It appears that IMDb might have been Hacked. /Film reader Andrew M sends along word that The Dark Knight is now ranked both #1 on the Top 250 and #1 on the Bottom 100 of all time (note: the screenshot above is from my IMDb pro account, as the standard IMDb display of this information is rather messed up. It’s also worth noting that TDK does not show up on the Bottom 100 page itself.). Also, films like Iron Man and WALL-E are now unrated, and has the message “awaiting 5 votes”.

    IMDB will just restore the database :P

    Honestly, thats kind of time-NOT-well spent. I doubt i will ever hear anyone be like... "Dude, guess what I did, I made the Dark Knight the WORST movie ever on IMDb.com!"

    If my friend said that to me, even if I wasn't a fan, I would tell them they are a lame-ass geek.

    I hope they feel REALLY cool, because no one else will think they are. Regardless of what movie they tampered with... LAME.
  • Tendrillar
    Awesome
  • Wow. We have e-thugs on IMDb now? Wow.
  • Ashwilliams
    Hancock, Wall-E and Hulk are also without votes. We are under atack!!!
  • Looks like IMDB has been fixed. The Dark Knight is still #1 on the Top 250 list, but it's not on the Bottom 100 list.
  • Blake
    what a pointless gesture
  • w smith
    Almost as pointless as fanboys voting down the Godfather in an attempt to make sure Dark Knight is number 1. For the record I think it is the most over rated movie of the year and I fully agree with the criticisms Dave gave in the after dark podcast. Too bad everyone else tried to diminish and downplay his opinion as "nit picking". I liked the movie, but it had major problems.
  • Killer B
    Who cares? IMDb's ratings are a joke and their crew listings are often inaccurate.

    I can't believe you gave those fools MONEY for an IMDB Pro account.
  • film god
    GENUIS!!!!!
  • Alan Geiss
    thats so stupid. They wont let The Dark Knight have it's number 1 spot. whatever, we all know it would have stayed there anyways.
  • Eli
    People are caring about this way too much. I am a fan of The Dark Knight, and I saw it opening weekend (not IMAX), and I enjoyed it. I rated it 10/10 because it was an awesome quality film, but I haven't rated the Godfather because I haven't seen it yet.

    People that rate the Godfather 1/10 because they are TDK fanboys are just sad and pathetic.

    :)
  • TheDaftPunk
    Just goes to show you that the haters of The Dark Knight have to hack and cheat to get their way. Resetting Wall-E and Iron Man votes, are they joking? Did they think those were better movies? There are no chads in electronic ballots. TDK deserves #1 - according to the system, and Iron Man and Wall-E don't.
  • evergreen
    On the other side of that coin, Godfather fanboys who give TDK a 1 are just as pathetic.
  • TheDaftPunk
    In a previous post, I said how it'd be stupid to rate either movie a 1/10. However, people have to understand that it goes both ways. There are just as many people voting down The Dark Knight.

    Also, @ Eli - We're responding to a post about hackers destroying The Dark Knight's prestige; I don't think you have any room to talk about TDK fanboys rating down anything, these hackers are doing it tenfold. It seems to me the real sad/pathetic individuals are the ones who spent so much time on this in their jealous rage.
  • YoungZe
    Ughn. -_-"
  • a
    Whaha, all the pixar movies and plenty of others have lost their votes too.
  • andrew dill
    will the real #1 movie please stand up!
  • Frank
    samething happened to like the closer and iron man.
  • Thank you
    I just wanted to say thank you to the person who hacked the site and messed up the Disney/Pixar movies.

    Thank you.
  • YoungZe
    Thank you, Thank you.
  • Chip
    What? You know what, they can just destroy the whole list for all I care. This has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard about. I loved The Dark Knight, but I'm not going to vote down a film like The Godfather (which I haven't even seen) because I loved The Dark Knight. I loathe these kinds of fans, I really, REALLY do.
  • Jerris Beutler's Day On
    They should have replaced tdk's poster pic with tub girl
  • OAKside
    @ Eli

    You haven't seen The Godfather? What are you waiting for?!

