Why the Dark Knight Sucks
You’re probably thinking – “Oh no! Not another The Dark Knight review!” Trust me, this isn’t one. This movie has already been reviewed ad nauseum and for the purpose of this article it is entirely irrelevant whether I personally liked it or not. Besides, anyone and their grandma calls themselves a critic nowadays so I’m not joining the ranks on this sole principle.
Even if you should have just returned from 40 days of fasting in the middle of desert you would have heard of the most commercially successful movie ever filmed. The Dark Knight broke box office records and set new highs in the world of commercial filmography. Everyone seems to have gone to see The Dark Knight, everyone seems to have written their “review” over at IMDB and everyone seems to have given it 10 out of 10 stars rating. It almost seemed as though the crowds were hypnotized and any rating other than 10 was not even an option.
I’ve been trying hard to think of anything more irritating than seemingly blindfolded fanboys who religiously repeat their “the best movie of the year” or “the best of all time” chants every time they get a chance and I couldn’t. This ludicrous overhyping and overrating of a single picture created a force that resulted in a counterforce. Whether you call it the cause and effect phenomenon, or Newton’s third law of motion, the outcome is clear. For many people – The Dark Knight Sucks. The movie is good – it’s not great, but it’s not a complete failure either.
If you enter “The Dark Knight Sucks” into Google search engine, you will get over 3 million results. Why would so many people react with utter underrating of a movie that’s actually pretty decent? Your answer is above. One extreme calls for another. If one extremist labels it “the best movie ever”, the other one responds with “The Dark Knight Sucks”.
I can imagine some of those people who gave The Dark Knight 1 or 2 star out of 10 on IMDB, would have otherwise given it 6 or 7 stars, because even if they particularly didn’t like it, they didn’t really think it was that bad. But to balance out the madness started by the overhyping crowd, the opposing party let themselves heard by blatant underrating. Oh the irony… Why make it such a big deal? It’s just the movie!

Of Gods and Men (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) $18.99 The monks at the Trappist monastery in Algeria seem almost to exist outside of time, so it may be a while before we recognize the 1990s as the setting for Of Gods and Men. And old traditions cannot escape new warfare in this stirring movie, based on a true story that happened at a remote enclave of peaceful, studious priests. These Christian monks minister to the largely Muslim (and very poor) vil… |
