crying over THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) ☾ MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

Over 40k of you managed to see The Dark Knight Rises before copyright hit it :') I posted on the community tab as I always do with updates, but I've still recieved 100s of comments saying: "waiting for rises video". Trust me it's been there, but if RU-vid doesn't want to lift it then I'll just have to edit over again, waiting for their reply ♥

15 years later, still the greatest superhero movie of all time.

Yesterday we lost Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman from the BATMAN Animated Series to cancer at age 66.

Heath Ledger was absolutely *amazing* in this movie. I remember hearing about him locking himself up in a motel room for 30 days and keeping a diary to prepare himself for the role and was dumbfounded by his commitment to the craft. I also remember hearing about his death shortly after and how sad it was to have lost such a great talent at so young an age.

Don't be ashamed of getting emotional over this movie. It's hard not to. I saw this in theaters twice, and that ending had me in my feelings both times.

The fact you cried out of sheer joy and awe over this film shows how this is genuinely one of the best films ever made

Her reaction to heath was actually genuine it was her first time seeing him with the scars and makeup and she was terrified

This was a generation defining film. The marketing campaign was one of the more memorable ones I’ve seen in my life time. “I believe in Harvey Dent” mock campaign flyers are what marked the months/weeks/days leading up to its release. To help illustrate, I arrived at the IMAX on the midnight screening two hours early thinking I’d get a decent pick of seats. When I got to the IMAX entrance, all the doors were open and the lobby was empty. When I walked in, over half the theater was full. This was before it had assigned seating. I was still glad I got there two hours early, but bummed I had to sit in the front half of the theater. I also remember when Joker said the line “I think you and I are destined to do this forever” and getting a slight shiver because Heath Ledger had just recently passed away. Time will show this film to be objective good as opposed to subjectively good. It’s already ingrained in pop culture.

The direction , the acting , the music , the story , the cinematography. This is still one of the best movies all around and best super hero movie 🦇

I feel like you're crying because a sacrifice well acted hits us all in the heart

"why am I crying?" Because the best superhero movie ever made just ended. Heath Ledger dominated every scene. He won a well deserved Oscar

10:52 Kamilla shocked and in awe at the S-Tier acting by Heath Ledger, gave ME chills. Thanks for reacting from Sweden.

It's so tragically sad that we lost Heath Ledger after his performance in this movie. Also yesterday Kevin Conroy the voice of Batman from the Batman Animated Series just passed away to cancer at age 66. Kevin was a big part of my childhood

They’re emotional films! The acting, story, music of course! The music is phenomenal! Hans Zimmer is excellent at creating effective emotional music

“I AM VENGEANCE, I AM THE NIGHT, I AM BATMAN!!!” - Kevin Conroy: 1955 - 2022 This film is a blast introducing us to the character of the Joker played by the amazing Heath Ledger. This aspect of the film the whole Joker vs Gotham and Batman is my favourite part. The only aspect of the story I didn't really care for is the death of Two-Face he would've easily been used for more projects and just feels odd to introduce such an important character only to kill them off. But overall still enjoy it. From a visual standpoint I much prefer Batman Begins simply because it's rendition of Gotham actually looks like Gotham City while what we see in The Dark Knight is just Chicago with Gotham City labelled across everything from banks to the GCPD police cars. Tim Burtons Batman films really spoiled us early on with an amazing rendition of Gotham that it's hard for other films to live up to it. Character info: The Joker debuted in Batman #1, the Spring 1940. His origin is very unclear as even the Joker himself can't remember what story is true or not turning it into some kind of folklore story that has many different versions. One origin has the Joker acting as the identity of the "Red Hood", along with a gang of other thugs, committing a robbery in or near the Ace Chemical Processing Plant. During this robbery he either tripped into a vat of chemicals or was accidentally pushed in by Batman. Most versions of his origin end with him falling into chemicals which bleach his skin, make his hair green, and give him a maniacal red smile. Sometimes the chemicals are also blamed for his mental state. Others say he was a failed stand up comedian and a family man who turned to crime under the identity of the Red Hood. For the Dark Knight it just seems like the Joker was a psychopath no falling into chemicals with his origin being left unclear. Maybe he had a family maybe he never did who knows and that's the fun of the Joker his origin just changes all the time and is never clear on which is real and which is fake. As universal for Nolan's Batman his take on these characters are more grounded" or "realistic" as some people call it. Overall he's an amazing Joker but Mark Hamill is still my Favourite. All the Jokers are really good, besides one who I'll not name. If you ever want to dive into other Batman movies I highly recommend Mask of the Phantasm it's my personal favourite Batman film along with Batman Beyond Return of the Joker. You also have the Tim Burton movies as well which are very different to Nolan's films more stylised comic book feel.

