Movie Lovers?

Yeah... but it's still a really rough watch.

^Probably the best superhero movie evur. Heath Ledger is indescribably good.

The fact remains that without Heath Ledger the film would be mediocre at best--his performance saves what is actually not a phenomenal film.

Well name one super hero movie better than The Dark Knight. And if you say The Avengers, I'm going to smack you.

The Avengers was terrible. And the Dark Knight was quite a good movie. Just Heath ledger was the thing that made it so. Without him it would have been just all right.

[SuperFireKirby]

The Avengers was terrible.

SLOW, YOU HAVE JUST LEVELED UP. You now have a not-so-terrible taste in film!

And I do agree with you on the Ledger thing. I love every scene he's in to death, but for every non-Joker scene, I found myself pretty much just waiting for the next Joker scene. And after he was caught, I basically didn't even care what happened next.

Fun fact: The scene where Ledger is walking out of the hospital and it's blowing up was written so that he just walked out and onto the bus. Instead, he completely improvised turning around and the button not working.

[SuperFireKirby]

Yep, I knew dat.

A WAY MORE FUN FACT: The several different writers of the movie all had their own ideas of the Joker's motivation, character and backstory, but they decided NOT to discuss them with each other, and instead produced a script where different parts of the script are written with different character interpretations in mind, so that the Joker's actions seem genuinely disordered and unpredictable.

Seems legit.

   Those are both pretty awesome....

Just watched Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
I thought it was really cool!

Great Expectations is being made into a film starring a bunch of Harry Potter people--Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, and Ralph Fiennes are all in it!

Or, I should say, was made and were in it. Because this movie was released in the United Kingdom back in November. Why is there no US release date yet? It looks fantastic and I just read the book for school--actually going to take a class period and teach the class about it.

I just watched Argo with my dad.

I can definitely see why it got the Oscar.  It's excellent, strongly recommend.  If the R rating is tripping you up, it's pretty much only because of the language. 

The ending was so good....

[SuperFireKirby]

Yeah, Argo was pretty fantastic
