    Great film, and that nurse scene was one of the most memorable in a movie that I can recall.

    The fact that it was all in one take was just incredible...real explosions, one shot to do it.

    insane number...

    screw Spidey 3, DK deserves this record, I didn't it was going to be that high, but looks like its going to be, I think it'll hit $160-170 range, if it wasn't for Imax, I would think more people would be seeing it this weekend, as oppose to waiting till the IMax theaters has another showing, which will probably not be till Monday. I'm curious how many IMax screens are there, in Houston there is just the Marquee as far as I know.

    There is one in Tomball, too. Houston is the only metro area in Texas with two of them.

    My gf just came back from a showing with her friends. All she had to say was "OH EM GEE" I dunno what the hell that means. Is that "OMG IT SUCKED!" or "OMG BALE WAS CUTE" or something else. She said it was creepy tho. That's all I got. I'll probably see it during the week or next weekend cus it's all sold out where I'm at.

    Just came home from watching it. I walked out of the theater speechless. The acting
    (Maggie Gylenhaal wasn't bad. She got better towards the end, especially her death scene
    , dialogue, directing, everything was 11/10. This very well could be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, movies I've seen (to be honest, I can't even think of a movie that could be better than TDK right now, I'm just in awe).

    The bar is set so high for #3 but I have no doubt that Nolan will exceed it. This film is the definition of epic.

    Do whatever the hell you want to do, but don't act like were all a bunch of mindless drones following the latest trend while you are above it all.

    what the hell...? those trailers in the other thread didn't impress me at all... must've been a hell of a poor selection..

    it can't possibly be this good.. if only someone had something bad to say about it.. I'm starting to get enthused about the film again.. this is terrible..



    it better be damn good.. :eek:

    It is "damn good." Easily the most "damn good" movie I can recall seeing. Now quit b****ing and go watch it.

    Some of you might remember the thread re: the impact The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring had on this forum. TDK is easily like that, if not better and more deserving.

    I am seeing it AGAIN tomorrow afternoon at the IMAX. Can't wait (again). I NEVER watch movies twice this close. Never. But I cant wait. I am more excited for tomorrow than I was originally.

    As soon as I was done basking in the awesomeness afterwards, my first thought was, "I have to come back and watch it again!"

    Bruce Wayne wanted what Harvey dent has, that is Rachel Dawes... Because of Bruce's Ego and wanting to take everything, the Joker sees that and took advantage of everything...

    I went to watch it at the Imax thinking it would be in 3D, but wasn't... The sound was kickass though...

    Great freaking movie....I can't say enough good things about it. But I'll say some.

    It's Empire Strikes Back

    The sequel that exceeds the original. It seemed to me Empire was the model here, frankly. The dark ending leaving you waiting for the 3rd movie. Very little hope. Somebody please tell me what to expect for the 3rd movie!! Who would be its villains? Any speculation?

    It's Die Hard

    Those of you who know how I feel about Die Hard know how reluctant I would be to say this. So it's super-high praise coming from me. I think Die Hard is the greatest action film of all time with no clear second. This movie reminds me of it in that the script is so tight and purposeful...the acting so believeable. When I left the theater after seeing Die Hard I remember feeling slightly disappointed because I thought I would never see a movie that good again....I felt the same way leaving this movie. And after both I couldn't wait to get back to see it again. Count me among those who will absolutely pay to see this movie a 2nd time.

    It's The Shining

    I can't think of another evil and twisted performance more riveting than Nicholson's in The Shining...until now. Ledger was beyond brilliant.

    Messianic Metaphor

    Yeah, I'm the Jesus freak who looks for this in film...but his decision to literally "take on the sins" of Dent at the end gave me goose bumps. I found that to be deeply powerful. This incorruptible soul struggling with what that means in the context of a very messy world. Wow.