    The day these kind of hacks aren't fixable is the day I care.
  • dude
    One of the worst? meh...
    But it does not belong in the top 10 for sure.
  • stars2
    Well it just goes to show, what idiots the DK fans are!
    How can anyone who is even half normal do something like this?
    As for the silly dribbling , lip licking, teeth sucking Joker getting an Oscar - dream on dumbos !
  • Could of just been an angry admin.
  • chris
    I love how everyone is saying the DK fans are voting down The Godfather when the Godfather fans have been doing that for yrs. Out of all these posts the only one that makes sense is TheDaftPunks post.
  • that cant be ..... its an awesome movie
  • i still have yet to see this movie...

    Irony!!!!
  • A.J.
    weird...Joker anyone?
  • but if TDK is 10/10

    what are all the masterpiece from cinema history (from minelli to de sica, from kurosawa to kiarostami, from renoir to antonioni ?)

    if you go to TDK, and think it's 10/10; what will you think when you see Stalker from Tarkovsky.


    People see a new movie and think it's the best ever, forgetting that there is 60 years of amazing cinema behind you !!


    ;)

    Theres an IMDB Pro account? who knew
  • A Better Class of Criminal
    All this crap is pointless...
  • HA! Dark Knight was crap. Get over yourselves, the movie sucked more then a vacuum cleaner.

    Dark Knight was horrible and heath ledger was just awful as joker. One of the worst performances from any batman villain. Even Arnold Swarchenager was better as Ice man then Ledger as Joker. I'm glad . lets keep voting this thing down as far as possible.

    If that movies the best, then I'm G-D
  • Guest
    Pfff, who wants to watch old-people movies like The Godfather? Old movies look so horrible and dated. Advancement in movie quality gets better and better as we move into the future. Get with the times, The Dark Knight is fresh and awesome.
  • Guest 2
    You have to be one of those lame DK fanboys or a 13 year old kid to think that Dark Knight is better then the Godfather. FYI: I'm 18 years old and have seen both movies and loved them. Dark Knight was by far the greatest BATMAN movie of all time. But, the Godfather saga is timeless and amazing. I'm not going to bash Ledger, cause he was an extrodenary actor, but to compare his preformance with that of Al Pacino is like comparing a tonka truck to a steamroller.
  • StarBlazer101
    First there's an earthquake here in L.A. and now TDK is voted the worst movie ever! THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!!!!!!! REPENT FOR YOUR SINS!!!!!!! GO WATCH TDK ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!!!!!
  • John Roberts
    I heard from two different people that said it was a stupid movie.

    On the other hand:
    Shawshank has had a higher rating than Godfather for a long time, but Godfather was still number 1.
    Shawshank should have been about Godfather, and if the TDK fans have made the top 250 representative of the actual scores, all the power to them.
  • d00d
    I thought the movie was boring and Ledger's performance was highly overrated. You could have gotten any actor in the world to put on face paint and act crazy and it would be just the same.
  • Ash Frog
    @w smith

    No, the movie did not have "major" problems, but if it makes you feel special to have a dissenting opinion then go right ahead and keep thinking that.

    Wow, U R smart. I have to disagree.
  • Vivas
    I really loved the Dark Knight, its a fine movie, maybe the best film this year. As much as I like the Dark Knight I'm kind of glad that somebody has messed up IMDB, I despise lists and fanboys, you have to have fairly limited taste to vote one movie as the best ever. There are dozens of movies I've seen over the years which have really wowed me, Dark Knight is just one of them
  • malique
    is the dark knight a great movie?.....yes of course
    does it deserve number one spot on the top 250?.....absolutely not. If there's one movie ever deserve it, it couldn't be an action movie
  • Liz
    The Dark Knight will go down as the most overrated movie EVER!
  • adp
    Good Lord. Some people have far too much free time on their hands.
