Has anyone seen this film? The hype around it is unbelievable and as I’ve not seen it yet I was hoping someone with some film knowledge could shed some light as to the true quality of this film. What makes me ask is the fact that within 2 days of its release it TOPPED?!?!?!?!? IMDB’s top250 charts, overtaking classics such as Shawshank and The Godfather, and with a fair few number of votes as well.

http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

I’m just wondering how many of these are just people going onto IMDB and rating it 10/10 just because they liked, rather than really properly thinking about and contemplating their reasoning for it.

I’ve seen this and thought it was quite a good film. I ain’t gonna lie to ya tho, some bits bored the fuck out of me and i felt that halfway through the plot went a bit mental and confusing. Probably didn’t help that i had drunk 5 pints beforehand and that the cinema we was in had no air conditioning. also that i went for a pee near the end and missed some important shit! :laugh_at:

I say go and see it mate but be warned it is a V long film so have a coffee before! :weee:

errr…. dont want to say anything about the story,

but I give it 7/10,
but Mr Tank gives it 9/10 (and he is the real graphic novel nerd, and I mean that!!)

he got stroppy with me and told me I am tired from night shifts and therefore not consentrating when I told him I was bored in bits :laugh_at:but there are some real good and funny bits too,

well worth seeing on the big screen

I prefered the first one, but heath is fantastic in it, but I am bit of a fan of him anyway :love:

Thanks for the info 😉

And not to be cynical but I don’t think anyone is really going to criticise heath ledgers acting when all things are considered. I don’t mean that in a bad way and nor do I think he’s a bad actor, I just think for a critic to openly come out and say they didn’t like his acting would then result in said critic recieving some abuse

Yeah man i’m with you. I think the Knight is a film that needs to be watched twice. I did prefer Batman Begins tho! 😉

I went and saw it last week, its pretty good 🙂 heath ledger steals the movie, bale is ok as batman but he sounds god awful and fake in the bat mask, its laughable. I duno for someone who wasnt that fussed about seeing it i thought it was 7.20 well spent.

Rreeeeaaaallllyyy want to see hellboy 2 when its out 🙂

Surely the whole point of his ‘raspy’ voice whilst in Batman mode is so people don’t recognise him as Bruce Wayne!?! 😉

I watched it at a drive in with lightening and rain and popcorn, it was awesome and comfy and perfect atmosphere for a batman movie… unfortunately the movie was sorta average… not really compelling
