Hey guys. Just wonderig what ou all thought of the BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR! As yo can probably tell, I loved it and believe it is one of those masterpieces that keep getting rarer and rarer these days.

So what did you think of it?

I saw it at the midnight showing the day it was released. I was forced to sit in the very front seat, but I don't care. It was totally worth it! The critics predict that the movie will break Titanic's record of $601 million very soon.

My favorite part of the movie:

"I will make this pencil disappear"

Easily THE ALL TIME BEST comic book villain on screen.

You don't know how badly I want to see this film. All my mates have said it was the best film ever (the first time ever they all agreed on something). I really want to see this movie!

It looks interesting, from what I see of it. I'd certainly go see it, if I had any free time when the theatres are open.

I saw it earlier and loved it.  Heath ledger's Joker was amazing.  It's a shame they'll have to replace ledger if they do more movies because I can't think of anyone else who could play the part like that.  It almost seemed like Joker got more screen time than Batman.

It was an excellent movie. I've seen it twice. Fair warning, though, its a disturbing movie with a lot of scary stuff in it (which is only appropriate, considering who the villain is). And yes, Ledger gave his best performance up to date. You couldn't even tell it was Ledger as the Joker. He was just the Joker.

That's what a fantastic actor is supposed to be. Not themselves, but the character they are trying to portray.

I saw this movie and to be honest I thought I wouldn't like this. I usually don't like too many of these super hero films. Ghost Rider and this film however were the only films I REALLY liked.

The Joker is my favorite character in this film. Ledger was FANTASTIC as the joker.

I really like these quotes here:

"Why so serious?"
"Let's put a smile on that face!"
"To them you're just a freak....like me!"

It is an excellent film, and Ledger deserves an oscar for his performance as the Joker. He's distrurbing, yet glamorous, in the sublime way that evil is glamorous. Evil disturbs us, disgusts us, and yet we cannot look away. Ledger's Joker is a terrorist, simply put, but one who is able to entrap and force his victims to make horrible choices.
Winner of these:

I saw it the day it premiered in theaters, but as I was leaving with my brother, and my two other friends, we were all commenting on how if they ever did make another Batman movie...they (being Hollywood) would NOT be able to find anyone to even MATCH Heath Ledger for a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG time to come.

But overall it was a fantastic movie and I'm buying it the day it comes out in stores.

As long as there's a Dark Knight thread, I feel I must provide links to the two videos EVERYONE must watch after they've seen the movie:
