It is a v. good film, indeed, and a great leap of gravity for the “comic book” film genre – I hope that “The Watchmen” release of next year benefits from this.

That the story can inspire real-word interpretations – rightly or wrongly – only attests to the power of the film. There unfortunately remain far too many poor film releases each year, but a film such as this one renews my faith that the Industry actually can create art, still.

With these comparisons to Bush and terrorists it makes me extremely happy that our incompetent government isn’t taking on the Joker or we’d all be in some serious trouble.

Andrew, it’s Bush’s world view – that terrorism can’t be coddled, that Al Qaeda types are beyond diplomacy. That even if stirring the hornets’ next causes some backlash – and more innocent casualties initially – it’s better than letting terrorists rule the day.

“I’m with you, here. I have a guess about this flick: it’ll be a favorite among right-leaning film geeks. I didn’t necessairly interpret it as political but if it was then it was the biggest Bush ad since 24’s fourth season!”

Huh? Did you even watch the movie?

Did you notice Batman is um, what’s the word, competent? It’s got nothing to do with Bush, for sure.

kudos to the makers Dark Knight for their record breaking opening weekend… it’s no wonder there’s talk of another one coming out ASAP

[...] “The Dark Knight” didn’t just score big time in the U.S. The film’s international debut nearly tripled the box office returns from “Batman Begins,” according to Warner Bros. [...]

The worst thing I can say about a movie is that I forget all about it minutes after leaving the theater.

The best? When I can’t stop thinking or talking about it. “The Dark Knight” fell hard into that category, John.

my wife and i watched this movie this afternoon and went to dinner afterwards and we have never discussed a movie afterwards as much as we did with Dark Knight. There was plenty to discuss and rehash and to put it mildly we both thought it was great. Entertaining and thought provoking.

Linda, Isn’t it a blast to see a film like this? One filled with sophisticated surprises and brilliant actors at literally every turn? I can’t wait to see it again …

You hit the nail on the head, calling this film smart. The good vs evil dynamic, the underdeveloped love story, the maniacal villain, it all worked. One of the few films I’ll be happy to see again!
