Who saw it? What'd you think? I saw it in IMax and it is simply amazing. Heath Ledger played Joker flawlessly.

I haven't seen it yet. I haven't had time and I really don't go to the theater - It's been over a year since I've been as we just watch at home.

I'm still not sure if I'll wait for the Blu-ray release or just go see it at IMAX.

I plan on seeing it in imax ASAP. I avoided seeing it this weekend after reading how well it did.. I bet the theaters were uncomfortably packed. Can't wait though, ive only heard good things.

Guys,

We're already discussing this in another thread...unless you're talking about a different film?

EDIT: My thread is for those who already saw it and want to discuss it -- it does contain spoilers about the plot, so those of you who haven't yet seen it, don't go in there! I suppose that's why you started this thread...

I seen it twice but once was friday at 8am so it was not bad at all and than again yesterday at 11 which was pretty packed but we got there an hour early so we got good seats.. If you go during the week you should have no problem, but this upcoming weekend is looking to be just as crazy..

Oh and either way, its worth it. It is that good

Did you go to one of the Imax theaters or did you go to Cine Capri?

Bingo. I don't really want to know anything about it as I have been looking forward to seeing it the minute I finished seeing Batman Begins.

Gotcha -- yes, my thread is definitely for those who have officially seen it!

I have seen it twice at the Cine Capri as this movie deserves much better than a normal screen, I did make plans yesterday to go see it at the Imax but even on a monday and getting there an hour before it started, it was Sold out.. So we had to settle on a regular theatre

I would see it one more time in the Imax but I will have to wait a couple weeks I think. The Cine Capri is not as bad in regards to being sold out and packed

I saw it and was not impressed. I believe it lacked continuity, had poor character development and was not anywhere near as good as Batman Begins. And even though I don't particularly care for Katie Holmes, they should have kept her in the role of asst. DA as Maggie just didn't get it.

Although I value your opinion I think you are in the minority on this one..

I think this movie shined in all areas you thought it failed or left you unimpressed.. This is a rare movie especially for its genre, and to be this complete in soo many aspects is a rare thing..

Well of course it is just my opinion but the 4 others who went with me felt the same way.
