I think The Dark Knight was going to be a hit either way. Ledger's part had already gotten a lot of hype. But I definitely think that his death provided a lot more buzz and pushed it from great summer movie to THE biggest summer movie ever. Especially with all of the rumors that this role made him depressed. I think not only does everyone want to see it because it looks awesome, but everyone wants to see it because they want to see Ledger's last role.

I'm seeing it tonight - They were sold out of the IMAX all weekend long so we decided to buy for Monday because seeing it on IMAX was imperative. I could've gone to the normal movie...but why? (: I'll let you know my further feelings on the matter tomorrow!

Okay...now let me know what you think. Everybody play nice!! --AJ

AJ,
While Heath Ledger's death did make some people curious, I think that most people were intrigued by his gloriously psychotic performances in the trailers for the movie. The movie is about Batman, but Joker (Ledger) is the character that really makes this movie shine.

You'll be glad that you finally saw it, tonight... it is unfortunate, but I think this was Heath Ledger's best performance, and that's saying something considering his previous works. It's awesome that you get to see it on IMAX!

And I am definitely a straight guy, but you can't deny that Christian Bale is hot, whether you're a guy or girl. I'm sure that had something to do with the interest in the movie, too... :D

Enjoy! --David

I pretty much want to marry Christian Bale after seeing it last night. Or at least Bruce Wayne, he had some sexy cars.

I definitely think the movie was over-hyped, though. I thought it was awesome, IMAX was amazing (kind of felt like I was sitting too close to the TV) but I didn't leave thinking it was the best movie EVARZ. It kind of stressed me out, ha.
