    The Dark Knight (2008)

    I think nearly every film as little "holes" or logic lapses and I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a perfect or flawless film (even if Ebert did call No Country for Old Men flawless). In my opinion, this alone does not mean that the film does not "qualify" for greatness. For...

    The Dark Knight (2008)

    I can't comment on the IMAX mix, but the two times I saw it there was no problem with the epilogue. Gordon's dialog was clear and intelligible without any added listening effort. This was at two different theater chains. One showing was in a theater known for its sound (it was a large Dolby...

    I tend to agree with this, but his control is not always perfect. Still he would've killed the Joker if he wasn't able to maintain control.

    OK, working through the thread and reading the comments and the discussion regarding heart...Chuck, I think you sum it up well. To me this film has much more emotional depth than Begins (which I love), but it includes both highs and lows. I too found the film hopeful and really connected with...

    Wow, by the time I get to post on the day it opens the thread is already 6 pages long... I thought it was great. It is hard for me to say that it lives up to the hype+reviews+buzz. To do so it would have to be THE GREATEST FREAKIN' MOVIE EVER. And I'm definitely not going to go that...
