It was better then The Shawshank redemption, and more entertaining then the Godfather. It's a vote system by those who see movies.

Wow, I was right...

Overrating, much?

Godfather > Dark Knight

'nuff said...

But an awesome movie, nonetheless...

I think once the hype of the Dark Knight dies down that it will come down on the IMDB ranking. That or angry fangirls and boys of other stuff will sink it out of outrage at the idea of it being number 1.

This movie did open in more theaters on more screens than any movie I can ever remember, plus they ran showings of it all night long, at least here in Vegas. So no wonder it made so much money.

As far as liking it, I enjoyed it. I thought Heath Ledger stole the show. For the rest of the film, it was slow at times, the action was okay with only a few surprises. I thought some of the Joker's antics were very clever, like I said, Ledger stole the show. I gotta say, I don't really like Christian Bale as Batman. I think he looks like a recovered alcoholic who is going through withdrawal, and I can't stand his deep Batman voice, it always annoys me and it takes me out of the escape of watching a movie I want to lose myself in.

All in all, it was a good movie, I think it should have been called 'Two Face' though, since it really was about him.

The Godfather is good, but seriously, if you ask me...its the movie thats overated. You want my honest oppinion? I really think Dark Knight is the greatest movie I have ever seen.

Then perhps you should have stated your opinion correcty.


The Dark Knight was excellent. I saw it on Thursday afternoon because I know a guy. But it was was it was. It is one of the best films this year, but it wasn't meant to be anything other than what it was. I could be right but there with a lot of people who have reviewed it if it weren't for the rating system here in America. I loved every minute of this movie, but I sat there for 2 and 1/2 hours thinking this movie held back. And why did it hold back? Because it needed to come in under the PG-13 rating that this panty-waste country feels a need to honour. This movie should have been rated R. **** the children. If this movie would have been what it should have been, then it's worth their sacrifice. This movie played out like a comic book and I have no doubt tht many non-comic fans decided to attribute that to some measure of lacking in this film. But it was spot on in every sense of it's original material. The Joker was beyond expectation, Batman was great, the supporting cast was awesome, and even Rachel Dawes got what she deserved. This was an excellent movie, but I'm affraid non-comic fans will be left confused. (They can't help but feel a litle jilted by the non-sequitor movement from one scene to the next) I've read the stories, I've read the graphic novels and I'v read the comics and Novels. I'm just affraid the casual movie-goer will be left somewhat in the dark. (Which is fine since Begins was written in the same fashion.) I loved this movie, I loved the Joker (which I've been raving about for months) and I loved Batman. I just hope the average movie-goer is willing to apply the logic of this movie to his/her casual understanding of The Batman.

And if they don't: **** them. This movie was beyond awesome.

I agree this movie should have been rated R. I wanted to see the Joker slice people's faces, I wanted to see people get blasted by shot guns, I wanted to see Rachael blown to pieces. Every time they showed a gun fire without showing what damage it did, it took me out of escapism mode. That was one of my problems with this movie, it did not flow as well as it could have if it weren't trying to abide by a PG-13 rating. Don't get me wrong, I know leaving some things to the imagination is a good thing for some movies, but in this case it didn't work for me.

Not really...The Godfather has been overrated for many years...I don't think it will hurt it if TDK borrow the spotlight for awhile.

The only people left in the dark will the ones not paying attention to the story. Much like other movies that require to pay close attention, TDK keeps the suspense and surprise well hidden so that even those who think have figure out the next move get caught off guard. The film isn't complicated as the Original Matrix...or even confusing as Mission Impossible.

Absolutely not better than Shawshank. It should be somewhere in the top 50 maybe. Not even the best film this year, I think.

To call it the best film ever after it's only been out for 2 days is ridiculous.

Opinions are opinions.

Shawshank is one of my favorite movies, but I truly believe this movie trumped it.. And Apparently over 24 thousand other people do too.
