What happened was…WB and the filmmakers didn’t want the 12 clips dumped into one article. They wanted the clips used in conjunction with interviews or other articles about the movie. After speaking with WB today, I was told I can post all 12 clips as long as they’re spread out over a number of articles.

So…

Over the next few days I’ll have the clips back online. I’ve got a number of interviews to post and I'll use 2 clips per interview. Also, since I’ve already posted my thoughts on the film but perhaps some of you missed them…here’s what I wrote the day after I saw the movie, but this time it’s being posted with the first two movie clips. Is it cheating? Perhaps.

Again, the main reason I’m posting these clips is due to the emails I’ve gotten and the fact that many of you want to see them. But I’ll say it again…don’t watch the clips. Stop watching the trailers. Stay spoiler free. The less you know about The Dark Knight, the more you’ll love the movie.

But for those who need a fix...here are the clips and further down my thoughts on the film.

Movie Clip 2 – If you’re not getting shot at you’re not doing your job

And here are my thoughts...

While fandom might be nervous that the film has been hyped too hard or it won’t deliver what we all hoped it could…I am here to report The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. And unlike Batman Begins, which had a weak 3rd act, The Dark Knight is flawless beginning to end.

It’s very rare for me to say this…but I have nothing to nitpick. Usually when I see any movie I wish they had done something differently…but The Dark Knight is the comic book movie geekdom has waited their entire lives for. It’s easily the best Batman movie and it’s also one of the best comic book movies to ever hit the screen.

But calling it a comic book movie does the film a disservice. It’s a great MOVIE…regardless of the fact that Batman is the star.

And since everyone’s been asking me about Heath Ledger’s performance and is it Oscar worthy….

Look, it’s June. The big Oscar movies are still months away and who knows what other performances will hit movie screens. But Heath’s performance is as good as the hype, and I was sad when the film ended, as I knew this was the last performance from a gifted actor. I don’t need to see him posthumously win a trophy to tell me how great his portrayal of the Joker was.

Finally, do yourself a favor and try to avoid spoilers. I walked into the theater not knowing anything and I’m so grateful I did. You’re so close to seeing the film….don’t learn what happens.

And one last thing…this movie was partly shot in IMAX. So if you have an IMAX theater around you…go see it in IMAX!! All the big actions scenes and the establishing shots are filmed in the large screen format and they’re breathtaking on the big screen. A few of the scenes last night caused the normally jaded journalist crowd to let out a few gasps….

Anyway, look for more of the clips very soon.
