"It isn't an overstatement to call The Dark Knight the most sophisticated and ambitious work of its kind."
"The Dark Knight qualifies as the first official comic book adaptation that truly succeeds in being a great artistic achievement in its own right."
"there's Ledger, whose performance I suspect will be the subject of many analyses of all sorts in the weeks and months to come. What he does with The Joker is, quite frankly, nothing short of transcendent."
"I still haven't seen a film that blew me away... that is until last night. Warner Bros. Pictures' THE DARK KNIGHT is not only the best film I have seen this year, but quite possibly the best superhero movie ever made. "
"If DARK KNIGHT gets anything less than an Oscar nomination it would be a great injustice to the world of cinema."
"The acting is only part of the reason KNIGHT is so fabulous, Nolan has taken Batman to new heights."
"Heads up: a thunderbolt is about to rip into the blanket of bland we call summer movies. The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan's absolute stunner of a follow-up to 2005's Batman Begins, is a potent provocation decked out as a comic-book movie."
"The haunting and visionary Dark Knight soars on the wings of untamed imagination. It's full of surprises you don't see coming. And just try to get it out of your dreams. "
I hope it really is that good usually when critics lay it on thick like that it turns me off. I remember reading how amazing Iron Man was and it never seemed quite as amazing to me as it did to the critics, though it was good if you get my drift. I am eager though. I know the Dark Knight will be good.

This will only the second time that I believe in what critics say. I've said it numerous times that The Dark Knight will be THE BEST COMIC BOOK ADAPTATION EVER. I believe that , truly. As a matter of fact, I will say that The Dark Knight has an excellent chance of breaking a certain box office record.
It could break records, it has an unbelievable amount of hype right now. Only problem I see, is that it is very dark compared to most big summer blockbusters, they could come up short if kids dont go.
People I have talked see no problem about TDK being dark. It should be dark. Batman is a dark character. As for kids. They will this and come out in droves. I'm talking my 10 year old nephew opening night.
Same guy. Smith is also a huge comic book fan and buddy of Stan Lee. Its pretty cool that a close buddy of Stan Lee's would say that a DC movie is a near masterpiece.

Yeh he was hired by Warner Bros to do a Superman script at one point with Tim Burton at the helm but once Burton was on board he got rid of Smith. As a consequence of this Kevin has always made fun of Burton and his Batman movies but its kind of strange as he kind of respects at the same time cause on the 2 disc special edition of of the Batman 89 DVD he comments on the first Batman movie in a positive manner saying "and this is the Batman Tim Burton gave us in 1989" referring to of course how Burton took infulance from the Frank Miller comics that came out earlier in the 80s in particular, The Dark Knight Returns.

Just to let you guys now, any reviews with spoilers will be removed and edited. There is been a ton of spoilers going out at this time and the movie is only a week away. Be careful with the reviews you may post. Whether it's yours or a critic use it properly.
BB was such an amazing surprise ( I remember not believing WD when he kept telling us how good it was going to be)... and now comes The Dark Knght, The early reviews only help to further fuel the hype, and so far, I'm confident the hype it's well deserved...
I fear for Heath Ledger's performance though, not because it won't be great, but because some would say it would be praised out of homage for the actor, and not because of the quality of his interpretation.
....
The sequence when Batman chases the Joker in the Batpod... amazing.... I want a Batpod
