    Me too. I just think, how real can these fighting scenes get? Come on, its batman. He's knocking out droves of villains, why not have it be beautifully choreographed.

    That sucks man...I had a huge dr pepper next to me and I drank very carefully...

    as for the 1989 Batman, I rewatched it right before I saw the Dark Knight and it wasn't as good as I thought it was. It felt too comic booky and nowhere near as dark as Chris Nolans

    Tim Burton's Gotham was a lot more bleak, and Keaton's Batman was killing people left and right.

    That happened last week. The problem now is idiots who are voting down the Godfather and have pushed it under Shawshank Redemption.

    No. To you personally it is, but as far as general consensus amongst people who know movies, and I'm not talking about IMDB, the Godfather is way better.

    Also, that movie is still relatively new, it's way too soon to judge it when not much time has passed to see how it measures up.

    Am I the only person that absolutely hated Eckhart as Dent and epsecially 'two-face.' His 'two-face' was totally not believable and not nearly as intimidating as one would expect the character to be.

    You might be the only one. I haven't heard anyone say he was bad as Dent. As far as his Two-Face persona, it worked as far as what Nolan was trying to do. He made him more of a murderous vigilante(I believe he's portrayed this way in The Long Halloween which influenced The Dark Knight) than a straight-up bad guy.

    I thought the scene with Dent and Gordon's family at the end felt a little rushed, but it was still believable. It was miles better than the Eddie Brock/Venom subplot in Spider-Man 3.

    Understatement of the year. I love the Spider-Man movies..love that character...but they tried to fit way too much into Spidey 3...and missed the story of Venom almost entirely.

    I thought it was very good, and extremely well acted.....but....I also thought it was at least 30 minutes too long.

    I am not sure which is better to me, this one, or Batman Begins....gonna have to chew on it awhile.

    It lived up to the hype (especially on the IMAX screen). Ledger was amazing, characters were good, story was great.

    It was long, almost too long, but it was still unbelievable and the length didn't bother me.

    He throws some guy to his death in the bell tower. And he tells Joker that he's going to kill him. And he sets somebody on fire with the Batmobile in Batman Returns. Those are the Bat-kills that I can remember off the top of my head.

    He kills the Joker. He uses the remote-controlled Batmobile to bomb Axis Chemicals with a bunch of the Joker's thugs inside.

    In Batman Returns, don't forget the bomb he plants on a henchman before throwing him down the drain.

    Batman kills a lot of people in Burton's movies.
