Poll question: What made 'The Dark Knight' totally rock?
Edited on Sat Oct-11-08 02:25 PM by Writer
:P

I'm listening to the soundtrack right now. I know there are a few out there who completely hated the movie, but I'm going to pretend you don't exist. ;)

3. Other: the fact that Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher weren't allowed anywhere near it
Honestly, I can't say for sure which of them did more harm.

4. Heath made a rehashed story interesting and relevant
Nolan deserves credit as well, but Heath was mindblowingly perfect and deserves the Oscar.

5. Everything!
One of the great American films. I've thought about it at least once a day.

7. I've heard some people say that Ledger's performance is overrated.
They are wrong. B-)

8. Heath Ledger
Without a doubt, no argument. He was frickin' amazing.

9. All of the above
Strong acting, provocative themes, brilliant cinematography, pacy editing, welcome flashes of humor-it was tremendous.
