Video got instantly demonitized when it went live :(. One of the longest edits and most popular videos… this is why a lot of reactors have a Patreon, so they can afford to work with editors regardless if there is RUclips income or not. Since I’m not even at home now I can’t take out the claimed part. If you want to see the full reactions and also support this channel, this is my Patreon link www.patreon.com/m/movieswithmary . I usually keep this out of the comments but this just feels so so bad 🥺
So sorry to hear this Mary.
Don't worry, plenty of us will still be here for you.
That’s ok Mary :)
oh bummer I didnt even consider you wouldn't be able to re-edit the videos. Sorry Mary!
Batman The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie ever made.
I can't believe they demonetized this. Nobody's watching this who didn't watch the movie in the first place. I own all three movies on Blue Ray.
There is absolutely amazing script writing and acting in this movie. Heath Ledger won the Academy Award for best sporting actor. Unfortunately, it was posthumous.
“And another twist and another twist” exactly. In a modern movies world where twists are so common people are starting to guess them, they managed to give a villain that had so little direction and motive toward anything that you truly could not guess what his next move was. Not to mention Ledger sold it perfectly.
Multiple twists is classic Nolan.
Joker is not a villain without direction in this movie. Every action was deliberate, despite him saying that he's just a dog chasing a car. Even in that speech when it came to him giving Harvey the choice to kill him or not, it wasn't a choice. Because even if Harvey chose to kill him, the jokers hand was on the hammer.
Joker's entire scheme was to show batman that humans are innately selfish an immoral, which he was able to predict every action prior to the ferries.
@@joeldykman7591 who are you so wise in the ways of Batman? But that’s actually a solid point, I never even noticed the hammer before you mentioned it. While his actions were deliberate I think he consistently changed course, like adapting to Coleman going to the media
@@kylefritz1042 The way I looked at it is that he was carrying out random criminal schemes for their own sake (whereas most terrorists would see them as a means to an end) but the schemes themselves were well thought out.
@@Quirderph “I think you and I are destined to do this forever” -Joker That also makes a lot of sense, I’m starting to think Nolan left a lot of Joker up to our interpretation. Whether on purpose or not, he had a minimal amount of screen time yet is the most discussed villain in the whole trilogy
I remember sitting in the theatre watching this and thinking about halfway through, "This is the best comic book movie ever". Then as it got into the final act thinking "This is one of the best movies ever made."
I know it's great, but there are many great movies that I bet a lot of people haven't seen. In fact there are probably many great movies "I" haven't seen. I should go and see some more of them. We all should.
@@highstimulation2497 u think ppl will take u seriously? Get a life
@@lazybum9732 what do you mean "get a life" .. they stated an opinion and i don't think they're wrong. No reason to be that rude
@@lazybum9732 what he said was absolutely true. I don't know why you got offended by that
@@samindumadusanka3149 lmao... Huh?? U dumb?
You were totally right about bats using sonar. When Bruce said "just like a..." and Lucius said "submarine", that was a joke. (Subs do use sonar of course, but Bruce was clearly gonna say "a bat".)
IIRC, there's even some blind people who have learned to use a limited form of echolocation.
Also eluding to the fact that he isn’t supposed to know that Bruce is Batman, but they both know that he is aware of his cape crusading adventurers
@@michaelccozens really?? far out
@@michaelccozens Are there really, or was that just in The Blacklist?
This movie (this trilogy) is so incredible! and Heath Ledger is just unbelievable!
Without question the actors and director nailed this movie. Ledger was the obvious standout but without everyone else bringing their A game, it would not have been as shockingly good.
But lets also tip out hat to Christopher Nolan's younger brother Jonathan Nolan for writing such an epic screen play. If you watch Jonathan's own TV show Person of Interest, an obvious rip of the Batman story... The Nolan family has some real talent at telling a great stories.
Once I realized what was up with The Machine midway thru Season 1, I was hooked on Person of Interest. But I'm not sure how you find parallels to Batman there besides the vigilante activities of Harold and Reece. Such a good show.
@@michaelgonzalez6295 Eccentric billionaire, fight crime with the help of his manservant.
