But no it doesn't deserve to be compared with the classics. Maybe only in sales and Ledger's performance is the only honest non-fan-boyish way should this movie be remembered.

Must get back to maintaining my blog properly... anyway: Hrafn: Yeah, the list is a bit weird. And indeed, the magic pencil trick was one of my favorite points. No pun intended. Tom: Yeah, I kept waiting for the "aha!" moment; it never arrived. Goviel: Agreed on all points. The Joker was my favorite aspect of the whole film, and I liked most of his segments, but other than that... *shrug* Uncannyman: I can't really comment on that, as I believe it's the only movie released in 2008 that I've seen. I'm not a big movie-goer. :) Dvergur: I actually liked the grittier, slightly-more-realistic aspect of the film.

The middle part was very slow paced and I didn't like the fact that it wasn't as much a superhero movie as the first ones. If I want to see another action movie I'll go see one of the many great action movies out there, I see superhero movies for the fantasy aspect.

The first time I got bad seats in the IMAX theater so I went back and saw it again. I enjoyed the introduction of the Joker and the climax of the movie, but that's 30 minutes of the entire 2 hour movie. When I got out of the movie I felt completely empty in the inside and wondered why I had seen the movie in the first place. I do think that the movie was over hyped and raised my expectations of the movie but I became disappointed after what I saw on the screen. Even though it was an entertaining movie to watch I also don't think that it should be up there on the list as compared to the other movies on the list. I did see the movie twice.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the movie deserves a lower placement on the lists. In fact I wasn't really impressed by anything in the film and was quite bored. Like you I kept waiting for something, however, for me that "something" was something that was supposed to make the movie good. Everyone kept saying how great it was and so I assumed there must be some tipping point at which the film just gets great, there wasn't. Ah well. Aye, happy birthday.

I loved the movie though; the magic pencil trick cracked me up. Happy birthday! :)
