<p>As of Saturday, the new Batman movie became the highest rated movie ever on the Internet Movie Database.
[The</a> Dark Knight Voted #1 Movie of All Time on IMDB | /Film](<a href=“/Film | Movie & TV News, Trailers, Interviews, & Reviews”>/Film | Movie & TV News, Trailers, Interviews, & Reviews)
Some of the other movies in the top 10 include Schindler’s List, The Godfather and Pulp Fiction. For those who have seen the movie, how do you think The Dark Knight compares with some of these classics?</p>
<p>This movie wasn’t as great as they inflated it to be. I mean, yes it was a good & quite funny movie but I fell asleep in the beginning and I kept falling asleep and couldn’t stay awake. I’m still trying to figure out if its because it was cold in the theatres or the movie was just flat out boring.</p>
<p>Clearly I am in the minority, since just about everyone in the world seems to love this movie, but I wasn’t that impressed with Dark Knight.</p>
<p>I thought Heath Ledger was great. But the movie has plot holes big enough to drive a batmobile through. I can suspend disbelief just so much.</p>
<p>I also was underwhelmed. I thought the splicing on action scenes was so choppy as to have no idea of what was going on (I’m thinking of the two trucks chasing each other scene). I also thought there were too many threads going on so that no one set of relationships got enough screen time - even with the 2.5 hour run time.</p>
<p>It was filmed very dark with lots of shadows, but that just got tiring on the eyes after awhile.</p>
<p>There was zero chemistry between Bruce and Ms. Dawes, which was disapointing. I’m a woman viewer, and the love story line (unrequited or not) is important as a hook, and it was missing for me.</p>
<p>It seems this movie really resonated or connected for a lot of other people, including many many reviewers. Oh well.</p>

<p>Good, but not nearly as good as some classics like The Silence of the Lambs.</p>
<p>My 16 y/o said that it was the best movie that he ever saw! I have not seen it and probably won’t.</p>
<p>The chemistry between Christian Bale and Heath Ledger was what sold the movie for me, along with Heath Ledger’s performance on the whole. His untimely death earlier this year makes me view his performance with great sadness rather than optimism for a growing career.</p>
<p>I did not enjoy 90% of the other actors. I liked Harvey Dent’s actor in Thank You For Smoking, but he just didn’t do it for me here, and I don’t know if that was because Batman v. Joker was just so amazing or if he ran flat. Ms. Dawes and Batman, I agree, had no chemistry.</p>
<p>I didn’t have a problem following the action splices, but then I’ve never had that problem with any movie I’ve seen (including the other ones people often complain are spliced together in such a way as to make the action incomprehensible). </p>
<p>On the whole, I thought it was a terrific movie. It didn’t fall prey to the sequel problem most other comic/pre-established fan-based movies do (with the massive amounts of fan service, I mean), but it had its nods and I thought, for the most part, it was tastefully done.</p>
<p>A great movie does not make it “the best movie of all-time,” however, and I’m surprised it ever reached the #1 spot. It had its share of failing moments, and while they didn’t ruin the movie for me, they definitely keep it from going for “the perfect movie.”</p>
<p>Saw it. Thought it was great on a number of levels, and rather suspect on some others. I did get a sense of how long it was running, which is not a good thing. Overall though, I enjoyed it. Can’t say I came away thinking of it as being an all time classic film, but in the context of the tragedy preceding its release, I think most critics and fans are predisposed to reviewing it favorably.</p>
<p>Good movie. Heath Ledger’s performance was nuanced and interesting. Movie was too long; people starting getting up to go to the bathroom at the 2-hour mark, knowing that the movie’s climax was about 1/2 hour away.</p>
<p>Saw it yesterday with my family and was the only one who wished I had not. I of course thought Ledger’s performance was great but I just had a hard time enjoying that knowing that he had died recently, perhaps with that dark character in his mind. Also, it disturbed me to hear fairly young kids in the theater laughing at the Joker…to me it was just tragic, not at all funny.</p>
<p>And I agree there was zero chemistry between Bruce and whats-her-name…AND that the editing on action sequences was disjointed and difficult to follow…</p>
<p>I hate it when I go to see a movie that has received so much hype. It’s pretty much always a letdown…</p>
<p>Simple answer: no.</p>
<p>Please! Anybody who thinks this was one of the greatest movies of all time, get a Netflix account immediately and rent (in no particular order): Lawrence of Arabia, The Seven Samurai, Casablanca, Duck Soup, Citizen Kaine, Singin’ In the Rain, The Searchers, Snow White, Fantasia, City Lights, Ninotchka, The Philadelphia Story, North By Northwest…</p>
<p>Has a better psychotic villain being acted in the last 20 years?</p>
<p>“Has a better psychotic villain being acted in the last 20 years?”</p>
<p>Excluding documentaries?</p>
<p>??? Just because a movie is really popular at the present, there isn’t a necessity to create a “best of all time” thread. Movies can only be evaluated many, many years down the line when it has stood the test of time, not the test of the box office fervor. This movie is good, no doubt about that, but what part of it makes it the best of all time?</p>
<p>Citizen Kane or Saving Private Ryan are examples of movies that deserve to be in the conversation about the “best” movie of all time. The movies the OP mentioned, especially Schinder’s List, which tells an incredibly moving and important story, definitely deserves to be considered.</p>
<p>
Anthony Hopkins’ “Hannibal Lecter” was definitely a better psychotic villain.</p>
<p>I really wanted to love this movie! But I didn’t. Not even close.</p>
<p>Hey, at least it kicked out Lord of the rings 3 out of top 10!!! I’d vote the fantastic four movies into top 10 spot if it meant no lotr would be in top 250. seriously.</p>
<p>
Although extremely good, I do not agree.</p>
<p>For best villain check out Shadow of a Doubt. Brilliant Hitchcock movie.</p>
