10 Years Later, Is Dark Knight Still The Best?

[prophecypro]

yeah

Others have maybe been charismatic and funny and culturally important but objectively from a filmaking and action stand point and storyline standpoint, this is is still the GOAT

 

[FlyRy]

DK Rises >>>>>>>> DK

:nolan:

 

[teacher]

Black Panther shyts all over this

Kilmonger>Joker

 

[parallax]

That trilogy will probably be the best comic book trilogy forever. The same way Mortal Kombat is the best live-action video game movie.

A weak beginning and trash end make for a good trilogy?

 

[TheGodling]

It was never the best, it was just something different at its time. Hell, Batman Begins is better than TDK by a long shot but people just love pushing the agenda that grounding comic book movies makes them better.

Thats a statement, how so?

 

[TNC]

No.

As I said before, it’s an amazing movie and psychological thriller but not a great comic book movie imo

 

[Code]

BP>>>>>>>>>>Dark Knight

You know a movies a masterpiece when people say every supporting actor stole the show

 

[Travellin' Man]

Only trilogy where I can honestly say I like all 3 movies.

So yeah.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

I doubt it will ever be surpassed. It's pretty much a perfect film.

Just like I doubt the trilogy will be passed either.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I thought the poll would be closer but it's not close at all so maybe the film room has some sense after all

 

[TheGodling]

Thats a statement, how so?

For starters, it is an actual Batman movie.

More importantly, Bruce's journey in BB matches Scarecrow as the villain since the movie dealt with the theme of fear (facing it, using it, overcoming it) and atmospheric-wise just has a lot of great set design and a dark feel.

TDK's entire style is just blah, filmed in what seemingly is Nolan's style now of clinically cold. The Two-Face climax is rushed and makes no narrative sense as Two-Face wants to prove to Batman that Gotham is lost three minutes after the people of Gotham showed on the ferries that they would not give in to the madness.

Add ridiculous stuff like building the movie around Batman's rule not to kill, only to have it end with him pushing Two-Face to his death while the movie acts like that's not murder and thematically their shyt just wasn't in order at all.

It's also the movie that introduced Nolan's plot gap where he will conveniently leave hard-to-explain or barely sensible plot developments off-screen so that you as the audience have to fill them in yourselves.

For all its ambition it has always been a widely flawed picture but people just eat it up for what its intended nature. Almost reminds me of a massively overrated CBM that dropped last year too.

You just said a whole lot of nothing. First of all the "style" you speak of in terms of look and atmosphere that appears on screen was created by Nolan. It's not his fault that there's been so many copy cats out there.

It's probably the only comic book film outside of Black Panther with a villain who can tip the balance in his favor. Most of these play it safe, The Joker actually accomplishes what he sets out to do and the performance from Heath was otherworldly. No other CBM has that.

Plot gap.. no, everything is fully explained on screen, some of it is more show than tell. But you do this all the time where if the script and director doesn't beat you over the head with every minute detail then you call it a "plot hole" when in reality you just are horrible at paying attention to everything that appears in front of you.

 

[AkaDemiK]

Yep. One of the greatest movies of all time
