I don't know why you constantly laugh at facts. You can't argue that The Dark Knight Rises holds high marks on the two main websites for critic reviews; nor can you argue the fact that it appeared on 147 critics' Top 10 lists, with 11 of them ranking it as their #1 film of 2012. That makes it the 14th most critically acclaimed film of 2012, according to CriticsTop10.com. So, yeah, the critics loved it.

The film made over $1 billion worldwide, had an "A" CinemaScore, and is currently sitting at #59 on the IMDB Top 250, the second highest ranked film released in 2012 behind Django Unchained. And that's with almost 1 million users rating the film so not all of them can be Nolan fanboys or alters. So, yeah, the film was also loved by general audiences.

Of course it isn't the worst film of the decade, but it's probably Nolan's worst film by a good bit.

Now THIS is an opinion. Therefore I can't and won't laugh at this because it's a matter of subjective argument. However, you can't argue with what I posted above because it is objective fact.

I'm sure we'll get a lot of Dark Knight Rises responses.

For the record, TDKR is not my answer, nor has it really been anyone's answer in this thread. Therefore, not a fact. At least not yet.

It was universally acclaimed by critics and filmgoers alike,

Not a fact. You just said on this board that it would be mentioned in this thread, and it hasn't. Although, people do critique it. I'd say about 50% of the people who saw the entire trilogy that I know see the film as at least subpar compared to the other two. People can chime in here, but regardless of that, it isn't "universally acclaimed." That's Toy Story, The Wizard of Oz, Snow White, Casablanca, etc. Not TDKR.

Not a fact.

Yeah some people liked it. That's about it.

There's your first fact. Well done.

quote:
yet the movie snobs on this board believe it to be the worst movie to come out this decade.

Also, not a fact.

Should we take a vote on this? This isn't an opinion, this is a hypothesis that I'd take a sizable bet on.
