This is the problem with movie-GAF.
"There are movies better than this movie" = "this movie sucks"
Exactly. And the scale is worst ever raped my childhood or greatest ever omg they perfected never make another movie!
But its no longer limited to the gaming side. For the internet crowd it applies to everything. Movies, music, and gaming.
Movies I notice more because I love movies so much but these threads and the few posters who shit up every thread suck the fun out of it. Basically they come with a preconceived notion about a certain movie or director and based on that construct criticism. Now every Nolan movie sucks because supposedly he does a shit job with female characters, doesn't get action, and now because GAF didn't like TDKR he fucked up Batman completely.
I loved Batman Begins. But I can never really chose which of the 3 movies I like the most. Begins blew me away so much when I saw it for the first time, because I didn't have massive expectations or anything. So it has that going for it, plus I love origin stories.
Dark Knight was amazing because of the Joker. It's the best villain in the Batman comics and Ledger played it perfectly, the whole movie just worked and was awesome.
Rises was the climax I wanted and had Hardy.
I love them all equally

Batman Begins will always be my favorite. I never thought Batman could be done right on screen. The previous movies were so bad I just didn't know what to expect. Watching BB in theaters the first time I couldn't believe myself. Its aged and you can tell it has a low budget but man the acting, the story, and the origins is nailed perfectly. For my money the best superhero movie ever made.
And of course as much as I love both sequels, nothing tops the ending scene with the Joker card reveal. Whole theater gasped.
thats the transformers crowd voting
if you like dark knight rises you are not a batman fan. Begins > joker > muppet bane
Joke post?
I love how people dismiss ratings or critics in general when it doesn't fit their opinion.
I didn't like Avatar at all and while I enjoyed Avengers it was just a fun movie but nothing more. They both got great reviews and are loved so even though I don't share the same opinion I can't claim them to be bad movies.
Did the plot and themes of the Two Face story really need to be there? Joker carried that movie and I think it lost focus because Nolan really wanted to have Batman self-sacrifice. Imagine if there had been more screen time between Joker and Batman and they explored Batman's version of insanity instead of all that wasted time with Two Face and how noble Batman is.
I think the TDKR is the worst but at least it avoided the other superhero movie trap of the sequel needing to have +1 villains above the previous movie. Still pretty good compared to most movies.
Joker's story or purpose wouldn't make sense without Dent/Two Face. He is battling for the sole of Gotham and wants to break Batman. He does this by turning Harvey into Two Face. He does this by forcing Batman to go into hiding and take the blame for murder. He wanted to cause chaos and show the city people are only as good as their circumstance.
What you are talking about is a completely different story than the movie we got. While that sounds good, the movie we got was pretty awesome too.
My personal ranking is BB>TDKR>TDK only because both TDKR and BB focus more on Bruce.
