Looks like TDK and Spider-Man 2 are going neck-to-neck for the best-reviewed superhero movie ever.

It got another 100 but also another 50 (From Salon.com), so it drops a point to 83 on Metacritic.

Its rating is beating Spiderman 2 on RT at 8.3. I hope it can stay there.

yes a lot of reviews are piling in and many are call it the best film of the year.

I think we have to go back to ROTK when the top film was also considered the best film of the year.

Overall speaking, Wall-E is still the most critically-acclaimed film of the year, and I'd suspect it to end up as No. 1 in more critics' lists at the end of the year too.

That's not to say TDK isn't doing fabulously as well. 16 100s now at MC.

8.5 average rating now....fucking WOW.

Might end up being in the top 5 best reviewed films of the year (in terms of films that have over 150+ reviews)

17 100s at MC. Might still top WALL-E. I dunno, WALL-E has a higher average by somewhat and a higher MC score, but I think as far as passion goes, both score equally well.

If Ledger hadn't of overdosed, this movie wouldn't be getting near as much hype as what it is.. Really, the critics gave this movie a pass simply cause of this alone...

How come Wagons East didn't get a pass then?

Bull shit, you could name a lot of movies where the actor died and the critics didn't give the film a free pass.

Dark Knight would have like a 33% without Heath Ledger's death.

Maybe you should hope that Norton overdoses before the Incredible Hulk 2, so that maybe we will finally see a well reviewed Hulk movie.

That's actually funny and sad all in the same breath.. I really wonder if Ledger hadn't of overdosed and perished as a result, that the hype and reviews would've been different cause whether you want to agree with this not, the critics gave this a pass cause of it.. Any other movie made today, whether it's a superhero movie or simply a regular movie itself has Pro's and Con's to the reviews, but every review written simply says it's a Masterpiece and only touches upon these things, but the film itself DOES have it's share of flaws and you know it.. It's a sensitivity issue basically in not criticizing a dead actors final role and not looking bad while mentioning it and no critic wants that on their head..
