More money in the pockets of the anti-American, pro-socialism establishment! Sigh!

Ben Jr. went to see “Dark Knight”.

Based on his report Mrs. Lurkin and I decided we will not go to see it. And despite her hints of interest - I'm confident we won't see “Mamma Mia” either!

gotta adjust these numbers for inflation, at the least..aside from raw dollars, this is nearly meaningless info aside from the fact the 8$ tickets are helping theaters and studios.

I've heard universal acclaim from folks I know who've seen it. As a bonus, it sounds like its political agenda is slightly right, if anything.

I'll probably check out a matinee this week, when there will hopefully be fewer ankle biters in the theater.

Man, I can’t wait to see this movie. All the showings were all sold out, so I’ll probably catch it when demand dies down a little. I have heard that this is not only the greatest superhero movie ever made, but one of the greatest overall movies as well. I’d never thought this would out-do Batman Begins, but I heard it did.

I wouldn't mind seeing it "The Dark Knight" but for the green indoctrination before the movie starts.

Steven Greydanus at Decentfilms.com liked it a LOT. If the upcoming, potentially-catastrophic, week is reasonably successful, maybe my two oldest (17 and 14) can see it on Friday.

My wife and I went to see it today and it was a pretty good movie. What was interesting was that you could a LOT of parallels between the movie and the war on terror and this may seem weird, but the analogies you can draw between Batman and GW Bush are striking.

Gary Oldman is at his best when he takes an understated role like (soon to be) Commissioner Gordon. Nevertheless, his best role was his rather outlandish performance in “The Professional.”

The best news is that nobody is going to see “Hancock” anymore. The sooner the world is rid of Will Smith, the better (although I wish him a happy and lucrative retirement).

My wife and I saw it Friday night, and if you’re a hardcore Batman fan (like me) then you will enjoy it. BUT, it is a rough movie to watch and should have been rated R. It is NOT a kids movie, but a deep, troubling exploration of human morality.

But I thought no one had any money with gas prices and food prices so high?

I give The Dark Knight 5 stars.

Heath Ledger is brilliant, the film is exciting, dark, action packed, has a fanstastic story and brilliant character development. It transends the super hero movie template and speaks to morality, justice and what it means to be a hero.

The director captured the essence of what Batman is.

There may well be a sequel, but it is not needed in this case, the story has been told.
