The Dark Knight The Non-Spoiler Critic Review Thread

[FCEEVIPER]

Even the best movies in the world get bad reviews

Sadly, that's the truth.

So dont sweat it

I never do.

 

[Mike53421]

Whatever, was bound to happen. And he didn't like the Tumbler in Begins.

 

[Superman4ever]

It just seems like he gave TDK a negative just to give it a negative. Not for kids? Too Noisy?

W/E...

I sent him a spirited yet proffesional email regarding his "review".

That's too funny!

That negative review, seems like it's going to be spoilery. I read a few things that I already knew but some might not, so i stopped reading it. I am thinking it is a little spoilery.

Any one see this?

The Dark Knight: An Extraordinary Cinematic Revolution

It says it's not a spoilerish review, so I read the first paragraph or so and it's safe. I did stop after that...just in case, anyway it got me even more pumped!

 

[Finlandman]

New review coming soon = http://www.horror.com/php/article-2022-1.html

Apparently, this one thinks TDK should join the ranks of the greatest crime dramas in history.

Site has now full review. It doesn't have any spoilers.

It was bond to happen, no surprise there.

But

 

[Conebone69]

Why did it go down so far just cuz of one bad review?

This critic didn't like Iron Man or TDK, but he likes Hancock?! wtf...

Lol yeah. Did this guy like BB?

 

[the_monk]

It was to be expected from the New Yorker. It's a pretty snobby magazine.

 

[Mike53421]

The guy liked Hancock, Shrek 3, Vantage Point.

The guy did not like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Dark Knight, 300.

Like a friend just reminded me, at the end of the day it's one mans opinion.

 

[moguy]

Why did it go down so far just cuz of one bad review?

Because there are only 17 reviews so far.

Still, 2.5 out of 4 stars should have been fresh, not rotten.

That's 62.5%, which is above the 60% rotten threshold.

Strange math.

 

[the_monk]

No, he didn't like Batman Begins:

"In Memento, Nolan and his editor, Dody Dorn, created a new syntax for movies. It’s depressing to see Nolan now relying on the same fakery as everyone else."

 

[Conebone69]

Sweet, then I dont care about him

Hey, you're right. RT is weird sometimes when doing the math for reviews.

 

[Jokers_Wild]

NO. Big surprise there...

[batman11]

Speaking of the RT system BTW, is anyone else puzzled how it's average is only 8/10? Even with the one rotten review, the only review below 9/10 or 10/10 (percentage wise) is the CHUD one which RT apparently counted as 8.5/10. So I'm not really sure how the average is 8/10. Sometimes RT is reaaaaallllyyyy messed up. LOL t:

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Snob.