He just flipped the roles of Bruce and Alfred.
@@rustincohle2135 Ok, so Goyer wrote the story, before anyone was attached, before the film was even give the green light.
I assume you've read books that have been made into films. It's rare the two are even close. As apposed to screen plays from movies that have been made into books.
Two good and trending because of xmas. Are Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.
Die Hard comes from an existing book that is VERY different from the film.
Lethal Weapon's book is an adaptation of the screen play. So it's almost identical to the film.
Goyer wrote a good story, but that is not why the film was so good. The film is great because the screen play took on what the now attached actors where bringing to the film.
I love a lot of Goyer's work, but TBH, it's 50/50 hits and misses.
So, why do I ignore Christoper?
Because, writing the script was not his job!
Did he put time in, yes. But the guy was at the same time setting up and directing a film. Which isn't exactly a small job.
Jonathan was only employed to write the screen play. Do you honestly think a screen play this tight comes out of someone with a million and one other distractions?
And quite frankly, Jonathan's work since TDN without his brother or Goyer has clearly shown where the credit for the screen play should be placed.
Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy both did ‘Westworld’ on HBO, you should check out a trailer or the 1st episode & see what you think
Person of Interest is the most underrated show ever made!
Fun fact Marij: One of his most famous lines in the batman comics uttered by the Joker, "If I'm going to have a past, I'd prefer it to be multiple choice.
It's such a crucial part of the Joker's character. He always wants you guessing, What's the objective of the game.
Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke", right?
That man is a God.
I was in tears when I saw this in the theater the first time, not so much because it was sad, but because it was just so beautiful how perfectly the whole story came together. Part of that was already knowing the comics lore going in, and knowing from the beginning that Harvey Dent was destined to become the villain Two Face, obsessed with the fairness of random chance, half his body blown to shit, so I knew, for instance, when he said "you either die the hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"... these were prophetic words. And then, that scene in the hospital, when he picks up his double sided coin, and slowly reveals the other side is now marred and ugly, just like him, and everything that that meant because of where the coin was when it was scarred that way... just so perfect.
Such amazing writing & screenplay 🤩
i agree. when i first saw it in theatres, i didn't know much about nolan, batman, or superheros (except spider-man comics). i was blown away by how beautifully and realistically done a batman movie could be.
Gordon definitely has some blame on Rachel's death. he ignored Harvey's warnings about the corrupted people in his team.
Batman has to take some blame for her death too. If he had gone after the Joker first instead of focusing on the mob, then Joker wouldn't be a position to trap Rachel and Harvey in those warehouses rigged to explode. With Joker immediately locked up, Rachel would still be alive and Harvey wouldn't have become Two-Face.
I don't know that he "ignored" them so much as he didn't have the evidence to move against them. That's part of what makes "moles" such a difficult problem in security; going after them over-zealously can create an atmosphere of paranoia and distrust that destroys your organization far more efficiently than actual moles could ever hope to do.
A bit off-topic, but there's a sorta sci-fi story, I can't recall which one at the moment (something from the '70s, maybe?) in which a character destroys a totalitarian regime by implanting the idea of moles and other matters of distrust well enough to cause the structure to eat itself. The name of the supposed spy leader everyone's searching for is, IIRC, "Jacques Cuse", or "j'accuse", "I accuse", a reference to the atmosphere of universal suspicion and accusation that brought down the powerful organization without a shot being fired. Always fun when you can defeat a dictator and mock them in the process.
I'm glad you caught on right away that the Joker lied about the addresses, people sometimes don't realize that and are confused
This movie was so intense and I totally agree, when you have a convincing villain, the stakes are raised.
I think his one is the best of the three
This movie was intense with all the music. After every climatic moment in the movie, you think things will die down and get calm. Until, there's another climatic moment to back up the moment prior and make matters much much worse. One of the most amazing aspects of the movie itself.
Which is extra impressive when you remember that, traditionally, the middle installment of a trilogy often has the hardest job, in terms of having neither the novelty of the first piece nor the triumphant conclusion of the third.
You know it's a good movie when you forget to speak English. Watching you react and letting your language slip when you get excited! Can't buy that reaction. Truly authentic!😲👍
This triology is the best Batman movies to date... and I think all of them are good in it´s own rights.
Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent is truly impressive acting. His descent from hero to villain is intense.
To where he kills the driver so they all have an equal chance at death. For Two-face, "It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair!". "You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time! But you were wrong."
What a next-level performance. Check out "Thank You for Smoking" another Eckhart standout.
For sure. Great actor for sure. Eckart is a very underrated actor
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 I love Aaron Eckhart in "Thank You for not smoking"
It's actually "Thank You for Smoking"
"Lie, like I lied."
Thank you for smoking, i didn't Watch it Yet but Other movies with him i saw... However, i learned Harvey's speech of morality on TDK, it was so much fun saying it. It's by far the Best acting on Eckhart's career.
heath ledger was soooooo amazing. his take on the joker was nothing short of genius. just the fact that he's so scary but also charming and funny!
joker LIES about everything:
- where he got his scars
- how he doesn't plan and he's just like a dog chasing cars... he is the ULTIMATE PLANNER
joker's consistent motivation seems to be that humanity is NOT GOOD. throughout the movie, he sets people against each other to prove his thesis - when the chips are down, people will eat each other. so:
- bank robbery where the team is willing to kill each other for more money
- the "try outs" where he won't kill both of the guys but they're going to have to decide who lives
- the ferry (TOOOOOTALLY UNREALISTIC THO... in real life, it might not be the prisoners, it probably wouldn't be the guy who said he'd do it but chicken out... it would be the MOM PROTECTING HER CHILDREN)
you know the big money pile that the joker burns because bullets and gas are cheap? did you forget who was still on the top of that money pile? most people did. the joker burned lau alive!
And the money. He clearly has money!
The ferry seen was just so the ratings would be better and more so it would not get an R rating. R ratings tend to make less money. Hell even bat man did something selfish by going for the chick instead of dent. Only reason he lived was because joker lied where dent really was. The movies a lot darker if you change the one seen
Another aspect of the ferry test many miss is that the detonators WERE for that same boat…if one group set the bomb off, they’d kill themselves, and the other group would get the blame, no matter how vehemently they denied having done it…
I don't understand why so many people characterize the refusal to murder hundreds of people to hopefully mollify a monster enough to spare you as "weakness". Weakness would be taking the safe, easy way out. Strength is being willing to die for something greater than your fragile, temporary being. As to the "mom protecting her kids"; by making herself a monster? By telling them that there's nothing more to hope for in life than dodging the inevitable a little bit longer, no matter the cost? Seems to be fundamentally missing the point.
As far as the Joker "lying", as far as I can tell, he only lies once in the entire film, and that's when he deliberately switches the locations of Rachel and Harvey, as a test. As to the rest of the film; well, he's a man of his word.
@@trayolphia5756 Interesting theory, but I see no evidence for it, nor any reason to think the Joker is lying about the set-up (he only seems to lie the once). Plus, doesn't really work, as that one prisoner threw the detonator out the window. Hard to falsely blame the prisoners for blowing up the other boat when guards and prisoners both would swear to not having the capacity.
Also doesn't seem Joker's style. He doesn't destroy people via public opinion; he destroys them by making them compromise their own moral code, because that's his point. He's not really lying when he says he doesn't "have plans", as plans (arguably) require a desired outcome. Joker doesn't do that. He creates situations, and forces people to choose. Kinda like Jigsaw, in a sense.
31:24 -- Double blind.. Each boat had their OWN remote control.. Because the Joker would have found it amusing.
Heath Ledger was absolutely amazing as the Joker his anarchic unpredictable behaviour was portrayed fantastically also Aaron Eckhart's portrayal of Harvey Two-Face was tremendously gripping.
Yup, in any other movie Eckhart would have been getting all the praise, but Ledger blew everyone out of the water and overshadowed the rest of the cast.
As an actual anarchist, I'm not a fan of "anarchic" being used as a synonym for "violent and chaotic." Anarchy is about peace, equality, and voluntary cooperation.
💯% Eckart was amazing in this. Very underrated actor. Watch three other amazing performances of his: Meet Ted, In the Company of Men and Thank You For Smoking.
