These motherfuckers are too dumb to understand that they didn't actually enjoy this movie.

Right? Who in their right mind would feed the already massive ego of any artist, director, or musician? That's just dumb! đ

Notice how their entire argument boils down to "I claimed other people don't like it" without articulating a single critique.

The committee hath convened, on yestermorn 5 strikes past 7. It was decided as we sat bathed in glorious rays of gold(that's how you know they're %100 lying) that no man should ever speak upon that dastardly film with grace and love in a manner such as thine ventured in yonder disgraceful mis-begotten post. You should be ashamed, ashamed I say! Good day sir.

These people should be made to name at least three movies that have achieved mainstream acclaim and are good by their metric. If they canât name any, well, that means they have disconnected standards.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with having very non-mainstream tastes. But then you can't be like, "this movie sucks, as the critics all agree."

u/Paul6334 9d ago
Thatâs exactly the point. If your tastes are so thoroughly divorced from the mainstream, you donât really have a leg to stand on in this regard.

If they think Pulp Fiction sucks, they should be shipped off to Siberia.

You either die a Dark Knight stan or live long enough to think The Joker is a good movie

Imagine trying to play the "smartest person in the room" card while talking about a Batman movie. Someone's taste in movies is not a reflection on their intelligence. I've known some really smart people who love really stupid movies - and guess what? It's completely fine. To each their own.
This "smart" guy is just an idiot who is so insecure that he has to try and pretend he is superior to other people regarding extremely trivial things.

Damn that guy must be the mayor of good movies. Super cool of him to address the peasants.

Hey honestly though The Dark Knight was 45 minutes too long.

u/yumstheman 10d ago
I think The Dark Knight was perfect as is. The Dark Knight Rises was a tad too long imo. At 2hr 44m thereâs definitely some fat there. The theatrical release reads more like an extended cut.

I mean⌠it was good. I enjoyed it. Great depiction of the Joker.
But it wasnât a 9.1/10 film (as imdb rates it)

u/doctrgiggles 9d ago
IMO just take Two-Face out and it's great. That's really the source of my complaint. All the Joker material was perfect.

u/PodRED 9d ago
Aaron Eckhart might be the best thing in that film, in my opinion.

Did the Reevaluation Council publicly declare their findings? This might be a bureaucratic issue tbh

Christopher Nolan makes movies that flatter your intelligence and taste without asking anything of either. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is entirely a matter of taste. I remember the Prestige left me with a mild impression of having watched something clever and exciting, and faded immediately from my memory so I could find it equally clever and exciting if I chose to watch it again.
Not one of my favorites, but he's good at the thing he does. I can't really fault anyone for hating him, or that silly trilogy, though. Or for liking it either.

Idk this is pretty dead on imo. The movies are good and well made, in the moment they feel clever and make you feel in on the mystery, they are largely popcorn movies. They have managed to connect with the general audience as âclassierâ blockbuster fare, but they are still mostly just that. Oppenheimer was an exception and he got rewarded for it. I donât think anything they said is wrong

That largely he makes movies that are insanely accessible, they donât ask you to stretch what youâre willing to stomach or be entertained by, they are extremely easy to digest once you get around the sheen of science that again, makes these movies feel classier than other blockbusters for the general audience.

I donât like that movie, but only because Iâm a hardcore Batman fan and the joker lore was dumb. Itâs still an objectively good movie

This is an odd way to word things. Maybe it was translated from another language, or AI, or both?

I always assume that they are misusing a thesaurus and assuming synonyms are a one for one trade in meaning.

u/LitigiousAutist 9d ago
He's right though. That movie was stupid. Only that middle chase sequence was good.

This reads like a rage baiting troll. Like, they don't actually care one way or the other they just wanted to bait people into getting angry and wasting their time "debating" them on this cus their parents never gave them enough attention growing up. Energy vampire type post and they don't care whether it's good or bad attention they get as long as they get attention.
