Well I’m going to have to comment on this one. I am one of the very few who choose not to see the film. 1-because of my terrible phobia of clowns and jokers and 2-because I think these movies are just sick. The things that they do in them is usually pretty realistic and in my opinion I think its giving all those creeps out there ideas. Now I’m not saying you should see it or not, but I just think a show that was so sick and demented that it drove a guy crazy enough to kill himself is enough to make me not want to see it. Just my opinion.

Maggie G’s acting was good, but honestly (and this is going to sound really shallow) her ungoodlookingness was really distracting. Don’t get me wrong, Katie Holmes was an unequivocal disaster in Batman Begins, but Maggie G was not believable as the love interest of two of the most prominent figures in Gotham. Sorry, Mags. I didn’t need Angie Jolie, I just needed someone attractive enough that I didn’t have to think about how she looked.

Count me as one who wasn’t enthralled with the increased violence of this film. I get that’s how it is with a sinkhole like the Joker. I didn’t hate the movie, but I left the theater thinking to myself, “I wish they hadn’t tried so hard to make this such a gritty movie.”

I’m also glad they killed off Two Face, because he was a very shallow villian compared to the Joker and that would be a lame follow-up conflict after what we just witnessed.

My question for this franchise is, “What’s next?” What can they do more? I think they might have hit the ceiling with this one because it was such a full-throttle production. No villian will be remotely interesting now that we’ve seen Ledger’s Joker, and they can’t bring him back even though technically the character is still alive. They’ll try to make another movie, but prepared to be disappointed by it.

I couldn’t agree more about Katie holmes being cut. and i couldn’t agree more about The Charachter played by her and Maggie being killed off. OH and the reason I loved this movies is that people can finally see the more complex nature of comic books (and hence why they appeal to older audiences) and because people will start to see why i knwo that BATMAN is the best super hero. (aside from Jon who aparenlty will never understand).

I think my favorite part about Maggie Gyllenhall’s performance was the part where her character died. Cruel, I know, but seriously, anytime there’s a chick out there that knows your secret identity, you are a hero in peril.
