True or False: The Dark Knight (2008) is MASSIVELY overrated.


If you say False and disagree, why?

I say True because IT IS MASSIVELY OVERRATED and it's nowhere near close to being one of the greatest movies of all time...let alone the greatest comic book movie of all time.

The only great thing about the film and the main driving force of The Dark Knight is Heath Ledger's performance of The Joker.

One of the greatest comic movies of all time? Sure. Greatest movie of all time? Not even close.

Its good, but not a masterpiece its claimed to be, so I guess I have to answer true.

My top3 of the best comic book movies:

1. Sin City
2. Creepshow
3. Watchmen

One of the best movies of all time? Even I am willing to acknowledge how that would probably be a stretch. Best comic book movie of all time? Sure, why not?

reply

Its the greatest comic book movie of all time, not even close.

reply

It depends where. Her and Imdb? Certainly. Among the critics? Nah I guess it's fair. Do I think is one of the best superhero movies? Yes. One of the best movies of all times? Nope.

Do I think it's a masterpiece? Yes... but not an absolute masterpiece.

reply

No, it's a great movie.

reply

False, I'd say it's slightly overrated but still very very good.

reply

A little bit overrated. Very well done with great acting, but honestly, there have been a half dozen superhero movies that are superior.
