12 100s now on Metacritic, but it also received another 50 (Austin Chronicle). Has an 84 right now

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.

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.

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.

 Re: The Official Dark Knight Reviews Thread! (88% RT, 8.0)
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.

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

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..
