AMEN! The Dark Knight blew, and was fucking boring. I'm glad someone is calling it. Downey is my new hero. Iron Man was the better movie by far.

Yeah, that statement did deflate my enthusiasm for Robert Downey Junior … a little. I still think he was absolutely aweosme as Ironman and TOny Stark, and I think maybe his statement was more tongue and cheek than anything serious. I mean he does have to maintain this “bad boy” image though I really don't think he should try so hard. He should just have his movies do his talking. I hate it when actors/actresses get so big that they overshadow their characters … that's when I usually stop watching their movies. *Koff*Tom Cruise*Koff*

I loved both Iron Man and The Dark Knight. They were both great movies in their own way. Downey Jr. didn't get it or like it … that's fine. Though, his statement does seem to have a hint of bitterness which he should just keep to himself. I mean “F@k DC Comics”??? It's almost laughable he would say that. I mean what does that have to do with anything? I like Robert Downey Jr. a lot as an actor due to Iron Man and Tropic Thunder (he was the ONLY good thing in the movie … though all his good scenes were in all the trailers), so I was a disappointed to read about his reaction. It's not that he didn't like it (DK isn't perfect, but does gets better with each viewing), but rather it's how small he made himself sound. Iron Man did great in the box office, a sequel is underway (YES! Thank you Favreau and Marvel!), and was one of the more highly critically acclaimed movies of the summer … just be happy with that Bob.

it's funny that Robert Downey Jr. said the Dark Knight is too sophisticated when he himself tends to sound so sophisticated

Am I the only one who thinks those comments are hilarious? (And pretty spot-on)

Maybe it was the bad, clichéd dialogue and pointless exposition?

Maybe it was the dumb script holes like Batman leaving Joker in a room full of innocents?

Maybe it was the cheesy Batman voice by Bale?

Maybe it was the use of silly CSI type technology?

Maybe it's the fact that Nolan still really can't a action scene well?

Maybe it was the so-typical-it's-bad plot with the two boats?

Dark Knight had some great points and overall was a damn fine movie, but not really as "epic" as some like to think.

he's entitled to his own opinion.
