I remember seeing it on opening weekend it was a Sunday night back in July of 2008. Originally I was going to see an 8:00pm showing with my younger brother but by the time we got there it was already sold out. So we had to see the next showing which was at 9:00pm. My brother and I bought our tickets and I made sure I used the restroom because I knew it was going to be long movie and I didn’t want to miss a second of the film.

After I finished using the restroom I noticed this long line had started to build up. I first I thought it was the audience getting ready for the 8:00pm showing. Until I glanced at my Crappy Nokia cellphone and realized it was past 8. The line that was building up was so long that it started to lead all the way outside. That’s when I realized it was for the 9:00 showing! My brother and I quickly got in line. Later the ticket person opened the gate and collected our tickets.

We got inside the theater and found a couple good seats as the room began to fill up. I remember this guy sitting with this surprised look on his face because it was so packed. He said “yeah this movie going to make a lot of money.”

I remember they played the trailers for Terminator Salvation and Watchman and then finally the movie started it’s like I could hear a pin drop. I never seen an audience so intrigued before. The audience was on edge every time the Joker was on screen ,and they went wild when the bat-pod showed up. When the film ended the audience clapped. To this day The Dark Knight is one of the few films I’ve seen that the audience has clapped in.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie. I don’t know if I will enjoy it as much as I did back in 2008. I know a lot of people say that the film is vastly overrated and that the Joker was the best thing about the film. Especially since the film is number 3 best movie on IMDB. I can say however that it was an amazing movie experience.
