just saw it.
Above average, heath ledger's performance was good but it wasn't a classic performance or anything. It was too long and they still didn't have enough time to get anywhere worthwhile with the Two Face character. I was happy when it was over, but I did enjoy it.

Universal's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" fell just short of stealing the box office crown from juggernaut "The Dark Knight," which dropped only 42% in its third weekend to come within shouting distance of the $400 million mark in domestic ticket sales.
"Dragon Emperor," which returns the "Mummy" franchise to the bigscreen after a seven-year absence, opened to an estimated $42.5 million domestically from 3,759 screens, while Warner Bros.' "Dark Knight" grossed an estimated $43.8 million from 4,266. Cume is now $394.9 million. Overseas, the Rob Cohen-directed "Dragon Emperor" displayed far more firepower, grossing an estimated $59.5 million from 28 territories and easily beating "Dark Knight" for the No. 1 spot at the international box office. Privately, U and most box office observers had expected "Dragon Emperor" to beat "Dark Knight" at the domestic box office, but the Batman sequel's resilience and muscle continued to surprise. A big reason for the runaway success of "Dark Knight" is that the film is appealing to a broad audience, not just Batman diehards. "It's a movie that has overperformed at every turn. To have a 42% drop in the third weekend is a tremendous hold," said Warners exec VP of distribution Jeff Goldstein. "Everyone is going — everyone." On Saturday, "Dark Knight" saw an increase of 35% over Friday's gross, fueling its boffo weekend biz. "Dark Knight," co-produced and co-financed by Legendary Pictures, should cross the $400 million boundary today or Tuesday, and in record time. It took current record-holder "Shrek 2" 43 days to reach $400 million. Most now believe the Batman sequel's gross will hit near $500 million domestically. That would make it the second highest grossing film of all time after "Titanic," which cumed $600.8 million in North America.

The thing that really stands out in my mind about this film...if you took all the "comic" out of it, and all the special effects and explosions,
The story, the actual story, would still be great. I can imagine a nut like The Joker running around in the streets trying to create chaos, just because he thinks we need it. |

While it may not end up surpassing Titanic's ticket sales to become the No. 1 domestic release of all time, The Dark Knight is certainly well on its way to claiming the second position thanks to its latest milestone.
Variety reports that the Christopher Nolan-directed Bat-sequel passed the $400 million mark Monday, with a grand total of $400.1 million. The Dark Knight remains in first place at the U.S. box office after three weeks in release, declining only 43% last weekend and fending off the debut of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor to stay on top. As the trade points out, this continued success indicates TDK should pass the $500 million mark in the coming weeks, placing it right behind Titanic's first-place position in all-time domestic ticket sales ($600.8 million).
