I braved the crowds for opening weekend of "Dark Knight". It was a risky move for me as I despise having PEOPLE in the theater but I felt strongly I needed to see the movie ASAP. I was glad I risked it. Be warned, the movie is extra long - I think it was like 152 minutes. I knew this beforehand so chose a seat near the door for quick 'n easy bathroom exit. Also, I chose well with a buffer seat in between a large group and the end of the row, so less liklihood of somebody wanting to squeeze in next to me. Thankfully there were no obnoxious teenagers nearby.
The theater was quite full for a noon show on Sunday!
LOVED the movie, even the length didnt bother me. I peeked once to see the time, but only to see if I needed to exit for the bathroom or not. The story is very interesting! The Joker role was, as we have all heard, memorable. Heath Ledger really did do an outstanding job. I always knew it was Jack in the 1st movie, but this one, I only thought of him as the Joker, not Heath Ledger playing the Joker. The whole Harvey Dent thing was also quite memorable!!! There should be some awards for costuming and makeup for this flick.
The ending was good as it didnt leave an obvious opening for another. One thing I missed though was I wanted to hear the Joker say, "Where does he get all those great toys?" (or something along those lines) and he didnt. I thought they could have at least thrown it in there.
Overall, GREAT. Go see it!!

I fully intended on seeing this movie today. However, I have 2 other folks who I know are interested in seeing it with me. So.. it is with some reluctance that I went, instead, to see WALL*E.
I cannot recommend that movie highly enough. It's great for people of all ages. Even the kids in the theater were unusually well-behaved throughout the 1 1/2 hours that it ran! :)
My sister-in-law gave wall-e very high praise as well! I did almost go see it. I hope to yet. Sounds like it is a winner.
I saw the Dark Knight twice over the weekend. On friday and saturday.
Man. Just awesome. Ledger's Joker was amazing. Horrifying, insane, funny but in a disturbing way. Everything you want from The Joker.
Twice! Cripes man. The more I think about it, the more I think I enjoyed it. You're right, that Joker is horrifying. What a role! Was all of it Heath Ledger's take on him, or was he directed to go this way? Crazy.
