Editor Reviews For The Dark Knight

Marc's rating for this movie: A+
If I had to pick one word to sum up The Dark Knight, it would be intense. This movie grabs you and does not let go for 2.5 hours. The Dark Knight delivers on so many levels that it makes me want to destroy all of the other Batman movies in my DVD collection (except Batman Begins). ..

This is an instant masterpiece. All of the performances are absolutely stellar and if this does not WIN best picture of the year............ This movie was what I expected it to be and also surpassed what I wanted. I give it.... 10/5 yes , you are reading that right. 5 is not enough for this film. (close)

	Glad to hear a good stellar review about it Obiwan! It definitely confirms my plans to see it soon, but I'll be more like Binkley and wait a few weeks for the crowds to subside, I need a little bit of elbow room when I'm watching a movie. :wink:

	I had to go back and see it again today because I missed 15 minutes of the film yesterday while I argued with management about a blown speaker. They refused to fix the problem and dialogue last night was only coming from the right side of the screen. I felt like I was deaf in my left ear. And they knew about it before they put us in there. That is a story for another day. Anyway,... (more) I had to go back and see it again today because I missed 15 minutes of the film yesterday while I argued with management about a blown speaker.

The best of it being best picture of the year. It is an epic film. (close)

	I'm extremely glad to have seen this! It was great! Heath Ledger was a natural Joker. He was funny but you know you wouldn't want to mess with him.

He said it was one of the astounding films that didn't use too much CGI. We have been seeing too much lately. Can someone, by the way, clarify what happened to Lucius Fox in the end? PM me if it's going to be a spoiler for many please. (close)

	Deleted scenes I can understand if there aren't any, but it's a huge oversight IMO to not have commentary with it. My 2-disc version of Batman Begins doesn't have commentary with it, which really stinks. I wonder if Nolan has ever given any reasoning for not having commentary on this one, and maybe he can rectify it with The Dark Knight. Heck, even George Lucas has laid down commentary with Star...

	Powerful acting, powerful action, huge IMAX sequences give this Batman a great big commanding feel. However, story is held hostage to action, especially in the second half.

	This isn't my own opinion - just so you don't all jump on me :yuck-orange: because I'm looking forward to seeing this myself. But I'm an adult so what's the opinion of those of you who've seen it as to whether it is suitable for children or not? Big debate going on here in the UK, the bulk of which is that the Board of Censors got it very wrong by not awarding it a 15 or 16...

Big debate going on here in the UK, the bulk of which is that the Board of Censors got it very wrong by not awarding it a 15 or 16 Certificate - instead awarding it a family-friendly 12A Certificate. Sounds decidedly too blood-thirsty for a child of 12 to be watching it! Yeh, we know a lot will get to see it on DVD, but I think that a lot of parents who take their kids along to the new Batman movie might be a bit uncomfortable with all that horror assaulting their kid's heads :frown: (close)

	I think it should be ok. The beginning sequence is the worst of it for the film. The only thing in the movie that might get a child that age is the look of Two-face. It is pretty grusome. And he does probably have about 7-10 minutes of actual screen time. What the Joker does is sometimes shocking but you never actually see anything. The camera might be off to the side and such.

	I'm actually a little surprised that it didn't get an 'R' rating. I guess being a big-budget studio franchise film will help get things past the ratings board easier. The film is [i]very[/i] intense. An excellent followup. A wee bit long, but it can be forgiven.

	Best! Heath is perfect as joker. It was the last but t'was the best :)

Step Brothers movie review

Some people may think Ferrell is just up to his old schtick, which I can see what they mean, but I love it. He was in his element with this movie, and it was much better than some of his other roles as of late.
