a hell of a lot of people have been saying it is one of the best movies ever.
But it's not...
Just because people say it doesn't make it true...
Spoiler:
Dent told Rachel everything was gonna be all right, but that wasn't true, was it?
It's definitely the best COMIC BOOK FILM to date, but the greatest film ever? Get real!

As far as making money, probably. But as being a great comic book film, no. Hellboy 2 and Iron Man were far better than The Dark Knight. I still think Superman, dircected by Richard Donner in the 1970's is the greatest comic book movie of all time.
I'd have to disagree. Iron Man is good. Hellboy 2 is meh as comic book movies. While The Dark Knight is a great comic book movie

I could watch Iron Man over and over, same as Hell Boy 2. The Dark Knight I could probably stand maybe one more time before I'd be completely bored out of my gourd. The Dark Knight was a well made film. The Joker was the best thing about it. Everything else was not very innovative or fresh. Don't get me wrong, it was a very good film, but it did not score points for originality or entertainment value for me. I disagree with you, you disagree with me, so there we have it. I still think Iron Man and Hell Boy 2 are way better.
I want it on DVD already so that I can watch Begins followed by Knight and see the greatest comic book story on film.
Those 5 hours, those 2 films back to back are far better than the xmen trilogy, the Spiderman trilogy, the Superman films, or any others that I can think of. Many of the films in those series are great, but the overall arc/story....
beaten by Nolan and Bale with these 2 films.
Just my opinion, of course.
I don't even know if I want to watch Batman Begins again. Even that seems like dry crap when put up against the Dark Knight IMO. And Hell Boy and Iron Man? The thing that is so amazing to me about the Dark Knight is it transcends it's genre to the point where both of those movies seem almost childish to me. And I thought Iron Man was great and it still is a good movie but it just can't compare to the Dark Knight imo. Iron Man's a comic book flick. The Dark Knight is an epic.

to be honest, you can't really say any movie is the greatest movie,
too many people have different tastes to say a certain movie is THE GREATEST
but I don't hear people bitching about it when people say The Godfather is the greatest movie of all time. The only reason people don't want to think of TDK as the greatest movie is because the majority of the world can't take it seriously, because it is a Superhero movie.
DK is a lot more serious and is a way better comic book movie than any other. DK you had to listen to the dialog, unlike other comic book movies. The only two that doesn't fit the typical "popcorn flick" are begins and Sin City. I didn't even order anything to eat or drink while the movie was on.
Iron Man, was a good comic book movie but it wasn't serious at all. It was more of a popcorn flick and like all of the other comic book movies. Again with Hellboy 2, it was good and is a major popcorn flick but at times cheesy.
Like S & B stated DK is epic beyond all others.
You know what's funny, I ate popcorn all through the previews and even though I saw the movie twice before I handed the bucket to my sister when it started, told her she could have the rest and when we left it had about the same amount in it that I handed to her. I never even though about it or would have thought a thing of it until I read this thread.

No, I can take TDK very seriously...
The scene with the two boats and the remote control bombs is intense stuff...
I'm only against calling TDK the best film ever because it's not... There are other films that surpass TDK...
Like I said, Godfather, imo, surpasses TDK because there is so much story telling... They told an amazing story thanks to Mario Puzo's excellent novel... Not that TDK didn't tell an excellent story, because it did, but Godfather's story is so much more "real", if that makes any sense... ANYONE can be a gangster and EVERYONE has family, and therefore, people can relate to it more... You don't need fancy gadgets or martial arts, and you don't need a suped up tank car/bike or millions of dollars...
