Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2008)

I feel like Im in the Twilight Zone. Is this what passes for movies now? Since you are reading comments, stroll by the voter demographics. Highest ratings are in the youngest age group. Thats not to say all young people are voting 10/10, thank goodness. Some are smart enough to have seen older movies and cant believe the INSANE over hype, but too many just weren't around for the good stuff - before overuse of CGI, or back when there was actually a plot, the characters were developed or there were plausible reasons for things. Do people honestly think this is perfect? Will it be remembered as a classic 10, 20, 30, 40 years from now? No. The more I think about it the more irritating it becomes.
In the grand scheme of things, who the hell cares what movies it beats out because those classics *did* survive decades upon decades and this is just temporary infatuation. What gets on my nerves is that movies were doing so well for so long. People cared about making quality entertainment... for the most part. Its hard to put my finger on it because I kept dozing off during the movie, but the Dark Knight is really flawed, and to think (that with this undo attention) that this will set the new trend trend for how movies are made is agonizing to anyone that lives for movies. Thanks a lot Nolan. I think now Ill take up drinking as a hobby.
