   This guy works for a major theater chain (does not say which for obvious reasons) and TDK has already sold more advance tickets then sm3/potc 2 & 3 did and it still has 9 days to go for his chain.
   
   I always knew it would do very well and make a big jump from BB, but I never anticipated a possible OW record which is what all this evidence is pointing towards. While I am still not expecting it, I will no longer be surprised if it happens.

   TDK will not make as much money as the "family friendly movies". Soccer mom dosen't want to take little johnny to see a scary clown. They will wait for happy robots in transformers, or the gay spiderman 4, or another cartoonish looking CGI hulk.

   I just hope the film can live up to all this hype. Batman Begins wasnt actually that good, granted it looked very nice and it even had Morgan Freeman in it but lets be honest, Christian Bale isnt a great actor, hes good enough I suppose but there are some lines in Batman Begins that make me cringe (the bit about his enemies sharing his dread as he throws a little metal bat logo at the wall, springs to mind). Liam Neeson as Ras Ah gul didnt really work for me, I thought he was weak, personally - and I havent even mentioned Katie Holmes (although it does look like even Nolan himself has acknowledged that). Dont get me wrong, I do enjoy watching the movie but to me it is more for the technical aspects and to some degree the plot (oh and I did enjoy Cillian Murphys portrayal of the Scarecrow but then he seems like he can actually act). From what I have seen in trailers, it does look like a similar line has been towed - make it look good, get a good actor for one of the supporting bad guys, have Morgan Freeman in it and let Christian Bale look cool but not act very well. Im not sure that the movie is going to send Christopher Nolan into any Godlike status (Tim Burton never achieved that and his Batman was a huge success in its day) but I know I will go to see this movie and probably have a good time, which hopefully after people have gone on about ticket sales and the like, is the point of cinema. Sorry if that all sounded negative, I am still looking forward to seeing the film next Friday.

   saw it at a trade screening--it is every bit as good as expected and then some--some lines to me fall flat [trying to be too clever insome; ridiculous dialogue in others] but in general the movie is great.

   The dark knight is a freaking awesome movie! Holy cow! The record breaking box office results and the raving reviews reflect this. This is not one of the best superhero movies of all time, because the Dark Knight is not a super hero. This is one of the best movies of all time!