@@adrianjames5970 I sort of find the second actress annoying for whatever reasons. lol I wished they had kept the first one.
@@zarquondam How does that even work when people become uncooperative and unpeaceful.
People like myself who are addicted to seeing reactors watch this movie are always dialed in to every second. This movie entertains no matter how many times we've all seen it and no matter how many reactors watch it.
I'm pretty sure if we had been recorded in the theaters, our reactions would have been the exact same.
LOL, good point! I usually find myself watching the best scenes several times over, because I forget to stop watching the actual movie.
Someone else pointed it out, but part of the genius in the way Joker was written for this movie (and the way he was portrayed by Heath Ledger) was his characteristic of being an unreliable narrator. In your commentary you mentioned what a heartbreaking story he told about his scars, but then you realize it was all a lie. He is not only playing with the minds of the citizens of Gotham but also he is playing with our minds. This is very high level narrative screenwriting and it is extremely well acted by Ledger, may he rest in peace.
well, I don't think even the joker knows what story is the truth, if you look at the joker he even said in the killer joke "sometimes he remembers it one way, sometimes another, if I am going to have a past I prefer it to be multiple choice" I believe this joker does pay tribute to that.
Fun Fact: The elder gentleman that the Joker threatened at the party was US Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, who is currently third in line to President of the United States. It was his fourth of five appearances in the Batman franchise.
Heath Ledger had one last movie after this before his passing - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Because he was so damn good as Joker, I feel like everyone ignores his last one. Granted, he passed away in the middle of filming, but the tribute the actors did for him to finish the project was actually well done.
He was really great in that movie too. I didn’t LOVE the stand ins but it really isn’t so out of place, if you didn’t know, it’s not totally impossible to imagine the lead character changing in the dream worlds, it is TG after all lol .
Well, to be fair, Imaginarium isn't really a mainstream movie, so the average movie goer isn't going to know about the movie anyway.
He passed away during editing...
This is the best in the trilogy for most people, myself included. The third one is still very good, but it is a different type of Batman story than we thought we were going to het
RE: Truck Flip. Yes .. this same stunt was done in Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines.
I'm "horror-proof" in the sense that I don't understand why movies like Friday the 13th, The Ring, and Hereditary are scary. I can't suspend my disbelief enough to get immersed in them. The theater where we saw this was at a mall. We normally park at a different entrance where spaces are easier to come by. It was the last screening and as we left the theater at about 1:30 AM, our parking lot was empty except of about three cars. The building surrounded us on three sides, and the only area we could see was the railroad tracks off in the distance; no signs of other people. We hit the doors (which locked behind us to keep us from going back in) and stepped into that lot. We were alone, in an area with one exit and no where to hide, and the feeling of vulnerability that hit me was intense. I 100% credit this movie for that. I've been on edge after an action movie before, but I've never felt like I needed to get the hell out of there when there was absolutely no threat.
I could not wait for you to watch this movie. It doesn’t even feel like a Superhero movie. It just feels like a normal movie that has a superhero. It’s one of my favorite movies ever.
Forget “Comic book movie” this was one of the best action/adventure movies of all time, period. Magnificent!!!
14:34 *Falls from building onto car*
Mary: "Woah.. I would need a minute"
:D Oh man, I laughed. Never change, Mary!
Great reaction Mary! My office was on South LaSalle Street in Chicago (site of the truck flip at 20:52), when this scene was filmed. I remember leaving the office late that day, and being amazed at how the carefully staged lighting and empty streets made everything look so dramatic and surreal. Unfortunately, I had a train to catch and didn't get to see the actual truck flip. :(
That was a REAL truck they flipped over on the streets of Chicago. NOTHING CG about it
The awesomeness of it is a bit dulled because you can see the compressed air being blown that flips the truck, though.
@@AlexSeverinski Yes, but you have to know about this to take notice. I didn't notice the compressed air when O.J.Simpson got lauched in the air at the end of Naked Gun until recently.
25:17 “he lied!!!!” Well. Being the joker and all.😉 love the reactions!✌️
13:58 Yes, that's the point of the character. Doesn't matter how many movies claiming to be his origin sotry they make, The Joker has no backstory. Even in "The Killing Joke", which is probably the most accepted as his origin, Joker himself says "If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice". And then there was the whole thing where it was revealed there were actually three Jokers, as reference to three biggest Joker actors (Cesar Romero as the goofy clown Joker, Jack Nicholson as the crimelord Joker and Heath Ledger as the anarchist Joker).
26:39 Oh, you think it just looks gross? His left eyelid is completely burned off, meaning there's nothing to clear and moisturize his left eye. I don't even know what kind of constant pain that involves.
This is a great movie. I’m not a comic book guy at all. I saw it in theaters with my sis. We just wanted to see a movie and I asked if she wanted to see “the Batman movie.” Didn’t even know the name of it.
One of the best movie experiences of my life. Heath Ledger’s performance is really something special.
The hype surrounding this movie’s release was unprecedented. It was a big deal worldwide, and it was smashingly successful.
Just like NWH.
Mary shouting "OH MY FUCKING GOD!" is always so unexpected and it cracks me up. Those cats must be so confused.
Oooooh Mary if all you've seen with Heath is Knights Tale and Dark Knight I'd love to see you react to 10 Things I Hate About You. A truly fantastic modern Shakespeare adaptation as a 90s teen movie, but it's so good even today
That one put Joker and Robin in the same movie while it made stars of Mr. Ledger and Ms. Stiles.
Ah yes, always will remember the magic disappearing pencil! I would claim that Heath Ledgers performance makes this movie, just like Christoph Waltz's does with Inglorious Basterds.
This movie has been a high-water mark for superhero films since it was released. The MCU has gotten great over the past 14 years, but they still haven't quite gotten to this level.
The only other superhero movie comparable to this one, in my mind, is Logan.
submarine was a joke because it also applies to bats.
I love Knight's Tale, highly underrated. Have you seen "Ten Things I Hate about You"?
This one is definitely the peak of the trilogy.
Hey Mary, still loving all the reactions!
When you said "no way!" when Batman hooked himself to Lao and used the plane to escape. That is actually real technology. It's called Sky Hook. They actually tried that kind of thing back in the Vietnam era.
I know a lot of people have problems with The Joker's "plan" but I think The Joker describes it in the hospital. He doesn't have a plan and never did. He "just does things" to create chaos and anarchy. It action and reaction, with no real endgame in mind.
The Joker definitely has an endgame. He has a point to prove. What he doesn't have are "plans", at least in the sense that a plan requires a set goal. He creates situations, and makes people choose. Kinda like Jigsaw, in a way.
I've seen a lot of people react to this video and every one of them misses the double headed coin and the fact Joker lied about their locations.
You are a great movie watcher. I applaud you.
Love this movie. Remember first watching it on a date that went terrible, but I didnt really care because the movie was Great 😂
Wow. Wonder what happened to the date. 2008 is a long time ago.
This film never gets old an absolute masterwork
Of course the Joker lied. It's the Joker.
6:48 👍😅 I've probably seen this film over a thousand times, and it was worth "watching" again for your reaction. Can't wait to see what you think of Rises 😙👌
Hey MArij, YOu want to know what we thought about "The Dark Knight" when it came out. To sum it all up.
The Nolan Dark knight is the Platinum Standard you must aim to achieve to even be in the conversation of top-tier movies.
And to think Chris Nolan has 5 or 6 of these spellbinding movies. Such as the Prestige, Interstellar, Inception, Dunkirk, and so on.
Interstellar was really bad though
Absolutely everyone in this movie was fantastic, but Heath Ledger as The Joker was totally mesmerizing. I remember watching this in the theater and being totally captivated by Ledger's performance. Mouth open and wide eyed every time he was on screen. Heath Ledger WAS The Joker. In my opinion this movie was the best of the trilogy. The third one is good too and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Tom Hardy as Bane is equally terrifying. Can't wait for your reaction! See you again soon Mary!
Mary, the year was 2008 when this came out. This AND Iron Man came out in 2008. It was the year that showed what superhero movies could be elevated to.
I say this completely earnestly and without irony: My own personal sense of morality and social justice was formed in a large part by reading about and watching Batman ever since I was a little kid, beginning with Adam West in the 1966 movie and TV show - which I also recommend watching.
This 1960s montage of Batman being a good role model may seem outrageously corny today (And indeed, it was intentionally humorously overdone), but when I was five years old it made a big impression on me when Batman laid down what it takes to be a decent person who contributes to society: ruclips.net/video/Qddas1Gwmys/видео.html
Yeah Nolan sticks with a lot of the same actors for his films. He builds close relationships with and knows what type of performacnes he can pull from those actors. It has it's upsides (All the acting in his films tends to be pretty damn great.) and it's downsides in that not as many people get a look in on his projects.
It’snot unheard of, Legendary director John Ford had a similar troop of actors he loved working with, so they where recurring in his work. Nowadays this is making a bit of a reoccurrence with directors as Nolan, Tarantino and Wes Anderson.
I am really enjoying your reactions. Keep up the good work.
Pretty much everything in this movie was practical not CGI. Including that awesome truck flip and hospital explosion. Also I’m glad you caught that joker swapped the addresses cause most people are confused the first time watching. Heath Ledgers improved the clapping in the prison and messing with the remote that blows up the hospital (the whole thing was supposed to go off but it didn’t but ledger just went along with it)
I'm a dyed in the wool Marvel fan, but this is not only a great movie, it is arguably the finest super hero movie ever made.
Ledger was in another fine movie, 10 things I hate about you. It's a rom-com loosely based on Taming of the Shrew. Recommended.
Not many people pick up that the Joker changes his story about the scars every time he tells it. Well done you!
... Not a request for the channel, but if you have the free time, I suggest Gotham (5 seasons). The first episode is the night Bruce's parents were killed, and the series follows his journey as a boy to the caped avenger. We also see the origins of the Penguin, Joke, and Catwoman among others. It's very grounded in reality.
The character of Alfred is a badass in his own right..Ex British SAS and in the comics Bruce is always angry at Alfred because Alfred has guns in the house and Bruce doesn’t like guns..When ever Bruce finds one Alfred says “you’ll never find them all”
I can’t wait to see your reaction to The Dark Knight Rises, and then you’ll complete your journey with The Dark Knight Trilogy
The Dark Knight, Superman the movie, and MCU phases 1-3...best comic book movies ever!
this is the one of the greatest movie in the history and acting skills of health ledger is on top notch and he got the oscar award for that movie. in this triology this is soo good movie. this movie makes me a DC fan because superheroes are not only kicking ass but they do have morals and it never potrait villian as antihero in any flim that admires me more
"Health Ledger" well not exactly...
17:10 "he has that like snake feeling"
anyone remember that guy's role's obsession with snakes (and mazes) in the movie prisoners from 2013? lol
also, that's really good movie, one of my faves
I want Mary to watch Community now, the TV show. Specifically the Batman episodes, but really the whole series. She hasn't yet seen the greatest Batman actor of all time.
Harvey's descent was a combination of utter loss and a complete destruction of his morals by the Joker. He is half right in a way since Gordon wasn't able to save Rachel since he didn't actively do anything to try to weed out the corrupt cops in the department. Thus, leading to Joker getting as far as he did. As much as the side characters shine, I think what's overlooked a lot is Bruce/Batman's perseverance in finding out what he has to become to combat a villain like the Joker and Bale plays that really well.
one of the coolest scenes in the movie and all i can focus on is ur cat pawing ur face :D :D
Batman didn't lie to the cops about picking up Rachel, Joker swapped the addresses.
Hey MArij, Wanna know how I got these scars. MY father put a knife to my face and asked me, "Why so serious".
Let's put a smile on that face. Then I learn that Chaos is the ladder that makes cowards out of all who dare oppose it. SO I became an agent of chaos. This is the true test of the Joker, and what makes him such a legendary villain. MArij, The Dark Knight is truly impressive and vicious, with an overload of moral conundrums that make you question your own morality in order to stop bad things from happening how far are you willing to go, what rules are you willing to break.
Speaking of Heath Ledger - I would love to see a reaction to Brokeback Mountain and it’s definitely a movie worth watching!
Excellent reaction, Mary! Couldn’t wait for you to do this one! Your reaction at the end was how we all felt sitting in that theater when the credits rolled. Just, wow! Dark Knight set a bar that I think has yet to be surpassed! Looking forward for you to see the next one 👍🏻
And I’m really sorry you got hit with a claim on this. I have no clue how Patreon works, but this has pushed me to the other side of the line to figure it out and become a patron! Looking forward to the full reactions! 🙌🏻
Dang, I forgot about that part joker appeared in the passenger seat and shot that guy with the shotgun. Happened so quick
I noticed your neck went super red after your cat cuddled you compared to the start of the video. Are you maybe secretly allergic to cats?
So there's a ton to like about this movie and I assume almost everyone will say the biggest things, but one thing I don't hear talked about very often - one of the best things about the tension in the last standoff with Harvey - in the comics, Gordon's daughter is a big character and becomes a hero herself. But he doesn't have a son. So when us comic book people are watching the movie and guessing a lot of things right because we know general characters and story, Harvey takes the boy and we go 'Uhhh damn, this kid might actually get killed.' It was cool of them to do that so we could be just as nervous as the non comic book audience and I really appreciated it.
That ain't universal for comic book people. For many like me, we're completely aware that Hollywood mainstream movies usually don't shoot children at point blank range to the head especially in the PG-13 superhero genre. A better setup would've been to actually kill off some kids earlier in the film so that the audience knows that all bets are off for Gordon's family.
@@jp3813 Idk on balance I'm glad that they never killed any kids in this. It's dark, but not hard-R dark.
@@the.seagull.35 That general expectation by the PG-13 audience is exactly why Hollywood usually doesn't cross that line.
I don’t watch awards shows. When they gave Heath Ledger the Oscar for this performance I scoffed, figuring it was just because he died. Then I watched this and realized that I was fu**ing wrong! lol Totally deserved! Unbelievable acting! Side note, next time I get the flu, I want to rest my head in Maggie Gyllenhall’s lap and have her read me a bedtime story. lol
When it was announced that Heath would be Joker the internet mocked and made fun of it. Then the teaser trailer came out and shut them all up.
Mary, now you know why this is one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Great reaction!
I cant wait your reaction to dark knight rises Is such a good movie and villain AND so much twists, you gonna love it.
Have you seen Dunkirk? It's also a great Nolan movie.
Being subscribed to you on Twitch I know you game somewhat, and so if you haven't done so already I recommend you play the Batman Arkham games, especially the first 2: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Although they don't quiiite reach the highs of this movie, in my estimation they are the best depiction of Batman in any medium overall. They're a blend of atmosphere from the celebrated Batman Animated Series with a darker, distinctive take from the game devs. Good times.
I wished I could experience this masterpiece for the first time again. What a great reaction ^^
The end always makes me sad. Him taking the blame is true heroism.
After almost 14 years, I still consider this movie as the best super hero movie ever made (though the first Avengers movie is a serious concurrent), and Ledger giving us the best version of the Joker there could be (though, the Joker form the Arkham video games is pretty close to it). It was a terrible loss that he died a few month after filming it.
The answer is up to the viewer, but I strongly believe that the Joker did lied about the ferries' detonators, and that whoever would have pushed the button would have blown himself, not the other ferry.
Which is why none of the members on either ferries pressed the button. Your theory is very interesting.
Your cat appears to be used to your calling out and hollering! 😄
22:26 Heath Ledger told Christian Bale not to tell him when he was going to slam him into the table.
It’s very hard to make a film like this for a wider audience where everything works but Nolan made it look so easy. Absolute masterpiece, in my book. Awesome reaction as always, Mary 👍
I judge movies by the nu,mber of times you say "nee".
I love Mary's morals and ethics. It is the sole reason I watch this channel. Her reaction to the movie Se7en gives me hope for the world, and is the best reaction to that movie on RUclips.
The extraction system that he used to get himself and Lau out of the skyscraper is a real thing that was actually used in the past. It was called the Fulton Surface to Air Recovery System and was used from 1958 up till around 1996 when the US Air Force stopped maintaining the system as a rescue and recovery option due to multiple rotary wing aircraft now having long enough ranges to do rescues and extractions. It is actually in a few games and movies and is one of the core gameplay mechanics in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for extracting materials and people to your base of operations from the mission area.
All I can think is that it would really, really, really hurt.
The detail in this movie is great, if you watch the Batpod deploy from the Tumbler in slow motion you can see how it comes together.
The editing is again so low-key funny. Baba yaga had me rolling on the floor! Props again Mary and editor for a fun reaction.
"I'm sad about the Rachel-Bruce thing, but I'm hoping it may be fixed." Oh my sweet summer child.
Technically, it was fixed....
I like this one the most, I think it's the best of the trilogy. 👍✌
This is the greatest superhero movie ever made (IMO) for all the reasons you point out. It's so well made. Hope you are having a lovely holiday!
I have a hard time picking my favorite dark knight trilogy movie. But it's definitely between Batman begins and the dark knight. This movie is excellent. I'm interested in how you feel about the last movie. I can't wait to see your reaction
This movie trilogy has aged like fine wine, excellent actors, solid script, perfectly directed.
There are so many amazing moments in this movie from start to finish.
I'm sure someone mentioned it somewhere, but the scene where The Joker blows up the hospital, they only had one chance to get that shot. When The Joker stops and kinda scratches his head, the rest of the charges hadn't gone off like they should. When they then went off a moment later, Heath nearly jumped out of his skin, but he mostly kept it in character, creating one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes in modern cinema.
O
You've already seen this
You're lucky, the coolest celebs with my birthday are Ron Howard and Zack Snyder.
In the end, the Joker won. He turned the White Knight of Gotham into a villain and made Batman break his one rule and killed Harvey, and then destroyed his reputation, claiming to have killed those people Harvey killed.
I love DC comics, the characters and the stories are amazing. Keep up the good work Mary.
The old man that Joker threatens at Harvey's fundraiser is Sr. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, from my home state :) He's a huuuge Batman fan and likes to do cameos.
The Joker's origin story he tells is always different because he has said that if he ever had one, he'd prefer it to be multiple choice. He also likes to see the reaction he gets out of people when he tells them one of the ones he's cooked up.
Heath also told Christian to really hit him during the interrogation scene so that he could sell his performance, and boy did it work. If you notice at the end, as the Joker is falling to his death before Batman catches him, he's cackling like a lunatic. "People show you who they really are in their last moments" he said before... well there you go.
Also I love your kitteh they're so kyooooot
I remember when I saw this movie in theaters. The theater was full and when the break came (yes we have breaks in our movies in Switzerland) everyone was quiet and there was this palpable tension in the air. Will never forget it.
2:36 - The gun-toting bank manager is played by William Fichtner, who’s kinda wasted in this role. He was a great antagonist in PRISON BREAK.
14:03 - The various scars stories are a nod to a famous Joker line from the comics, about his origin story: “I'm not exactly sure what happened. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another .... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice.”
15:29 - We find out more about Alfred’s backstory in the tv series GOTHAM, and *way* more about his backstory in the tv series PENNYWORTH.
22:39 - In the full version the Joker tells Batman “you complete me,” which is Tom Cruise’s famous line (in a somewhat more romantic context) in JERRY MAGUIRE.
25:30 - If you can’t trust the Joker, who *can* you trust? It almost makes me doubt his good intentions.
28:52 - Argh. That’s not what anarchy is. (Speaking as an anarchist.)
37:22 - Harvey turning into Two-Face is not unpredictable for those who’ve read the comics.
38:33 - That’s one drawback of the MCU movies, great as they are, is that with some obvious exceptions (e.g., Loki, Hela, Thanos, Vulture) a lot of the villains are rather forgettable - more forgettable than their counterparts in the comics. Malekith the Dark Elf, Ronan the Accuser, Kaecilius - not particularly interesting.
38:50 - Now you need to watch the 1966 Batman movie. A very funny comedy, about as different from this as you can imagine.
If you have only seen Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale, YOU HAVE TO see him in MONSTER's BALL.
