I went to the midnight showing of "The Dark Knight" last night. Of course, I return with opinions.
The major opinion is: Go. See it. Now. Perhaps multiple times.
For a bit more detail, check this review. I agree in nearly every respect. And, since I am running on about 3 hours of sleep right now, they have said things much better than I can.
The most common complaint I've seen is about the length of the film. At about two-and-a-half hours, it is longer than most movies, and critics are calling for tighter editing. After seeing the film, I don't know what they would cut out. There is very little in this movie that is inefficient or even slightly unnecessary.
One thing I was a bit surprised by is the rating. After seeing the violence portrayed in the film, I think it is pushing the "PG-13" rating a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if a little more colorful language, or the smallest bit of sexuality would have pushed this into an "R" rating.
But, like I said, see the movie.

I plan on seeing it at some point in the very near future. However this weekend Ill be taking Thumper to go see Hellboy 2.
Here! Hear! I concur, Mr. Boomstick.
Particularly on the "go see it" and even the tiniest thing would push it to an 'R' rating.
Oh, and I hear that HellBoy 2 was dook. Hopefully a thoroughly Thumped Sky can refute said claim of dookage.
Anyone want to give me donations to pay for a kid's bike wreck hospital bills? I'm running a bit short on cash these days.
I might be able to scrap together $0.10-$0.20 for you, but the broke-ass college student in a bit short of funds at the moment.
Isn't the kid included on some measure of parental medical insurance?
I cant say anything about Hellboy2 as I didnt get to go see it. My babysitter got mysteriously ill and couldnt watch the kiddo for us to go see it.