This movie is so good it makes you cry. You don't see many movies like this anymore.

I love Jack Nicholson's Joker, But to me, Heath Ledger's Joker just gives the creeps with the way he talks to people, playing with your mind by telling his stories even really making you feel like this man is not normal and that Batman needs save us from this crazy guy because he is not ''crazy'', Fantastic reaction Centane.

I love her moment of realization at 29:09 🤣. The whole situation is really messed up.

It is awesome that's why you're crying. Great ending.

"Why am I crying?" Because you have good taste in movies and even a better soul.

IMHO not only the best comic book adaptation, but also one of the top 10 movies ever. I cannot think that Heath Ledger's Joker will ever be surpassed.

I absolutely love the trilogy, but the 2nd movie is far the best one. And the way you react is totally logical and makes this video even more unique. Greetings from Germany

This was the movie that made me go and watch as many Christopher Nolan films as I could. Such a great director!

Gosh, they got you hook, line, and sinker! It’s a fantastic movie! Glad you got so invested! There’s a quote that goes something like, “We cry at the theater not when something is sad, but when something is more beautiful than we anticipated”. Perhaps that’s where those tears came from! It’s a very powerful movie!

This film takes several views to get everything that was done in it. It's great and I love it. Also the sad news of Kevin Conroy passing broke my heart. He was the longest playing Batman ever. Over 30 years of voicing Batman in cartoons and games. He finally got to play Bruce Wayne in the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover in the Arrowverse.

CENTANE: It is marvelous to actually find a movie reactor who is the diametric opposite of ones who feel the need to constantly blather. There are very good reactors who find a happy medium between talking and not talking and you are certainly one of them!

One of the greatest movies in existence. Not even just speaking from a superhero movie point of view. This is a brilliant stand-alone film that you could watch with almost zero context to the first movie or any knowledge of Joker or the Batman storylines. PEAK theatrical performances and storytelling. Just peak all around as a whole.

As an Australian I was very proud of Heath Ledger’s critically acclaimed performance.

What I love about watching The Dark Knight now as an adult is taking notice about the most minute intricacies in direction and acting. And I have been very fortunate to be working in the film and television industry here in Chicago and hearing the stories from the crew that worked this masterpiece just adds a level of nuance and appreciation for this film. And it wasn't true, Heath knew when to turn it off and every single person I met and worked with that worked with him shared so many beautiful stories about him on set. And it breaks my heart all over again with how much of a beautiful soul the world lost.

This entire trilogy is a masterpiece of filmmaking in general. Your reaction to The Dark Knight is why I bring it up so often to my Film students, and I'm so excited for you to see the finale (Which I highly regard as the best ending to a trilogy of all-time for many reasons)!

Something to try when you eat tomatoes. A lot of people put salt on tomatoes but if you really wanna bring out a tomatoes flavor sprinkle a little sugar on them instead of salt. Tomatoes are acidic so sweet works better than bitter to bring out flavor.

It's okay. I cry at the end too, every time.

this movie is the greatest superhero of all time because, I watched this when I was little, and this movie begins the origin of batman and TwoFace

i like that your reactions are honest. not over-the-top, yelling screaming, crying at everything. just following the dialogue, seeming disturbed by the joker's antics, and just focusing on the story. great movie. definitely a timeless masterpiece that will be enjoyed for a long time

I was crying too, not because it was sad, but because it was so beautiful in its perfection... the 2 main points where I teared up at this was when they revealed the scarred side of Harvey's coin and you knew he had just become Two-Face, and then Gordon's short monologue at the end. Just perfect filmmaking.

Fun fact: the truck flip was shot in a multi-camera setup with, iirc, all four of the IMAX cameras that existed in the whole world at the time. The truck landed on one of them.

Loving your reactions to the "Nolan Trilogy" which, IMO, is the the best comic-book trilogy ever.

