The Dark Knight THE DARK KNIGHT crowd reports!

[Robin91939]

I absolutely HATE chase sequences. Like I always find them uninteresting and boring. Even the chase in Batman Begins which I thought was pretty good- I still can get bored during. I'm not really a car guy...maybe that's it- but the chase in The Dark Knight had me going- one of my favorite parts in the film and maybe because it didn't feel like "the obligatory car chase" and it actually had presence and reason in the story. And the ending where Gordon is re-revealed...is just--wow, great.

During my second time watching the Dark Knight, the audience cheered when they saw the Lamborghini that Bruce Wayne drove, and screamed when it was destroyed. Funny - because they didn't have as much reaction at the important parts.

nah, I went to the special screening & most seemed like the geekier type, everybody was laughing at every other sentence the Joker said but none gasped or cheered when anything cool happened. Strangely on my second viewing which was a lot quieter, people laughed when they first saw Two-Face, *******s.

The largest cheer came when Gordon revealed himself after the chase.

Not really. I saw the film about a week ago. The theater was packed, as it was the biggest in the city. Everyone was going to watch Tropic Thunder, and I went to The Dark Knight instead. The Dark Knight theater was only half full, and nobody really cheered.

Some people laughed whenever the Joker made an appearance (including laughing during the interrogation scene). That was pretty much the only time the audience reacted to anything. Some dude clapped at the end, but nobody really joined in.

As I was in the men's washroom after the film, there were a bunch of guys in their early 20's talking about Robin. They speculated Robin was Gordon's kid, 'cause he was his 'biggest fan'. Major LOLZ.

Okay, i went to the 11:00 showing of the Dark Knight on the night it came out. The line was humongous, so i just bought my tickets at a machine that lets you buy the tickets without having to go to the cashier. I bought the tickets an hour before the movie started. When we got back to the theater twenty minutes later, the lineup for the movie was still as big as it was. I bought myself a Dark Knight basket of goodies.

The lineup outside the room where the movie was playing was quite big, even bigger then the one i stood in when i went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Surprisingly, no one in the audience was wearing a Batman costume. Odd no?

Anyways, there was not an empty seat in the house when the previews started rolling. Now the movie i am most interested in seeing is Watchmen. Well when the movie started rolling, people became absolutely quiet. They started cheering when Batman first showed up. More applause when Gordon returned "from the dead." And they kept laughing and gasping at all the Joker parts. And i heard someone scream when we first saw Two Face and i was thinking "Wow! Now this is the best Harvey Dent/Two Face portrayal i have ever seen."

When the credits were rolling, and the dedication to Heath Ledger and the technician guy, everybody including myself clapped.

All in all, it was the best night i had ever spent at the movies.

GO DARK KNIGHT GO!
