Just my view and opinion on this situtation.

First off let me just say that The Dark Knight was a fantastic film. Was it perfect? No. Did it have it's flaws? Yes. Still the sequel to Batman Begins is my number one favorite flick this year. All-in-all I loved The Dark Knight. But apparently if you hated it you are less than a person, you are scum, you are everything that a child raping satanist is. Well that's what some Dark knight fans think.




A film critic named Keith Uhlich wrote up his review on the flick back in July. It was a negative review. What happened next? People started ripping this guy a new *******. Not only was he bombarded with name calling, but he also received death treats like this one that I found on joblow:





''You know, some people have been so enraged by your little opinion piece that they want you to kill yourself. Please DON'T!!! You know why, because I am going to have so much fun killing you myself! I promise, it WON'T be painless. I am going to carve a smile in your face. And then I am going to carve you stomach. And you know why? Because i just want my phone call. You're my ***** now! I am going to track you down through your IP address and then I am going to f@#%!%* kill you!!!''





This kind of mentality pisses me off about The Dark Knight fans. Because like I said The Dark Knight was not a perfect movie. Remember film is subjective. That's the wonderful thing about it, we all see films in a different way, like looking at a piece of art at a museum. We all have a opinion on it. But if some ******* comes along thinking his opinion is superior than everyone else's then **** that person, that person looses all respect and credibility to me.



Look at things this way. I don't agree with Keith Uhlich, but I respect that he has to say. He saw things different and that's great for him, more power to him. But personal attacks are low and disrespectful.



Have respect for other peoples opinions on films. Because opposite views on a film can spark fun conversations, it doesn't have to be heated and ugly.
 
This was bound to happen, whenever you get a group of die hard fans about anything, and someone bashes what the like, someone is bound to take it a little too far.

Batman fans or not, just happens that way.
 
Troll! Ban! Terrorize! Decapitate!

I'm goin to carve a smile on your troll face, Lunar :cmad:
 
Uhm.....

(insert applicable "Why So Serious?" line here)



In all serious ness, I agree. It's just a movie!
 
Is this all really necessary? I mean.....seriously?
 
Did you expect anything else?

i would have expected humanity not be so vile, all over a film. is it really too much to have the expectation to NOT receive death threats due to a movie review?

Batman is a comic book icon. His films attract some crazy fans who are of course in the acute minority, but are bound to be there. And they frequent the internet. Of course it's 'wrong' but also inevitable.
 
You mean the thread itself?

I think sending death treaths to people who disagree with you is despicable. No wonder so many people hate us.

No I mean the threats, seriously Im the kind of person where I dont care what other people think usually I like it when people dont like the same things that I do, so if people dont like TDk, then so be it, why should it matter to me.

I know what I like and what I dont, and people will always have the right to their own opinion, so theres really no use getting so worked up about someone's film review, the threats are so adolescent.
 
There have been morons throughout history....the internet just makes it easier these days for them to spread their idiotcy.

Im glad theres more than just a few people in this world than can see the light!
 
Yeah TDK fans take it too far. Like all seven bad reviews (or whatever the number) on rottentomatoes have hundreds of hate messages responding to them. I'm sure their e-mail boxes are filled with death threats.

Look at the imdb situation the 12 year olds there are going around to tons of boards (I believe I saw Hancock, Mamma Mia and Twilight) attacking their movies for simply "not being as good as TDK" and when they made it #1 on imdb's joke list Godfather fans *****ed about it, so OVER 15,000 TDK FANS started voting 1 on The Godfather and calling it "crap," so as to knock it down to number 3.

Most of these are 12-15 year olds, but still. Talk about an overzealous lot.
 
If you can't take death threats, criticism, etc.... You shouldn't be a reviewer, well, like there should be reviewers anyway.....

Ya I guess most of the time it comes with the territory.
 
as if there weren't people saying the same stuff when SM3 came out. Then they realized they were minority and backed off.

It's not TDK fans........it's stupid people in general. TDK is the hottest thing right now. So they jump on the bandwagon. Come back here 6 months after the DVD comes out and find one of those crazy people. You won't.

And as a side note; please note that the movie wasn't perfect..........for you. For some of us it was.

Like YOU said.......opinions.

It's because his bad review probably doesn't let TDK be at 95% on RT or something :cmad::woot:
 
Doesnt surprise me,people get death threats for less than that.
 
If anyone has been surfing the internet for any length of time, you know empty threats are pretty standard, so these sorts of reactions just do not bother me at all. I mean really, do you think the people doing the threatening will actually follow through? Maybe if they were the Joker this might be true.
