Nonsense, Batman Begins is a better film than Batman:TDK, this is just a fact.

Unfortunately, some people think that quality is debatable. Ironically, it's always fun debating someone who thinks that it is.

BB was a better story, but TDK was better simply because the Joker was in it.

"Batman Begins" was an origin story to re-establish the character.
"The Dark Knight" was an escalation of Batman's world, introducing elements and characters that increase our knowledge and understanding of not only Batman, but Gotham City in general.

The Joker was a strong quality, but he was only the most prominent of many. The dialogue, Harvey Dent, the boat scene, ect., were all one-ups from the first.

Quality is debatable. EG a BMW 525 is of better quality [build] than say any Lancia ever made. The film Crazy Heart is of better quality [script] than the film GI Joe.

The story sucks big greasy, salty lugnuts. It's too convoluted, tries to incorporate to many villains, and climaxes two times too many.

I agree Spiderman 3 sucks ass.

Of course quality is debatable, considering "Quality" is determined differently by each person.

If someone likes Date Movie, you can't tell them they're wrong.

True, though things like quality are a construct that can be relatively standardized. You can say there is no such thing as a good or bad doctor, but standards can be set saying that one doctor is generally considered "good" and another "bad." Though, an individuals subjective opinion can differ from the standard version of "good." I think the same can be said for movies.

That's not subjective, though.

If a doctor kills all his patients due to ineptitude, he is an objectively bad doctor. It doesn't matter what your personal opinion of him is, because ability is not subjective. Neither is a lack thereof.

You can't have the opinion that Neil Peart of Rush is a shit drummer, technically, because he factually is not. You can think the music he makes is shit, because that's up to you.

This isn't about that. It's about whether or not you enjoyed a movie, and thus consider it good quality. That's always subjective.

I keep on forgetting it can be difficult to detect sarcasm on here. I wasn't being literal. I was mocking Robtard.

By that token, sigs are unnecessary because it says your name above your avatar.

That's an interesting blog you've got there, by the way. How long have you been reading comics?
