Post them here!

It seemed like everyone and their teenage brother was at the Olathe IMAX last night. I got stuck in the front row but it didn't matter. The movie was freakin' epic. Can't say I liked it better than Batman Begins, but all the action sequences were mind-bending and the Joker was, well...words don't do him justice. You just gotta see it.

My hands-down favorite parts? The pencil-hiding scene, the opening IMAX bank heist and the SWAT car chase.

Sarah! Totally better than Batman Begins! Are you freakin' kidding? The biggest selling point: No Katie Holmes.

Idk, Batman Begins was the better movie, by far. Best character to come from the two? The Joker. My one-word description: demonic. But it definitely wasn't an Oscar-nomination worthy role. Ledger did a good job though.

Overall, I think it was a good movie, but it tried to do too much, and suffered in meaning because of it. Although I do agree with Laurie, no Katie Holmes is good thing.

You sir, are an insane person.

Also, this was far superior to Batman Begins -- which was thematically heavy-handed and action-scene challenged.

As a Star Wars buff and true fan of the trilogy format I must say the Dark Knight blew me away. I can give or take Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne or his over the top Batman GROWLY voice but with the brilliant performance from Gary Oldman and Heath Ledger this movie shoots immediately into my top 10 list upon first watch. Ledger was down right awesome. Where as once again Gary Oldman was brilliant as usual.

batman was amazing.. from the begining to the end, pure gold. The Joker was mind blowing. the only complaints that i have were minor, 1. i didnt like his growly voice, too.. 2. try as she may.. maggie gylenhall(?) is not sexy. and 3. SPOILER- the fate of a certain hero/villian i was hopeing would be in part 3.. maybe. other than that. that movie was brilliant. pacing, acting, writting all superb. and what about that watchman trailer..

Say what you want FRINKS, but I think Maggie Gyllenhall is quite attractive. She has naturally beauty and doesn't come off slutty like most Hollywood actors. Sorry but it had to be said.

I loved it and would give it more than 5 stars if possible.

My only complaint is that it is too long. It could have easily been only 2 hours or so. They should have "saved" the Two-Face stuff for #3.

Basically find another way for the Joker to get some prisoners, and then end the movie with Dent asking Gordon what they used to call him. Gordon saying "Two-Face" and then Dent rolling over and fade to black.

Loved it. (Top Grossing Opening Day Weekend movie of all time, according to current stats). Well Deserved praise and hype.

Nominate Ledger (Best Supporting Role)!

Where will they take it from here?

Yeah, after awhile I got really tired of that. All I could think while Batman was muttering deeply to someone was that person should be looking back at him, confused and saying loudly: "What? Are you talking to me? I totally can't hear you... could you speak up at all? See, it's really bad for your thoat to be growling like that, you know what happened to that guy from Korn, don't you?"

To shreds you say?
