Nolan should be ashamed of himself.

Remember, though, that DKR had this bizarre Republican/Right-Wing political BJ going on for it, because Nolan specifically chose to use Occupy-types as a villainous entity. It was hugely promoted as "hollywood finally getting it right" by people like Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.
It's not about the movie for a whole crapload of these people. It's about dedicating themselves to everything that panders to their biases as if their way of life was at stake.
Sounds pathetic as all hell, right? That's because it is.
THIS is a very good point! I was thinking this the first time I saw it! -

Tell it to someone who cares
Right. How dare he post a negative opinion about the movie!!
If he was praising and worshipping it like the Hippo-crite, then you would be totally fine with it. Wouldn't have your snide comments to make. -

The OP can dislike the movie all he wants, that's his problem, but to imply that Nolan should be ashamed of making the 60th greatest movie of all time that made over a billion dollars and received universal praise is beyond moronic.

It's one mans opinion. Is it really bothering you that much?
It's no more ridiculous than the insanities that Hippo-douche posts. He just has a positive slant for the film, so you don't condescend to him?? -

If that's your opinion, then fire away.
Then use your own idiotic logic to counter argue with yourself.
If Last Crusade was a financial success, and has a good IMDB scorethen it must be great, right? -

It's your logicnot mine. I'm just forcing you to apply it consistently.
Personally, I think it's incredibly stupid. For starters, there's lots of movies that are pretty awful that not only gross insane amounts, but also double, triple, and even quadruple the box office amounts of movies that a majority of people would agree are better films. Being a financial success doesn't determine that a film is somehow superior to any other. By your logic, any film that out grossed TDKR is actually better than TDKR.
As for the IMDB score. Those can be manipulated by rabid obsessive fans who think that the IMDB score of their favorite movie somehow proves that it's one the best movies ever. -

In that case quit bitching every time I complain about Last Crusade. I mean it's a movie that had great box office numbers that many people seem to think is a good film but in reality it is "pretty awful". I mean afterall "being a financial success doesn't determine that a film is somehow superior to any other". Glad we've set that straight.

I've never once said anything about The Last Crusades box office. I honestly have no clue if it did well or was a financial success.
You're arguing in circles here, and projecting onto me like you need someone to debate you or something.
You simply used a set of logic that box office and IMDB determine which movie is better than another, and I'm simply forcing you to stick to it. If TDKR is deemed a great movie by your standards, then I would assume The Last Crusades would have to get some accolades or recognition from you. Otherwise, you're just further cementing your role as the hippo-crite -

I haven't contradicted myself once. You throw a bunch of awards and box office numbers in my face yet when the data doesn't support your argument then all of a sudden it doesn't count. If there are plenty of movies that are terrible yet got great reviews and good box office numbers then you should NEVER be using that to further your pathetic excuse of an argument. It's also quite interesting how you once said that if the academy liked a movie and gave it Best Picture then that proves that it is a better film than one that didn't win best picture. By that logic you are 100% wrong to give Titanic and Platoon a 2 because the academy loved those movies.
So which is it? Do box office numbers and the academy prove which film is better? You can't have this both ways dickhead.
