i cant stand when other people try to be an ass to people who just are giving what they think about the movie. Total jerkoffs

Thank you, James! You can't call a review 'terrible' any more than you can call a work of art 'boring'. If you don't get it, it's not for you.

Who are you to critique someone else's review? Are you a professional film reviewer?

Did you just call The Goodfellas boring?

Young one, I believe you may be cinematically challenged.

The guy does write for the Wall Street Journal, not exactly known for its entertainment section, ya know. Take it with a grain of salt. Besides he liked Meet Dave and Zohan so its obvious he wasn't hired for his ability to tell good from bad.
Why, exactly, does the Wall Street Journal constitute a top critic anyway?

He's an elitist who suffers from an inferiority complex that shows up most when the masses can appreciate a movie as much as he can.

Another NY critic, another rotten review. Sigh. These 'tards will do everything in their power to bash TDK and bring down its hype and score.

your comment makes you look like an unintelligent fool. How old are you? 11?

That was kinda mean but true.

this guy actually has pretty good tastes... guess he just wanted to be a huge turd and dump on the dark knight unjustly.

"During the first few minutes of Mamma Mia! I resisted the bombardment of good cheer, then surrendered almost unconditionally."

This tells you all you need to know about this reviewer's "taste".

Jul 18 - 09:51 AM

Say My Name

well besides that. he liked iron man and ****, how can you not like the dark knight which is way better?

Jul 18 - 09:58 AM

Pedro Hernandez

He liked Mama Mia but not The Dark Knight.

I think his review gave me diabetes.

Jul 18 - 03:03 PM

Jayson Montgomery

lol

Jul 18 - 12:33 AM

Mario Maldonado

He also liked Twilight: Eclipse? lol whut?

Jul 24 - 11:38 PM

Butters Shoe

It's probably because he thought it was scary.

Jul 18 - 08:25 PM

First Last

cheaplog nailed it! Here's guessing Joseph thoroughly enjoyed Nell, disliked Braveheart, raved about Beaches and thumbed his nose at Tombstone.

My kind of 'man'!

are you sure hes a man?? i think josephine is a lesbian

Sir, Did your wife take your balls when you got married to her? Honestly. Can you not see talent if it went up your *** and out your mouth?

Critic !

I agree with you Joe. I enjoyed TDK, it was a good movie, but it was intense and dark, not too many high notes if you will.

In regard to the fanboi's comments I'm replying to, cheaplog ("cheap" because I wouldn't pay a penny for them), have you seen Mamma Mia!? Unlike TDK, when I left the theater after seeing Mamma Mia!, I left happier than when I went in. That's exactly the opposite of what Joe said regarding TDK, learn to see reoccurring themes, neanderthal.

wow, that's about the most pompous thing i've ever heard.

DAmn it there are only 3 top critic rottens...

Rotten Tomatoes fix this crap!!!!!!

Kerry O'Sullivan

what is it with you? does your hard-on coincide with the tomatometer for this movie? go play everquest or something.

Jul 18 - 09:57 AM

Greg Osborn

Damn it, now we need 33,000 fresh reviews to get it above 99.5 %. Now I can't enjoy the movie!!

Jul 18 - 09:59 AM

Scott Sokol

Don't these idiots realize that Batman is SUPPOSED to be dark, gothic and terrifying?!?!
I mean, we're not talking Sunny-Superman here.

Jul 18 - 10:01 AM

Brandon Johnsen

No? I agree with you that this reviewer is silly, but original batman comics and TV shows were about the goofiest things you could see. He became dark later, but Batman is definitely not, "supposed" to be anything.

Jul 20 - 12:40 AM

Adam Smith

I agree with Dragon. Wall Street Journal writers are business and news writers, hardly entertainment writers. He [probably never even watched this movie, he was just checking stocks on his Blackberry the whole time. Waste of a perfectly good ticket... and a review of a completly awesome movie.

Jul 18 - 10:02 AM

Adam Smith

And Heath Ledger redeemed himself of being a gay cowboy. His performance was probably his finest. Obviously Joe didnt recognize this... too bad...

Jul 18 - 10:05 AM

Jack Sommersby

Once again, myopic-minded fools trash a critic without bothering to refute their review point by point. Instead, they cry and moan and act as intellectually as a 3-year-old. What morons.

Jul 18 - 11:55 AM

michael breshears

The film is great, this review is ridiculous, and all the homophobic bigotry in the commentary here is idiotic. What, are you twelve?

"redeemed himself for playing a gay cowboy". What crap.

Jul 18 - 02:52 PM

Ryan Long

"And Heath Ledger redeemed himself of being a gay cowboy..."

Redeemed himself? He was amazing in Brokeback Mountain and won several well-deserved rewards for it.

It's really pathetic that some of you morons can't find a more creative way to express yourselves without resorting to homophobia. How old are you anyway? Six? Seven years old?

You're embarassing yourselves.

Joe clearly likes Ledgers performance, as you can read in even THE FREAKING HEADLINE. Imbecile.

Aug 18 - 10:30 AM

Olivia Prongrer

Master Ghandi,

Did you even read the review? He didn't like the movie, he never said anything bad about Heath Ledger if you read the review.

Nov 20 - 02:54 PM

Christopher Carranza

Wow, truly a disgrace to the world of critics. I guess its just sometimes peoples prerogatives to go against the grain. Makes sense though, considering this critic is from The Wall Street Journal.

Jul 18 - 10:06 AM

Rob Beste

He didn't "redeem himself" from being a gay cowboy.

He outdid himself.

High praise indeed.
