It's been #1 at the box office for a full month now. We haven't had a feverish movie craze like this since Titanic in 1997. Who has seen it, who hasn't? If you haven't, why not? If you have, how many times?

I have seen "Titanic" many times. I haven't seen "Batman: The Dark Knight" yet.

If your profile is correct, you're only 16! I was 15 when Titanic was out. I feel old =P

I went out and saw this movie with a group of friends, and it was great. There is a lot of suspense in this movie, like...in every scene. What I really liked was that about 5 times, it seems like the movie is going to end and everything is winding to a close..but then it suddenly throws a ton of more action in your face.

...and despite so much action, it doesn't seem too long. In fact, I was clamoring for more! Like, no, don't end HERE?! The suspense was set in the first scene, with the bank, and it just didn't let up.

It was wise to set the tension level up in the first scene, because from there on, there was a theme that you didn't know when Joker would pop up. And it was scary, so it rose above an action movie, totally. Batman was really up against something he wasn't ready for.

Well that dosnt surperise me since this is a fantastic movie so far its the movie of the year in my opinion. Im sure most people have seen this movie already probally when it first came out but a lot of people went to see this movie 2 or 3 times I know someone who saw this movie 4 times and plans on going again. I know I wouldnt do that but thats why its number one.

I have not seen it becasue it cost to much money to go to the theater. I will wait until it comes out on Netflix and then I will watch it then. I don't really like the Batman movies all that well but this one seems to be getting alot of good reveiws from everyone so will have to see it.

I have seen the Dark Knight in theatres on its opening night. I am really happy I saw it. It was a great movie. I'm saddened by Heath Ledger though. He was really great in the movie. To me, he brought the movie to life. My boyfriend and I plan on seeing it again. We just dont know when. lol.

I agree this movie is a juggernaught at the box office. As you probably know, it is rare indeed to remain #1 at the box office four weeks in a row. I just recently saw it about ten days ago. The movie was fantastic, though I don't think I'd go as far to say it was one of the best movies I've seen. Health Ledger's performance is nothing short of spectacular. I haven't seen an actor immerse himself in a role like that since Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York. If he gets snubbed from an Oscar nomination then shame on the academy. Alas, going to see the same movie multiple times is a little out of the question now a days. I did see Wanted twice in the theaters, which I thought was a very fun film.

I saw The Dark Knight twice, which I agree is super-rare these days with ticket prices and the economy, but it's also rare that a movie is so good it's worth seeing ONCE at full price. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie twice!

The box office movies is a really big thing. For the Dark Knight to still be number one that means it was a good movie. That also means that they put time into making sure that is was one of those that will know your pants off and you would really like it. That they have done. NOw how long will to be there? I have seen the Titanic and it was one that would be considered to be a classic movie.
