I'm not a Nolan hater at all. Why the hell would I own all of his films on Blu-ray and watch them multiple times if I hated the guy? He is my favorite director, but that doesn't mean I have to think he's perfect or that his movies are perfect. Dark Knight has zero business being in the top 5 of any all-time greatest list. It's not even in the top 5 best Nolan movies.Hustler wrote:And too many Nolan haters on Nolan Fans.redfirebird2008 wrote:Too many Nolan fans on IMDB.Havoc1st wrote:

Predict Rotten Tomatoes/IMDb scores
While I agree that it's not Nolan's best film clearly many feel that it is as pretty much everywhere around the web you'll see it ranked highest.

While one might be quick to say that these movie rating/ranking sites are infested with 'Nolanites' I would be more cautious and say it's more likely simply a product of the majority having limited exposure to film and obviously The Dark Knight made lasting waves that rippled through from the Box Office to influencing changes for the Oscar Awards even. It was a cultural phenomenon and I'm pretty sure if you randomly polled the general public it would easily come out of on top as Nolan's 'best'
Part of it is exposure. A movie like Memento never received the exposure TDK did. Just the fact that Ledger died gave the movie a lot more exposure to the general population than any of Nolan's other movies.lcbaseball22 wrote:While I agree that it's not Nolan's best film clearly many feel that it is as pretty much everywhere around the web you'll see it ranked highest.

Top Critic rating for it is 68% now. 
4 rottens in a row. Now at 73%
Deserves more than 73%. But, let it go... I don't mind anymore.
Agreed. I watched the film and liked, so the rating doesn't matter.. So i'll be buying it on Blu-ray.LeoCobb wrote:Deserves more than 73%. But, let it go... I don't mind anymore.

I don't either. I am just reporting.LeoCobb wrote:Deserves more than 73%. But, let it go... I don't mind anymore.
We should give the people, who are still hoping for a better RT score, false hope.
