I re-watched all of the Raimi ones when they were released on Blu-ray and they really don't hold up that well. They are nowhere near as good as the modern Marvel ones. The pacing of them is just weird and they have so much annoying stuff in them. Still better than Spider-Man reboot flicks though.

Every Spidey movie sucks. Spider-Man 2 probably isn't even that great anymore. I did like the newer ones. They still kinda suck though.
Those pictures of Sasha Banks earlier.....I want to fuck her into the dirt.
Drunk in Vegas, forgive me.

I feel like an old man with all these comic movies, they're all shite and not deserving of the EXTREME praise and hyperbole comic book nerds ascribe to them. Dark Knight was the fucking worst, because people were hyping it like some cinematic masterpiece, when it's just another comic book movie with a big budget, some star power and nice direction. It's still a fucking ridiculous, mostly shite comic book film. Like they all are - not that there's nothing wrong with that, there's nothing wrong with a bit of dumb, mindless entertainment every now and then, but nerds should stop acting like these films are the be all and end all of cinema.

He buried Flair so hard in it, you can smell the bitterness inside him.
As a film critic I could not disagree more about The Dark Knight. That film is excellent. Great direction, great performances and great execution on it's themes. Is it perfect? No, but it's still quite excellent. It's also anything but dumb.
Edit: I shouldn't argue with Wrestling fans on films. Probably futile.

When you compare the Dark Knight to Batman & Robin, you can understand why nerds get super excited. It's all in perspective. I don't think anyone honestly is comparing Dark Knight against real cinema classics, such as Terminator.

If you take away Oldman and Ledger's performances and Nolan's direction, that film would have nothing. It's not a bad comic book movie, in fact it might be the BEST comic book movie, but does that mean it's deserving of being ranked as the 4th best film of all time?

Fuck no. This is what I'm talking about. Fucking comic book movie nerds incapable of seeing the inherent flaws in their favourite films.

...Shawshank at the very top? hmm.

Shawshank was fine, I understand why people rate it so highly - they do so for the very same reason I have no desire to watch it again; it's schmaltzy and slightly mawkish in its tone. They're the same sort of people who love the ending to Saving Private Ryan. Or that film in general, beyond the opening 10 minutes.

That entire list is odd, and the only answer I can think of is 'internet', which annoys me.

But that's a huge part of the movie. Oldman, Ledger and Nolan definitely make the movie. But you can't say that taking that away would make the film shit. The Godfather wouldn't be close to the same without Brando, Caan, and Pacino. It just seems bizarre to say. You can say that about almost any movie.
I don't think it's the 4th best movie ever, but I give it props for being a summer blockbuster without being something stupid. Being a movie for the casual audience while also being able to have interesting themes.
Nolan truly did something special.

True, but it seems to me that a lot of what makes TDK a great film is riding on those two awesome performances and Nolan's flashy direction. The film's praised for its themes and it IS nice to see a comic book movie take a more mature approach to narrative and storytelling, but in general I found that it went about it in such a heavy handed manner that it only really stood out amongst other comic book films. It's a clear step above the average summer blockbuster, but it's no masterpiece in my estimation.

Has everyone watched this yet? If there's only one New Japan match you watch all year, make it this one;
AJ Styles vs Minouru Suzuki - G1 Climax Block B - (NJPW 2014/08/01)
Watching this now, I've always got time for Bret. People say he's a crybaby or whatever, but I hold him in higher esteem than just about every one of his peers. Bret >
Yeah, they just don't have the sophistication to fully appreciate the cinematic art-form. Fuckin' trailer trash yokels.
You have to remember that on sites like this there usually is some form of weighted rating. So if more people rate it highly it's way easier to get to the top. So of course a very good blockbusters rises that highly. The older the film the more likely there are less ratings and then it doesn't really matter how high it gets scored because of how scores are weighted.
I'd never put any comic book movie I have seen so far above The Godfather for example but on a personal level of course I might enjoy it more. That's why I have seen the Godfather like 3 times and TDK probably 5 times.

Can anybody really say what the best movie of all time is though? People squabble way to much over subjective opinions. I mean somebody could think Sharknado is the best movie ever and they wouldn't be wrong either. There is no objective statement to the best movie ever, and there never will be either. That is why when people try to claim this game or movie is better than this one are just laughable to me. There is no "best" when it comes to subjective opinions.
Yes it would, yes it would....

New Wyatt family plot, they follow Bo's methodology only for them to convert him into a Wyatt Family member.
i agree with you to an extent about Dark Knight. its still a good movie but its got bigger flaws than people really want to accept. the entire sequence of joker attacking dent's convoy, getting caught, and breaking out is a massive pile of plot contrivances. the plot would also move along a lot faster if Dent, Gordon, and Batman talked to each other like normal people instead of speaking in stupid cryptic statements.
and this isnt really bad writing but the whole 'batman taking the fall for dent's crimes' bit at the end is awkward and forced as fuck, because it doesn't really make sense outside of 'this fits what it takes to make a tragic ending'

They were just held back! They scanned the wrestlers this year it'll be good!
We just posting gifs of anybody now?
At least we now know where El Torito got his shimmy from.
People (read: insane delusional fanbois) wanted it to win the Oscar.
What? Dark Knight was a legit good movie. Great cinematography (like all Nolan's movies), great pacing and great acting.
It wasn't the best movie of all time but it was a damn good one. It was not dumb fun.

TDK wasn't anything special. Yall weird.
However since "nerd culture" feels like it has to keep announcing that they've made it, that's why people do stupid shit like hail every comic movie like the next coming of Jeezus.gif - same scenario with the Last of Us. Mediocre.

TDK is good. It isn't great. Great for a comic movie. Which I think we can all agree have different standards. Shawshank is just a boring, schmaltzy movie that doesn't have boom mics in shots. If someone told me it was a Lifetime Original, I'd believe them.
The match is nice but the commentary is awesome even though I can't understand a word of it.

What does it keep it from being great in general for you?
The boat scene mostly. I don't really have an issue with people thinking it is great, though. I really, really, really enjoyed it. I think it is silly that it is ranked so high on best of ALL TIME. But I think it is even sillier than Shawshank is even in the top 50 all time. But it's often number one and that's just god damn ridiculous.
