oh ok now i see. its just that your very first post seemed to contradict what you were saying in later posts. but IMO TDK has got to change the way the acadamy looks at "comic-book" films. IMO TDK is more of a crime noir, its just that Batman is in it that its a comic book movie.

Sigh. You're saying that Ledger won't get a nomination because he's in a "genre" movie. And I brought up an instance in which a genre movie's actor was nominated for an Oscar and won. I thereby disproved your point.

work with me here...silence of the lambs had a.hopkins and j.foster...

it's more a thriller then a horror........does it make more sense if i call it horror/slasher then.......no one looks at slience of the lambs as a slasher movie that was made popular by teenages and young 20 year olds...like comic book movies and horror movies....my point...it's not dissing the genre..it's telling you how they see it.....and so far i'm right since these kind of movies that are more popular with the younger audience rarely see an oscar produce from them.. that's all i'm saying...get offended by it i can careless it's reality....i'm being real i'm not dissing anything

look i kinda agree with what your saying....but. TDK is more of a crime thriller than a "comicbook movie" in mine.....and a lot of peoples opinions. and if your talking about the class of actors i dont think there is many ensemble casts that could compare to TDKs. bale, ledger, oldman, caine, freeman that is one hell of a cast.

SOTL was not just a psychological thriller, but it is a horror movie as well, as it deals with some frightening subjects. Horror movies aren't just slasher and gore movies.

And... you aren't the Academy. So I really don't know how you can speak for them.

look it up, read up on stuff....maybe someone else words other then mine would make more sense to you
 
FINALLY saw TDK today, and it is simply stunning, a movie that truly lives up to the hype and by far the best CB movie ever made. I wont bother with a long review as I have nothing to add that hasnt been already said about this wonderful movie.

Ledger deserves an Oscar, but IMO so do Bale and Eckhart, as both were stunning, and Freeman, Gyllenhall, and again Oldman were all superb as well. Great performances, great story, the action was stepped up 10 notches let alone 1 (my Jaw LITERALLY hit the floor when the Tumbler smashed the garbage truck into the tunnel roof, and the batpod was :wow:), and the ending was just the perfect rap up.

My only worry is how will they top this with Batman 3, 10/10, Nolan is awesome.
 
^Glad you liked it. It really is a great movie and everytime I see the scene with Batman gliding down (the second time, when he goes into the building with the hostages) I get this big stupid grin. That camera shot is just awesome to me and then Batman closes his cape and goes inside. Just great!

That's great you mention the garbage truck because I think a scene that's not really discussed as much as the other great scenes is that whole police transport/joker truck/batpod chase scene. For a man not considered a great action director, he knocked that action out the park. That was some epic stuff.

spideram n2 was 5 times better then the first movie IMO. raimi tryed to top it but he failed on many levels.
maybe i am still shocked how good TDK was....BUT there is no way to top TDK. noooooooo way. of course he will try to make a good 3rd movie. but how can you even top the gotham story? everything in this besides batman,joker and harwey was great.
no way to top this.
 
So, I saw it for the second time last week, this time with my wife (she enjoyed it, but thought it too long). This gave me a chance to enjoy it a bit more, now that I wasn't so keyed up about it.
Man, it holds up well on second viewing. Bale was even better second time round - a subtle performance, but brings genuine warmth and humanity to Bruce Wayne, and a real savage quality to Batman (the Batvoice didn't grate as much second time round). The action sequences rock, especially the Batpod section. However, much as I love the ending, and don't mind Harvey's death (as someone said, in this franchise, Two-Face is the end of Harvey Dent, not the start of a new character) I still wonder whether Batman and Gordon lying to the people of Gotham is really the most honourbale long-term solution. I do love the idea of Batman taking the burden and deliberately become hated - he CAN endrue, and become the outcast, who will make the right choice.
I have never seen any movie three times in the cinema, too many other movies to watch, too many books to read, etc.
Think I'm gonna see TDK again this weekend.:yay:
 
It can be like the original star wars trilogy. I don't think Jedi was better than Empire, but I still think it was great.
 
Anyone lining up for Clone Wars? I hope it's not too awful...

Now, I liked ROTS quite a bit, myself. Also liked AOTC, but pretty much hate PM.

oh ok...i just came across it. you sure that's not how the original was? i remember the old one being just like that.
 
Okay, please forgive me my semantic shortcomings...I'm from germany and TDK doesn't start here before August 21, but I was just taking a holiday in sweden where I saw it
In short: Amazing
Heath Ledger defied every rule of screen-acting, you name it, he broke it:
Don't blink in close-ups? check
Never just act, but be it :Check
name any other rule, he broke it
It's not that his version of a psychopath is the most intense, he's among them but others have been as intense, but it's the uniqueness of it: It's unlike any acting I have ever seen...ivery often there's a discrepance between what he says and how he says it...the nervousness in his eyes while he did and said things that clearly established the fearlessness of the character but it never seemed disjointed it just felt...odd, out of this world,if you wanna draw a comparision the young Klaus kinski comes into mind, but even that isn't really fitting
If there's a criticism it's that you have to see the movie several times to be able to catch up all the subtleties, but can that really be a flaw? i don't think so...it was intense, dark, desperate, funny,fearful,fearless all at once
Quote from my girlfriend (who studied film) after the screening:
"So...that is probably the best peace of moviemaking I have ever seen..."
Just saying:brucebat:
