Well first off, you're nuts if you think Transformers was superior to The Dark Knight, especially considering that you thought Christian Bale's "Batman voice" was hokey, because I found Transformers to be pretty hokey all the way through. Anyway, I agree that the "Batman voice" seemed a little forced, and since we saw the movie, we have continually joked around about it. Also, I feel exactly opposite about the replay factor. I don't think I will ever willfully watch Transformers again, but The Dark Knight will be viewed several times once it becomes part of my DVD collection. I was in Best Buy the other day, and they had their big 72" super duper plasma TV and surround sound setup on display, and they were showing the first 10 minutes of The Dark Knight in Blu-Ray. I guess they got this footage as a promo deal or something. Anyway, I sat there and watched it over and over about 4 times. That bank robbery scene is just freakin great.Originally Posted by ZEUS
I finally saw it last night... it was good but the disguised Batman voice is annoying and hokey - and so was 2-face's ability to function... then again, it is a motion comic so. I don't think there is much comparison between Jack's and Heath's versions of the Joker, mostly contrast. Both were great versions, but apples to oranges. The uncontrollable tongue flip thing was a great salute to Jack though! As a replay movie... I dunno, I might watch it 1 or 2 more times, but Transformers (yes, I did mention a Michael Bay movie, Mr. Elitist
), I still watch it every couple months!

PS - Yes, I think Michael Bay sucks, and I don't think that makes me an elitist.
