I'm sorry, but the movie sucks ass. Aside from Heath's and Aaron's performance, it's got to be some of the sloppiest writing ever written. Why everyone is eating this BS up I don't know but it's not better than half the movies on the top 250. No, I'm not such a fan of those movies that merely having it bumped is irritating, but that it's being bumped for this POS. Uh, so the Joker doesn't get fingerprinted, they never take off the face paint, Batman works in a garage now?, can Batman himself be less interesting?, and what the hell happened in the first hour? (couldn't stop yawning)... Then there's the nerdy guy on TV that says he knows who Batman really is, but that goes absolutely nowhere. Come on, how hard is it to realize that it would take a billionaire to afford his own personal, state-of-the-art, custom tank? - The ferry boats. Nobody noticed the THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID IN THE ENGINE ROOMS?! Come on! Not only that, it's a huge departure from the main action to a bunch of random, unknown characters late in the story that served no previous purpose and then just ended... Next time cram a thousand damn stories into the plot and maybe you can win the Pulitzer Prize for Best movie ever made and maybe they can have a statue erected in Nolan's honor. I'm surrounded by fools. Is this the kind of movie you want to set precedence? Do you people honestly want movies riddled with plot holes, that have practically NO character development that just THROWS in little subplots here and there then just abandons them? I swear if this wins for best picture or best screen play I will never, for the rest of my life, EVER, watch the Academy awards. I'm already disappointed that viewers are ignorant enough to lap this stuff up, but this over-hype is going WAY too far. I can’t believe it got there to begin with.

Also the LOTR trilogy is getting ripped off here. Let's not forget it won 11 Oscars for Return of the King and should have won best picture for all 3 films. To grade these films fairly you can't look at age. Some people have burned into there brains that Godfather can't be beat, while others go with whats ever big know. If I have to pick right know I would choose LOTR, my deciding factor of picking LOTR over The Godfather is that the Godfather movies only got worse and worse. While LOTR all 3 films are even with people picking and choosing there favorite. But anyway the people who believe The Dark Knight is the best movie ever are unintelligent as well as the people who think it's not the best movie ever. Without a doubt it's up in the top ten and probably one of the best in there. The Dark Knight is a great movie and my be the best movie ever, but it’s to hard to tell at this point.

Star wars was great because it took movies and philosophy to the next level and special effects to another level that was never seen before...so now you compare a movie made 30 years later and say "Empire strikes back wasn't better than the dark knight" Moron!. That's like saying that a movie in the year 2038 is better than the dark knight. Duh! it better bet , but the dark knight might have influenced it in some way because that is what all great films do...Citizen Kane is considered the greatest movie of all time...not because it's a good movie , but because of how it used cameras and shadows and dialogue that before it.....had never been done before. Se7en was better than psycho from 1962...but psycho opened the window. So stop comparing old movies to new ones dummies!
