1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Rotten Tomatoes has lots of reviews compiled now, and a 90% rating on its Tomatometer. The positive reviews are absolutely glowing. Roger Ebert gave it four stars, which is no surprise. If you read the few negative reviews, you'll notice those reviewers are mostly interested in using as many 20-point Scrabble words and pseudo-intellectually-sounding phrases as possible to describe why they didn't like the film. It's like they know most other reviewers are going to praise the film, and they go that extra mile to try and post an intellectually-superior putdown, as if to paint the positive reviewers as fanboys who didn't see the same "bad" film they did. But instead, they just come across as condescending jerks. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_dark_knight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just snotty movie critics being contrary to the overall consensus. I can't wait to judge this film for myself. I am so pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Almost all the bad reviews are from New York too, oddly. It's come down to: 1. Too dark and self-serious 2. Too long 3. Repeat the first two reasons again and again....throw in a gratuitous compliment towards the Tim Burton films. 4. Rinse 5. Repeat Edited July 16, 2008 by Presto-digitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
