Batman “The Dark Knight” Tops IMDB

Posted in Movies by The Gossip Monger on July 20th, 2008.

If you head over to IMDB’s Top 250 Films of All Time you’ll notice that the recent Batman adaptation, The Dark Knight has topped the list with a 9.5 rating and 46,915 votes. I guess we just can’t trust IMDB anymore:

Note that MetaCritic gives a mere 82 for The Dark Knight, suggesting a good film, but not an instant classic. Yes, I’ll agree that now-dead Heath Ledger’s performance as the joker–his final performance–is stunning, it doesn’t make up for the marginalization of the character of Batman and Keannu Reaves-esque emotional range displayed by the caped Crusader. It also doesn’t make up for the terrible ending and the underdeveloped Harvey Dent plot.
