Greatest movie of 2008 but certainly not the greatest movie ever.

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2008)

This comes from the logical side of my brain-the one which tells me that despite all the excitement and how great this movie is, it should not have replaced The Godfather on IMDb's list.
Godfather is iconic, I don't think comparisons should even be made with Godfather and The Dark Knight. I think The Dark Knight is a stand out movie for it's genre and Heath Ledger's performance was brilliant but the movie was not perfect. Everyone else held their own in the movie but that was it.
The movie wasn't perfect-Two face was poorly developed. His transition from "white knight" to an evil guy was just too sudden for me. And I hated how everyone kept stating their intentions in the movie verbally over and over again-that includes The Joker too. I don't know how many times he had to keep stating that he wants to cause anarchy and mayhem, Bruce Wayne keeps mentioning how torn he is repeatedly as well.
Don't get me wrong, I think the movie is fantastic and a stand out for our generation (Id like to think this was the stand out movie, over Lord of the Rings or Spiderman or the Matrix etc) but it is no way the greatest movie of all time.
