Hey ADK – the record in movie sales is actually 620 bazillion gazillion, not a mere 620 billion.
Dark Knight rocks & the most awesome superhero/action/badman character movie of at least the last 20 years. Period. I’m really, really, reeeally tired of certain individuals talking about it not being a great movie just to draw attention to themselves. I do realize that opinions are like ___-holes, everybody’s got one. Myself included.
It will make more sense but I’m sure it doesn’t to the studios that care more about the actual gross. it’s more fun counting money than tickets.
This begs the obvious question, why doesn’t the industry just keep total ticket sales statistics? Gross ticket sales are a totally pointless statistic.
seen tdk twice. first time was decent, second go around i realized that its just an average movie. people get off your hands and realize the hype for the this movie is all because of the death of heath. thats it, batman begins was a much better film!!! if it breaks titanics record it really doesnt mean its the best movie of all time. all it means is that its the highest GROSS dollar maker of all time! what does that mean in reality? absolutely nothing!!! i cannot believe people actually give a rat’s a-s about any of this.
Where was all this praise for Heath Ledger from all you people while Brokeback Mountain was in theatres?
For those who state this movie is “average,” I don’t mean to sound rude, but it probably means you don’t get the psychological component(s) behind this movie. It is absolutely BRILLIANTLY written and you don’t have to have had advanced film theory courses to see this. It’s definitely not for the dull of mind – the intellect behind this movie is absolutely amazing and every time I see it again, I catch something new. There is so much symbolism behind this movie it is truly amazing. I hope it passes up Titanic. The reason it wouldn’t is because Titanic is a much easier movie for the general population to understand while The Dark Knight requires some intellect behind the understanding of the movie. Nolan is a genius.
