The Dark Knight The Dark Knight: tomatometer predictions, ratings and discussion

[nickyg641]

It'll definitely be higher than BB's 84%, I think. So I'll guess 86% to 94%. Anything lower or higher will be a bit of a surprise to me.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

I'll go with 89%

 

[emj2006]

OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

lol, enough with the DBZ crap!!

 

[DDS]

I'm thinking anywhere between 75-95%.

 

[Finlandman]

It will probably be just below 90 % after two weeks.

 

[Cmill216]

OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

Cmill's Guess: 90-95%

Where is it?

Edit:

Spoiler

He's the hero when Gotham needs one - thanklessly fighting the evil that all of us fear; but that we all have within us. When necessary he will turn and take the blame for all that has gone wrong. He is whatever the city needs him to be. He is unflinching and uncorruptable. He is Batman.

This theme runs throughout The Dark Knight - which is, the darkest, unforgiving Batman movie I have ever seen - and Christopher Nolan's masterpiece. We either die the hero, or live to see ourselves become the villian.

It seems the streets are safer in Gotham, and crime lords now fear the night - however, from the opening shot we get a forboding sense of the evil to come. And evil comes - in a opening sequence that I would never dare give away - we meet the Joker. I find it difficult to put into words exactly how i felt watching Heath Ledger portray the joker, now that he has passed - it almost pains me to think that he will never get to see this movie. He has created one of the most mercilessly evil characters I have ever seen on screen, one that actually disturbed me from time to time because i didn't know what he would do next - one that nearly gaurantees him an Oscar nomination. From the moment he shares his first "magic trick" with the table of crime lords, he will stun you - you will not look away when he is on screen. I think he will make some people unsettled.

As the crime lords align under one leader, "The Joker" - with one purpose - "Kill The Batman" - it may seem like our hero Batman takes the backseat here, and you would be slightly correct. While Christian Bale is amazing as always, this is Heath Ledger's show. But Batman is back with a slick new bike, new suit, and a mess of gadgets from Morgan Freeman - that Christopher Nolan of course takes ample time to explain. I have to say that Aaron Eckhart sometimes rubs me the wrong way, but he is great here as Harvey Dent - the shining ray of hope for Gothan, and Two Face - the evil he has become. Make no mistake, Two Face is not some gag reveal tacked on at the end of the film - no, Two Face is a seriously grotesque villian not to be taken lightly; heads you live, tails you die.

The series themes of violent escalation take effect, and things quickly become out of control as the Joker holds the city hostage and stages several nightmare scenarios - forcing innocents to make sadistic decisions. Christopher Nolan holds nothing back. Even when faith is lost, and it appears things are at their worst Batman thanklessly fights on - until final showdowns when decisions are made, and characters are defined.

This movie is beautifully paced by Nolan, with a very strong script. His action sequences are a marvel to behold, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have been made to look like complete fools this summer. There is just a scant of CGI to be seen throughout - at one moment a helicopter was crashing and I was thinking, "here come the computer effects", but no - real flaming wreckage.

Dark Knight will excite you one moment, terrify you the next, and then will grip your heart to see the fall of several characters. Ledger's performance is not one you will forget quickly, he channeled evil for this role, and I am not taken aback easily. Nolan continues his grand opus that he started with Batman Begins, and will continue on into a third film i am sure. Which is good because Dark Knight ends with a slightly "to be continued" feel to it. This is the movie of the summer, and one of the smartest action movies ever made.

Now just try to hold your excitement for a few more weeks.

9.5/10

Also RT has listed Rolling Stones as the first reviewer. (This has a few mild spoilers.)

So far 5 reviews ( so far only one official ) each one saying its a Master Piece and its being compared to Godfather~! yeah this movie 90's & up

 

[Superman4ever]

Spider-Man 2 has 93% as well.

I'd like to see The Dark Knight hit at least 90%.

It better have at least a 90 or people will die!

 

[Figs]

I'm guessing somewhere in the 85%-90% range.

 

[deathfromabove]

95%

it will be hailed as a masterpiece and it will be the movie that finally puts a headstone on the term "comic book movie".

[TNC9852002]

If Batman Begins got a 84%, TDK will probably get a 86-89%

-TNC

 

[redfirebird2008]

So far 5 reviews ( so far only one official ) each one saying its a Master Piece and its being compared to Godfather~! yeah this movie 90's & up

Where are the other 4 reviews?

 

[DSET]

87-91%
and 85-88% cream of crop

And My guess is that if you look at the actual scores the critics gave it all of them will be higher than what they gave iron man or the same
and yet the actual meter will be lower

IM was a great movie but the ending battle was acted and written horribly.

 

[TNC9852002]

"horribly" is such a strong, nerdy word, isn't it?

-TNC

 

[DSET]

lol

[LatinKnight]

guys this movie is easeily 110%.......this movie deserves all the hype, all the good reviews it can get possible!

it's not that Heath is past away and so now TDK needs pity...no...these actors are putting heart into a trilogy that all BatFans were waiting for..period!

I remember defending movies 3 and 4 so much it was overwhleming...&..now Nolan and David S.Goyer(yes him) have put these movies to stand alone more than Godfather flicks.

1.TDK will ripp Box Office Sells!
2.Will prove everything that the Hype has created!and more!

And to add to this little story......the lines that Joker and Batman say to each other to
top it all......

Batman:.."I live by one rule"

Joker:.."And tonight.... ur gonna break ur one rule"

Those two line show you that This movie is gonna rock everything behind this moment!

 

[Batman713]

I'm expecting a minimum of 90%, no less. Seeing how Batman Begins only managed mid 80s was a travesty, while Iron Man got a 90+ (no disrespect, it was a great movie).

And sort of off topic, but for all you rotten tomato fans, take a look at Wall-E's page, theres 2 critics (so far) who've gotten major heat for giving Wall-E a rotten score:

Just read the comments for the 2 rotten reviews, it's ****ing hilarious!
