I was waiting to see the NY Times review. Cool. She's always a good writer even if I don't always agree with her opinions.

What the hell is going on with Rotten Tomatoes? If you click on the Top Critics it says there are 3 rotten reviews for Dark Knight but I only count 3!! Where is the phantom rotten review?

Ms. Dargis, this is, perhaps, the best review I've read on The Dark Knight. How many of them have I read? One-hundred and three.

Well said, madam.

She used to write for the LA and OC weekly and even though she crushed my dreams a couple times,she was pretty much always right.I always read her review first if it was possible.If you look at all the stuff she's panned you'll notice that the lions' share of it was crap.Seeing her give a superhero flick so positively is a good omen.I was waiting for her to speak up.I would also venture a guess that it's because she's from LA and isn't your typical NY pseudo intellectual.

She is my favorite critic and this is a perfect example of why. Her writing sounds poetic and, even when I disagree with her, I completely and wholly respect her opinion. Great review.

Wow. I've never read such verbal diarrhea in all my life. These so-called critics can't create anything of their own- why should they be able to see what garbage "The Dark Knight" is? Put the thesaurus down, lady, we see how pretentious you are. I bet you went in wanting to love it, didn't you? You just don't understand comic books if you like this. I hate you. I HATE you!

For the record, I haven't actually seen this movie, but having read the insane bully rants in the comments of those who didn't like this movie I thought I'd even the score. As you were.

Ledger's Death is the destiny of a movie that reaches so far into the soul. Sent from hell to play this part he has moved on, only to manifest himself again and again!

Holy Batshhhit Bad Timing!!

Truly, Christian Bale is an action figure....he even beat up his mom and sis!!! I don't care what the family dispute is....you don't assault your mom and sis!! Dude, Bale, you better wear a mask and cape for the rest of your life!!! You are gonna need it.

Film reviews are impossible these days. These aren't Janet Maslin days, you know? This review is upfront and honest for a movie that signals in an era of basically bad movies with class.

NOT PERFECT!!!

--- Shot in California. WTF!! Gotham is NY....end of story.

--- Joker was a JOKE. Not scary at all...just silly. Calls himself an agent of chaos with no plans....what Bull...one of the most premeditated schemining micromanaging bastards of all time. Give me a break.

--- Christian Bale. Now accused of alledgedly beating up his mom and sis!!!

--- Gary Oldman...what is fucckk's up with that moustache!!!

--- Two Face...another coin flipping joke. Dude, you flip once...you flip twice in a movie...not a fuccking 7 to 8 times....it gets OLD!!!

--- Boat scene... what a buncha crock...who the hell tacked this silly scene on to the movie. ZERO suspense.

--- NO BAT CAVE. WTF!

--- Maggie Glyenhall...NOW HOW CAN ANYONE (MUCH LESS BATMAN) FALL IN LOVE WITH SUCH A PLAIN LOOKING WOMAN...and is Bruce Wayne MAD....he has super models waiting to shag him...why go with Maggie

--- Michael Caine....if you are wise why the fucck are you still an butler??? And do really have to spell every damn thing out....you know....we movie watching folks do have a brain!!!

--- Morgan Freeman --- what are you...some sort of old farty secretary...give me a break...you dont have a problem making scary weapons for Batman that can maim or kill...but develop a conscience with a bit of sonar.

You get the picture....don't you? This movie is the biggest CON of all time.
