The one thing I didn't like and thought wasn't done well and at times was a little confusing:


One thing that I thought was cool (and this is a REAL spoiler, so I REALLY recommend you don't read it unless you've seen the film):

And, just in case you're curious, the theater was about half-full at 9:15 AM.

My gut tells me this will the the highest-grossing weekend to date.

I'm seeing it again at 4pm this afternoon at the Arclight here (the best public theater in California), because when I saw the screening a few days ago, there were no trailers.

There was a trailer for Watchmen. Interesting, but as a fanboy it doesn't have me foaming at the mouth like I was for Batman.

Yup. It was very well done.

This has been one of the busiest days I have ever had at work, and one of the slowest at the same time.

2 and a half more hours of work.

Still thinking about it. F'n awesome.

BTW, there were a bunch of 6-8 year olds there with their parents. I don't know what those parents were thinking. A) Those kids are not going to sleep well all week and B) the movie was more than 2.5 hours.

I am going to see this tomorrow. Can't decide if I should see this at the IMAX or at the Cine Capri2 (which I think is all digital)?

AMAZING!

Ledger was awesome. Nailed the part.

First time i've been to a movie this year where the crowd applauded at the end of the movie.

I give this movie an A!

Might have to see it again this weekend.

A very good film, one of the best of the year. Very dark and not just for show. Ledger's character...brilliant (but for a different reason than Jack--someone nailed it--they can't be judged against one another). The comparisons of heroes and that entire line was quite good too. My main beef with the film is that it was too long and that they tried to do too much, which took away from how good it was, and took away from the enjoyability factor. I liked it a lot, but I didn't love it, and I'm not frothing at the mouth about it. In Bruges is a LOT better a movie, and it's one that's rather dark as well. Excellent film and one of the best comic book movies. I bet Ledger does win an Oscar, and he should, even without the hype about his death. Still, this is NOT anywhere NEAR the top 10 ever. Not even close. That talk is simply laughable.
