All the theaters here have the movie sold out for the next 2 days. People have pre-bought tickets online and by phone.

Here too. I just tried twice to buy our tix online and it wouldn't accept it. Crap. Maybe we'll see Wanted instead.

Excellent movie. Heath made a great Joker. But you have to wipe your mind of the other Batman movies though cuz Dark Knight totally changed the Joker and 2-faced storyline.

DH & DD and I went last evening. Love our small town theater. No waiting and No on line tix available. We were three of about thirty people in the theater. Most other people prefer to go to the BIG Act III theater just 10 min drive away in the next town over. We like to support our local businesses so we went to the smaller one.

Dark Knight was a fantastic movie. I am the queen of the Cheesy Superhero Movies. This is the best Batman Film made to date. The acting was good the action sequences were wonderful and of course the good guys won. Did not care for the actress who played Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal). She just didn't carry that "torn between to lovers" act, off. Her performance was a little flat. Heath Ledger was superb. It was difficult to not think about this being the performance of his lifetime.
I give it five out of five stars.

Really enjoyed this movie and the time flew because it was so action packed.
Went to an 11:00 AM show at a multiplex where the first showing was at 9:00 AM and it's showing on multi screens starting every 30 minutes. Our showing was sold out, and by the time we came out the entire lobby was packed for upcoming shows.

I must say - this is one of the best movies I have ever seen - It should have many awards - the story was great, the picture was great, many great actors this time - Ledger was the best - but right behind him, batman, the DA, Morgan Freeman, and several others.... Great all around movie.... we'll probably go see it again -maybe at the drive-in (yep our area still has one)

Wow! Saw it in a packed / sold out theatre in Boston on Friday night. Amazing. Didn't care for Gyllanhall. Meh. But the role wasn't that much either. Ledger was amazing!
Can't wait to see it with konashark when he gets back from Afghanistan.

So, should someone see Batman Begins prior to seeing this film? Is it necessary? Or does this movie stand alone well? I'm still not sure I'm interested in seeing it yet. But I'm a movie lover, so when a film gets so many rave reviews I have to revisit my initial instinct.

It's best to see Batman Begins first but Dark Knight does stand on it's own.

I really enjoyed this movie, A LOT but I guess I am a minority of one when it comes to my opinions on the actors. I am not Maggie Gyllenhaal's biggest fan but I thought she was sooooo much better than Katie Holmes. I thought Heath did a good job but not a oh-my-god-that-was-amazing job. He held up his end in a movie FULL of good actors but that is it. LOL Will be disapointed if he is nominated for an oscar for this role. Love Aaron Eckhart and thought he did a great job but was disapointed with his personality *shift* (don't want to spoil), seemed too contrived. Definately like this and the last movie better than the previous three.

It's not worth me posting as Rissa said exactly what I wanted to say, particularly about Aaron Eckhart. Heath did a great job but I was expecting more because of the hype. He did put all of himself into the role though, that's for sure.

I thought that part was hysterical! I have to say I think Heath did an amazing job, and I went into it slightly skeptical. Aaron Eckhart was great, as usual, but I agree, Rissa, his transition was rather rough.

I also thought the special effects for 2-faced were awesome.

As much as they packed into this movie, and with as long as it ran, I think they may have sacrificed fleshing out Maggie Gyllenhaal's part. Her character was not as well rounded as the others.