Fabulous reaction! Health Ledger as the Joker is other worldly. 💯🔥

Heath, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Hamill all brought together the perfect aspects of the Joker. Heath had the seriousness, Jack the comic book essence, and Mark the PERFECT voice. You should consider watching the 1989 movie, as well as the animated Batman series. Many consider the original animated Batman series run as some of the best Batman ever made, written or otherwise.

I saw this opening night on my birthday. As a lifelong Batman fan, believe when I tell you they nailed Batman so well that I stood up and started clapping, then the entire theater followed. Best birthday present of my life.

You know how you can stop batman from sneaking away in the middle of a conversation. Don't stop the cameras, keep filming. He uses the magic of editing to walk away while the cameras aren't rolling.

The Dark Knight is a Masterpiece

Oldmans speech at the end with the score in the background gets me every time. Great reaction 👍

To this day I hold this movie in my top 3 all time. It's almost a perfect movie 🎬 . Your reactions are brilliant. I can't wait until you watch dark night rises.

Halfway to 42! The answer to life, the universe, and everything:)

When I was watching this in the theater I am not sure I breathed for the last half of the film. I have been a long time fan of Batman for some time. The main thought that went through my head was finally a batman and Joker on film that is accurate. I loved this and am glade you liked it as well.

That first Joker reveal was absolutely INSANE to watch in a cinema..! o.O

As much as I love Ledger, the final ten minutes of this movie and the stand-off between Dent, Batman, and Gordon is probably among the best ten minutes in cinema of the entire 2000s. The pain in Harvey's voice at how much he has lost is just phenomenal acting by Eckhart, and the fear in Gordon is perfection from Oldman. And the culmination in the final moments with the montage, with Alfred burning the letter and Batman taking the blame for Dent's crimes, is just perfect writing. Because in the end Batman's entire purpose has been to bring hope back to Gotham and save it from itself.

Truly one of the best movies of all time. Between the acting, soundtrack, and cinematography. It’s all perfect.

“Now that you are old enough to drink we thought that the best thing for you was a car.” -Good Will Hunting

Always tears 😭 n the end every time i see those words!a silent guardian a watchfull protector a dark knight

I know some ppl want constant inauthentic 😆😭😤😱reactions from their reactors, but I love seeing that you're genuinely engrossed :)

-Conroy: "I'm Batman" -Bale: "No, I'm Batman" -Pattinson: "No, I'm Batman" -West: "I'm Batman, and so is my wife" -Keaton: "No, I'm Batman" -Kilmer: "No, I'm Batman" -Clooney: "No, I'm Ba...." -Kilmer:"Shut up, George. Nobody likes you" -Conroy: "Yeah, you suck, man" -Bale: "Any Ice puns you wanna share with the class, you dork?" -Clooney: "Screw you, guys" (Runaway in tears)

It's a normal reaction to be overwhelmed at the end of this. This movie has so many iconic lines.

One of my favorite movies. And as much as Heath Ledger deserved Oscar for this one, his best role (in my opinion) is in The Four Feathers, which I would definitely recommend if you haven't watched it yet.

this girl is getting more beautiful day by day god .

Heath makes me forget he’s acting. I see the Joker. His makeup, this facial expressions, this gestures - he’s GOAT. I love him and may he rest in peace.

Cannot wait to see the Dark Knight Rises reaction… been eagerly awaiting for days 😂😂😂

A silent gaurdian, A watchful protector," A DARK KNIGHT " one of most epic Lines of cinema ever. The last lines of the movie sums up the whole movie in a way.

Eric Roberts who played Salvatore Maroni in this movie has also played The Master in Doctor Who - The TV movie from 1996 with Paul McGann

Probably one of the greatest endings to a film ever

As children we praised heroes As adults we understood villains

Nolan and his all star casting took this movie to another level

Literally there's only one thing that can make me cry and that's when the best parts of our human spirit is depicted. Ending of Schindler's List "one more person", Doss "help me save one more", Portia "the quality of mercy" (that just got tears going thinking about it) etc. I don't think Batman would get me there but I bet that's why you were crying, "because he can take it". "On your left" did get me.

Gordon's little speech at the end about Batman being the hero Gotham deserves and how he's a dark knight... man. Everytime I see it I cry. The pure will of Batman to become the most hated person in the world, because he knows it will benefit the city he loves. Wow. And Kevin Conroy's passing made it even worse today. Usually I'll shed a tear or two, but this time around I wept for like 30 seconds straight.

