NO SPOILER, safe to read............
.. Yup... Saw it last night (this morning) at midnight. What's good about it was that it was all the die hards, so nobody was making a peep thoughout the whole movie. Not a single beep or ring, sneeze or cough. Just silence. The whole movie was 2 hours 32 minutes long. With previews it almost scratched three hours.
The Joker character was portrayed the way it was supposed to be. Demented, evil, brutal, funny, twisted, and ruthless. A knife throwing maniac that kills his own men for sport, or when he's done with them. Don't get me wrong, Jack Nicholson was awesome in the original, but let's be honest, he was too old, too big, and not an ounce of athleticism.
The cast was all star as we all know, and its safe to say that this will probably be one of the grandest box office hits EVER.
The movie was amazing, almost no special effects. Everything you saw was stunts, pyrotechics, and no CGI. (except Batty flying through the air.)
Maggie Gylenhaal was a 10x better cast than Holmes, and it shows.
The movie never ends, twists, surprises, tension, suspense, and loaded with action. Ledger makes the movie, plain and simple. Although the storyline fluff is necessary and not too draining, you always seem to anticipate when Leger will pop back on the screen.
Awesome, badass. I'll watch it again.
BTW, there is a shocking part of it where someone dies. No spoiler here, I woun't ruin it for you.
