I watched The Dark Knight last night. Decent movie, but I'll never understand the uber-love for it.

Some people calling it the best ever or it's insanely high rating on IMDb. Very strange. Solid, but it's a B+ at most.

I will go as far as saying it is the best comic hero movie.. But, in spite of being a strong believer that "genre" movies can be great - Marlowe Dec 11, 06:31
Engaging plot, great characters, great acting, great action scenes and dialog. I don't "uber-love" it, but it's a great movie. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 06:30 2
- Plot? -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 11, 06:31 1
  - Wayne's struggle between thin line of vigalante and hero is engaging. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 11, 06:36
I really liked it, but it went about 20 minutes too long. -- nm - Inigo Dec 11, 06:20 1

Yep. -- nm - Diva Dec 11, 06:19
Simply put - Heath Ledger's superb performance coupled with his death is the key to it's uber-success. -- nm - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 11, 06:19 6
- Batman vs. Joker at the top of their is the key to its success. That's why Batman (1989) was a blockbuster. -- nm - Inigo Dec 11, 06:21 4
  - Exact same movie with ledger still alive, less $$$. It's that simple IMO. I know quite a few people who wouldn't have seen it otherwise. - Cuzzin the Red Nosed Todd Dec 11, 06:27 1
    - Adjusted for inflation, Tim Burton's Batman made $450 million. - Inigo Dec 11, 06:31
  - Add a game up there. -- nm - Inigo Dec 11, 06:22 1
    - Batman vs Joker at the top of their is the key to its success. that's why Batman (1989) was a blockbuster. Is it a Person? - Will Hunting Dec 11, 06:23
- yup. not to take anything away from his incredible performance, but if he were still alive it wouldn't be getting nearly the play it is currently -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 06:21
