me?! wow! thats something. maybe i could meet him one day

  • MastaPokerPlaya: If you can't articulate yourself any better you will be blocked.

  • u have a very limited vocabulary so you either have the IQ of a vegetable or your like 10 years old and u learned a new word. Maybe u just like the word fag cause it reminds you good memories about you and your boyfriend

  • and so are you by answering this message.. I think the ones that makes the most mean jokes about gays are gay people who cant assume they are so thank you and dont bother to me anymore

  • Mastapokerplaya, how can his father be a fag he got a son and could he be able to have children if hes a fag also. let me explain something to you: you know sometimes when a man and a woman likes each other they do things ill call the bee on the flower. So the bee goes on the flower and ask her for a date she says yes. After the bee take a motel room to sting the flower a little,leaves before the sun rise and never call back. nine months later u have a child. a bee is not fag so why so serious?

  • gees u want me so badly dnt u... luk dnt get so aggressive whatever u want but im warning u a ain't puttin on no hellboy costume u freak... hey man u sed u wanted to fuck me in the ass right... ya well u kno wat that means... ur a fag

  • To each his own. At first I thought it was so popular just because Heath was dead, but after seeing it myself I got to say this movie spews excellence.

  • If that movie manifested itself into a human being, it would piss solid gold.

  • what??? now u wanna fuck me??? dude i dnt luk like hellboy man... sry to disappoint but im jst not into that... actually all this talk abt having sex with me is making me think ur kind of a fag...

  • And what the hell is wrong with gay people, you damn homophobe??

  • hmmm now ur comments r getting shorter but no less effective i mst say... quite a faggy thing to do actually...

  • oh ya man hellboy 2 was definetaly better. thats y the dark knight has been sold out in my theatre for days and had been making millions of dollars and has been liked by everyone except u.

  • touchy touchy. personal r v? don't worry luckily for you i dnt stoop to levels that low to feel better abt myself. u clearly are looking quite foolish and wish u never made any comment on this video. but its probably the only thing that uv ever sed that has even warranted a reply. i dont want to take away ur sense of achievement. i kno that its back to skool for u tomorrow. all those mean bullies picking on u i bet u cnt wait to get home n be a fag again as the MASTAPOKERPLAYA. ur such a badass.

  • Ummm... Get your head outta your ass! Heath pwns Jack! If he were still alive, jack would be hiding his face because he is so embarassed!

  • um, it's Heath ledger, not keath.

  • damn u got me there... how could i possibly stage a comeback after that wonderblow of a comment... if by in chance u do decide to get that head out ur ass ul notice that the majority of viewers disagree with ur opinion and therefore u r the fag by default... bummer huh... but i still think ur very very cool... ur coolness never ceases to amaze me and u are the king of all comebacks... and also ur a fag

  • youre amazingly funny lol this poka playa gus probibly 7

  • Alright, enough with your dyslexic speech pattern. It's obvious that you liked it. You just want to piss other people off because you want the attention; you're a loser in life and you should just kill yourself already.

  • or they just thought it was an awesome movie? which is was, get over it

  • HAHAHAHA you wish dude, jack got blown out of the water by heath

  • lol! I agree! *evil joker laugh* Now, I'm gonna make this pencil... Disappear!

  • lol that was the funniest part in the movie

    JOKER FTW!!!

  • and what do u like mastapokerplaya? and Ledger is not good because is dead it was because he gave a great performance. and u have the right to say nicholson was better and he was great but i think Heath ledger was scarier and crazier than nicholson. With Heath Ledger as the joker its makes u think that the joker could exist for real and its scary.
