The Dark Knight: Tell Us What You Thought!

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 18, 2008

The Official Guide to The Dark Knight
Chances are that you, like me, are just getting home from seeing The Dark Knight at a midnight or 3 a.m. screening and you have come to the great halls of the interwebs to see what everyone is saying. And we want to know what you thought. But first, a few key steps must take place:

1. Change your pants. You are starting to stink.

2. Close your mouth. You are beginning to drool.

3. Sit there for a few moments, allow the size of the film to sink in. Also, you will need some processing time for what the last 45 min. of the film just did — if you don’t allow it time to process, your head may explode.

Alright, once you are done with all of that, I have two ways for you to express yourself. The first is our RejectNation Poll. Give us your grade for The Dark Knight below:



Also, we are very interested to get your review of the film. Please leave it in the “Sound Off” section below! Just be sure to keep it spoiler free — we wouldn’t want to ruin it for anyone else.

    Well,

    It was a great movie!

    I DO think that Nolan and Co. can create a third film that can top this one and I think that they will. I was surprised at the amount of humor that Joker had. I thought that he'd have more of a serious tone throughout the film. I was pleasantly surprised.

    I know that I'm in the minority here, but I do think that if they find the right actor...that the Joker could be re-cast for a third film. Ok...just take it easy on me for that last one.

    Anyone else think that Bale's Batman voice was a little forced at times?

    9/10

    It was everything I wanted it to be--they covered a TON Of ground and had plenty of awesome plot twists despite me trying to digest everything I could find on the net. I"ll definitely be seeing it again to see what I missed as well as to catch it in the imax.

    I think they can have a joker in the third film--javier bardem would be my pick. He has the voice and the ability. I did have some beefs with it though, but I'm not going to write it in a comment field :)

    I cannot remember the last time I was sad to see the credits roll. I'm still in awe, and cannot articulate my barrage of emotions...

    FUCK! A damn good film.
  • 1. No recasting The Joker. Sorry, team. It's a done deal. As much as you believe it can be done, it can't. You'll keep wondering who the impostor in the white make up is because you've already seen the REAL Joker. Recast the flouncy brunette that doesn't make an impact in the first film, sure, but there's just no way to gracefully replace a performance that hammered itself into the audience's mind like that.

    2. Has it crossed anyone else's mind that Nolan and company may have enough usable extra footage of The Joker to create a decent cameo in the next movie?

    3. No, I will not change my pants, my friend.
  • I wasn't going to see TDK in protest over the recasting of "the flouncy brunette" from the first film, but the IMAX gimmick has caused me to give in and go. I have IMAX tickets for Tuesday night, and you will get my thoughts then FSR.

    And to play it safe, I will not be wearing pants.

    hmm can't decide whether to post on /films forum or the one that fsr copied from /film......
  • @wbj

    Yes, because we definitely copied the "Go change your pants" thing from /Film...

    This film to me, was an example of Hollywood getting out of the way, forgetting the whole "let's appeal to everyone so we can make the most money" strategy and instead let the story and the incredible talent show what they can do. And after this film I say: Hollywood, everything you've screwed is forgiven. To call this film epic would be an insult, it transcends epic, it instills fear where fear has never been felt, the fear of our own nature to care about ourselves more than us all. It's political undertone (overtone?) drives the debate as to whether our hero is doing the right thing when he is saving the city. It moves the audience even further out of their comfort zone, the villain isn't cool, doesn't have good intentions and doesn't have a resonating reason for his wrongdoings, yet we still side with him in his logic and continuously desire his presence and most of all, he pushes us to our limits and forces us to find who we really are, the same way he pushes all the citizens of Gotham to their natural limits.
