GhostRiderfan1 revisits The Dark Knight

Also I feel it's overrated. Plus it's not far over the billion mark and it was in theaters for more than 6 months so it's not surprise it made over a billion dollars. Nolan-ites back the [frick] off and face reality.

@GhostRiderfan1: It was never out in cinemas for 6 months. You must've dreamed that part. The money does not make a film a great film. It's the critical and popular acclaim it got from people around the world. That should tell you something about the success of the film.

The Dark Knight ended it's mass theatrical run on September 28th when it was still shown in 1400 theaters across the country.

After that it was scattered around and barely topped 300 theaters worldwide. Even if it was in 300 theaters in the US, that is about 6 per state. After 3 months of being released the amount of screens it was showing on were in the single digits. That generally means that dollar cinema's were showing it.

That and it topped a billion dollars the last week of August/first week of September! Don't say things that can be easily fact checked up Google.

@LAYLZY96: I'm saying this with all due respect, The Dark Knight really is over rated. Did I enjoy the film? Of course, but 1: To me the movie drags in story development, I've seen longer movies that kept it exciting that TDK couldn't. Plus I could name 5 comicbook movies better than TDK.

batman and superman are the most known heroes in the world so back the [frick] off @GhostRiderfan1 and face reality.

tdk is not overrated because it lived up to its hype. its the best incarnation of batman on film to date. the reason its more popular and made all that money is because its batman and because it was done right.

xmenfc and iron man were done extremely right but they're not as popular as batman and those are the facts. the closest thing to batman and superman on marvel's side for many years was spiderman and the hulk(just because he had a 70's show) other than that, the people who went to see iron man, thor and captain america where all marvel fans and some action cgi fans.
and notice how i wrote some action cgi fans because if they would've received all the action junkies then the numbers would've looked more like transformers number.

because you know damn well alot of people who went to see that shit were not going to see a honest adaption of their graphics counter parts. they went to see robots fighting robots. and its sad because that means people would rather see a dumb piece of shit film than a real, well written, honest to the comics, recent marvel movie.

First off I'm 16 and I'm alot smarter with this shit than you guys think. I've grown to appreciate substance over the action, The Dark Knight to me dragged for whatever reason. There are some things we can't explain and for me I really can't explain other than to me it dragged. The 5 CBM's I feel are better than The Dark Knight are 1:X-Men: First Class 2: Spider-Man 2 3: Iron Man 4: The Incredible Hulk 5: Captain America: The First Avenger, no I know these are Marvel movies but except for Nolan's Batman trilogy, the original Tim Burton Batman movies and of what I hear of the first two Superman movies, how many ACTUAL good movies or even decent movies has DC put out? Also wanna know proof that I appreciate substance over action? Ok, as an entertaining movie I perfer Ghost Rider 2 over TDK but as an actual GOOD movie I perfer TDK over Ghost Rider 2 (though GR2 is greatly under appreciated). The Dark Knight as I stated before IS one of the best CBM's ever made but alot of people make it out better than it actually is, like seriously TDK is more entertaining and is better than Batman Begins but I perfer Batman Begins over TDK cuz I can get into it easier. To me it has more excitment in the substance to me than TDK's substance. The reason they target most superhero movie towards kids is for marketing and they hope the younger kids enjoy it and the more of the family that sees it, the more money it's likely to make. For The Dark Knight, everyone loved Batman Begins, between Batman Begins and Heath Ledger's death the movie became more popular than what I thought it should've been.

Now as far as X-Men: First Class goes, the movie is so well recieved (and apparently there are people who don't appreciate it) that between the fact that alot of people didn't like the previous X-Men movies (why I don't know) they didn't expect much from it. X-Men: First Class has a good story, strong script, good acting (especially Michael Fassbender, though there were parts I didn't like James McAvoy as Xavier), good effects and editing and great directing. It was also very faithful to the comics for the most part. That's why it's so greatly recieved. Hell unlike The Dark Knight, X-Men: First Class even in the substance kept me interested and excited. But that's my opinion.


On an unrelated note: Despite what people say 2012 does not have another Green Lantern, especially Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Spirit of Vengeance I thought was a GREAT start into the year of CBM's. Also I say The Avenger's is gonna be CBM of the year but again that's just me.

*Alexandre: 1: Critics are critics, they don't like Spirit of Vengeance because it's a movie you can actually enjoy. 2: Marvel fans living in a bubble? If that's the case then you DC fans are in dream land because Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy is far from the best CBM's to grace the screen. Plus I don't see why there are DC fans really, Marvel's characters and stories are actually interesting and even in the smallest bit, you can at least relate to their characters and you believe the world they are in. The closest DC has to that is Batman, he is in no way relatable, his stories aren't interesting and the closest to believing anything in it is the way mobs and thugs are, that's it.

look dude i saw grsov and i agree with most critics. i didnt enjoy and i was bored out of my mind. but thats is my opinion.

you dont see why there are many dc fans when marvel has interesting characters and stories is your opinion.

batman being a character no one can relate to. completely wrong

In my respectful opinion, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, minus the juvinille humor is a true Ghost Rider film and even though they did no true research on Blackout (who is my favorite Ghost Rider villain), I completely understand changing his powers so he's more of a threat than in the comics. I was hooked the moment the movie started.

If you're smart you'd take my lead and be straight edge

@Alexandre Hey I collect comics and the get the girl. Just sayin. lol

@Everyone: I'm sorry for my misbehavior.

@Wildcard: I don't have a short attention span, even though it ain't a comicbook movie, Warrior was slower paced than TDK and it's one of my favorite films (with my all time being Jurassic Park), was the action in TDK good yes, and it didn't ignore the story factor of course, I just feel it dragged when trying to carry the story. Maybe I should've been more specific, it didn't drag at first, but after awhile (namely the third act) it dragged.

@WildCard: True and I completely see where you are getting at.
