Why the **** would they add this review when you can't even read it because she didn't even finish it, or at least hasn't posted the full review yet? Hey rottentomatoes, how about I write a small paragraph praising The Dark Knight and pass it off as a review. Would you count it?

SnowShackles, you're a moron. The Departed is a masterpiece. Please refrain from saying things on here that give away the fact that you have no taste in movies.

On the other hand... God I can't wait to see this flick!!!!!

I'm as overly-excited for this movie as much as the next guy, but those are some serious accusations for a comic book movie, even for Nolan's sake.

Nolan is one of the best directors ever IMO. I would go see a movie about a pile of crap if he directed it. Sure it is a Batman movie, but it takes a great director like Nolan to turn a Batman movie into a "masterpiece" and then get a great cast such as Ledger as the Joker (which everyone thought was a bad idea at first) and now he is having oscar buzz.

This could be the dumbest quote I've ever read on RT. The character dresses up as a giant bat and confronts a guy in clown make-up. Please refrain from calling it a crime drama for heaven sake. Where does "Batman & Robin" rank on your crime drama list?

You're about as ignorant as they come.

Please try to do some research before making baseless accusations - especially when you use one of the worst examples as a basis for your so-called "opinion"

Well, The Dark Knight was heavily inspired by Heat according to Nolan, and if you saw the first 7 minutes of the film, it looks like its straight out of a crime film.

Yeah, jmills, I admit that I've never really trusted or been crazy about Staci's critiquing. I'll never forgive her for enjoying Saw 4, and hating The Host.

But she also rarely gives perfect scores or heaps such praise.

And yes, Verlander, this movie is a crime drama. I mean, for god's sake man, how is it not??

Verlander,

I have read where Nolan himself has called it an 'epic crime drama.' So...she's calling a crime drama because she's seen the movie...and you haven't.

Ok, if it is about crime, and the investigations/prosecutions that follow, how could it not be a crime drama?

Snow, you've got to one of very very few that didn't like "The Departed" That movie was amazing and should be in the top 20 of the best films ever made.

I agree with evanset6, you have horrible tastes in movies