Awesome reaction, Kamilla. I'm happy to see you're watching and enjoying the "Dark Knight" trilogy. Chris Nolan and everyone else involved in the making of this did an amazing job with these movies. It's no wonder you were crying at the end, TDK is so well written and brilliantly acted. It's an emotional roller coaster ride from the beginning to the end. Looking forward to your reaction to "The Dark Knight Rises"! Much love and greetings from Germany

Also, Kevin Conroy who voices Bruce Wayne aka Batman from both Batman the Animated Series and the Batman Arkham DC games died yesterday at age 66 from cancer which was my first DC cartoon introduction to Batman which is Kevin Conroy before the 1940s Superman cartoon shorts by Max Flaischer

Loved your reaction! Heath Ledger was outstanding in this film, simply no words.

Nolan made the Batman I had always wanted. After the 80s we were thirsting for a Dark Knight and this was it. The Batman stories are just so diverse with so man different takes. I think it is funny that today we all think Batman does not pick up a gun but in most of the original comics he carried a side arm and shot people. That view really did not change until the 60s. The biggest call to the comics in this show was the Joker's origin story always changing. Throughout the years because of some early story mistakes every new writer was able to recycle the Joker's origin or write a complete new one. They kept doing this for the character to make him seem more crazy over time. He never told the same story so there have always been 4 or 5 origin stories for the Joker. Ledger's Joker was just great. Worth the Oscar.

this movie is amazing i absolutly love it with my life. i love the story but on top of all, i love Heath and his groundbracking preformance!

Here before a multi-billion corporation tries to block a short reaction to a 14yr old film.

Fun fact: the scene where the Joker starts clapping his hands after gordon finds out he is now the commissioner was improvised by ledger on the spot and Nolan liked it so much they left it in the final cut of the film.

the greatest superhero movie of all time.

You REALLY appreciated the movie, and that WAS apparent in your expressions. Really enjoyed watching your reaction. I've seen many reactors do this movie, but you really appreciated it.

31:36 greatest improvised scene ever

This is my favorite Batman Movie and Heath Ledger performance as the Joker was brilliant 👏👏👏

One of the best superhero films of all time. Simply because it hits all the right action beats for a superhero genre.

Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy - Ultimate Batman's Voice

One of my most favourite comic book movie. I visited cinema three times...Heath Ledger is absolute brilliant Joker.

I am about 30 mins behind in the premiere. And first off, the countdown to premiere graphics are beautiful. And this is one of my fave movies, Not just superhero movies. Iconic. Heath was amazing.

It's nearly a sin that no one has mentioned, "Mask of the Phantasm." Happy Birthday, Kamilla!

That scene with Rachel and Joker at the party was improvised by Heath Ledger. It wasn't in the script for him to grab Maggie Gyllenhaal face like that. Luckily she ran with it and it added to the surprised terror in her performance.

greatest superhero movie of all time imo

I'm just thrilled you're finally getting to experience this once in a lifetime dark film!!

Michael Jai White(The mob boss who called Joker a clown) starred in his own comic book movie, "Spawn."

he's a silent guardian , a watchful protector A DARK KNIGHT

i started watching a bunch of your vids and its so nice to see "younger" people watching the movies i loved 10/15 years ago. You have also a talent for editing :D i can rewatch 2h+ movies in 40 min. with your reaction vids. I also get the feeling that Hollywood and co. dont do movies like this one anymore love it, keep it up!

The music especially just amplifies everything love it & rip to Kevin Conroy the best Batman we ever had & he was a great man so humble & sweet. Dc animated is peak but this movie is up there

don't cry or i'll cry too

Best joker ever of all times of all universes of all timelines for all eternity😂

Thank you for having some of the most genuine, and I do mean it, genuinie reactions on this platform. Some just fake it, and you can tell. But you, you're just watching the film, and that's what makes it a fantastic watch along.

Happy Birthday, always enjoy your reaction 🤠

Great work as always Kamilla!

A great film in itself.... but that final monologue is epic!

Still the greatest Batman movie

"You lost the girl who loves someone else"...... cruel world indeed.

Never knew Joker’s crew in the bank heist had aliases. Thanks subtitles.

Apparently Rachel‘s reaction was genuine fear and uncomfortableness as she had never seen Heath in make-up and costume before and he improvised the hall banquet scene, including the Jokers interaction with her.

Hans zimmer always incredible with his soundtracks
